For some time I had been seeing the Rota Vicentina pass by and more and more the idea attracted me not to walk up in Portugal to Santiago

I am Jacomijn, I founded Safe and Healthy Travel

In 2015 I decided to share my experiences as a solo traveller. It was a big step to start traveling around the globe just by myself in 2012, but it has enriched my life beyond expectations.

In the years that followed my way of traveling changed. I started to connect more and more with local people and their way of living. By doing so I started to self reflect from their perspective and got to know myself better also. The hospitality of the people is heartwarming. I wasn’t necessarily looking for this new way of connecting, but these experiences opened up a new way of traveling: more in tune with nature, people and their culture.

I’m always meditating and practicing yoga, also during my travels. I took a ten day Vipassana course three times and I went to India to do the 200 RYT Yoga Teacher Course. I try to push myself out of my comfort zone to learn and to grow.

I think a healthy life style is key to enjoy a busy traveling schedule and work-life balance. You’ll see me enjoying yoga everywhere, especially at stunning locations.

Because I also work full time police officer in the Netherlands, I have in depth knowledge of public- and private safety issues. During my travels I have encountered many challenging situations. You’ll find lot’s of tips and tricks on how to avoid and handle unsafe situations.

You can connect with me on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram, or just send me an e-mail at safeandhealthytravel@gmail.com.

Looking forward hearing from you!

Sunshine greetings!
