A Cycling Journey: Tulips and Windmills in the Netherlands

Arendina Borreman lives in Bussum, located in the middle of the Netherlands. The beauty of nature with its colors and shapes are a great source of inspiration for her. Working for many years as a group leader, she is continually following her passions of traveling, photography, and art. In her spare time, she works as a forester supervisor at Natuurmonumenten, a nature preservation organization protecting over 110,000 hectares of natural space in the Netherlands.

Stella Kuper comes from the northern part of Holland and before becoming a group leader, she worked in human resource management. She has her teaching degree in secondary vocational education and during the winter months still works as a human resources advisor. Her real passion, however, is cycling, hiking and traveling. She loves sharing her knowledge and the history, culture and customs of the Dutch people.

Alita van Wanrooij, having worked as a group leader for nearly ten years, is passionate about sharing her home country of The Netherlands through biking, walking or skiing. She loves to travel and explore Europe and also works as a group leader for adventures in Austria, Norway, and Iceland. In addition, Alita works as a business coach and course developer, and during the winter gives lectures about the cultural differences in international business environments.

Anja Zandvliet has been leading biking and barging experiences throughout the Netherlands for the past five years. She fell in love with cycling holidays in 1994 when she booked her first cycling trip to Greece. Since then, she always travels with her bike, mostly fully loaded with panniers and a small tent. Passionate about her country, she became an official National Guide. She loves to show off all the interesting things to see, especially small old towns along the back roads.
