#sportive

Sport has been a main influence in my life. As a youngster I tried judo, table tennis and football before I found my passion in Basketball. When I started to travel I turned ski-ing and diving into professions and kept tennis as a hobby. The decision to go into golf came after my four seasons as sailing flotilla leader on yachts. Yoga, pilates and e.g. darts I did in my profession as Event Coordinator. Did I miss one? Most probably.

#hospitality

The keyword of working for more than 25 years in tourism. Serving my clients, or rather guests, in the best way possible. Nowadays they call that the ‘customer journey experience’. I just try to look at all the tiny details and do that with a smile.

#social

As a result I became more and more social. The young shy Arjan disappeared and became a confident personality among all and everyone.

#funny

This resulted in being quick and interactive with words. To my surprise people call me funny.
I take that as a compliment.

#flexible

Due to my lifestyle so far I can and will adjust to a new position or situation very fast. Adjusting into a new working environment is the most easiest thing to do for me. I see it as a previlige to be able to do this.

#entrepreneur

Routaki routes and the interactive GPS city walks on the VoiceMap platform are the most important keywords. With self discipline and continuation, I still believe in doing the things you like, but also have the trust in exponential growth. Back in the days I had an own restaurant on my name on Crete, while still producing souvenir dvd’s of the scuba diving adventures. After that developing the whole Routaki routes platform.

#creative

In all those seasons my brain never stopped creating things. From mosaics to websites and logos to camper tours. Sometimes I wish it would be a bit less.

#stubborn

or strong personality. I know what I want and I think I know how to get there. Always willing to listen, but never without a good discussion.

#sensitive

I sense everything. Mostly in noise and sound. I love quiet places, which pitifully become rare nowadays.

#driven

Once a thought fits in and it feels good, I can go a long way to get it right. I try not to be a perfectionist. Better something good and finished than perfect and unfinished.

#studious

Learn by doing; “you only need to be one page ahead of the one you teach or instruct”.
