Adventures

"When you pick up a piece of trash, you MAKE AN IMPACT.
But when people see you doing it, you can MAKE A DIFFERENCE"

I want to be seen. I want to be seen a LOT! It isn't to say "look how cool I am", but to say "look how cool it is what I am doing", "look how easy it is to make a positive impact in the world each day" and "look how much fun this can be"

So, I like to have adventures, or get creative, to try and get what i am doing, seen.

Nearly all of these adventures and projects were doing alongside a full time job. It really did consume ALL my free time. But I am now a professional plogger. This gives me the freedom to go big.

So let's get you excited (and hopefully sponsors too - so that they will come and support me to do this!) and kick of this section with my plan for NEXT MAY. 

Yep, during the entire month of May, 2025, I am going HUUUUGE

Welcome to the #12StedenPlog (get used to this.. i like to have a hashtag for everything haha)

#12StedenPlog

Plogging from and to EACH capital city of EACH province

A marathon a day for a month, in a banana suit

Over 1000km! - Trust me.. I am going HUGE!

Before we get to all the others, lets look at the adventure that inspired the #12StedenPlog. the #DutchGrandPlog .. this showed me what could be achieved if I were to do this full time!

It became a story about community in the end, and the wonderful people of Zandvoort

#DutchGrandPlog

Plogging every street in Zandvoort in a racing drivers outfit

18 days - 306km of running (the same distance as the F1 race itself

Done BEFORE the race to let the world see how proud we are of it.

#100miletrainingweek

As a meat eater, if I ran 60km in a week I got injured.
