Why Valencia
Seven 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!
