Why Valencia
​
Four years ago I discovered Valencia during a solo city trip. Because Valencia offers the ideal opportunity to combine culture and beach, I decided to extend my stay from a few days to a week. Back in the Netherlands, I felt that Valencia had much more to offer me and I decided to return every month. Exactly six months later the day cam that I permanently settled in this beautiful city.
After completing my studies in Tourism, the work experience gained in this industry and my part-time History course, I ran a company for many years in medical devices for the those in need. In these vastly different sectors, one very important fact kept emerging for me: communicating with people is in my nature.
Organizing and arranging is not only a quality that I have developed, but also what makes me personally happy! Helping people, referring and advising them has become second nature to me. A skill that I have been able to use with great pleasure and satisfaction, especially in Valencia, in recent years.

Why Get Involved
Over the years, I have unconsciously become a 'go-to person'. Whether guiding a tour or enjoying a glass of wine on a terrace, I often find myself helping a 'lost tourist'. I am always happy to assist whenever possible.
​
I wanted to build my own business again in Valencia. The big thinking about the 'what, how, and why' began.
​
As is often the case, sometimes the answer is simply 'right in front of you'. From my interests, my studies, and especially my personal experiences, Get Involved Valencia was born!
I now work with an incredibly wonderful team. People from all over the world who have each fallen in love with sunny Valencia!
