"Having previously organized culinary wine tours to French and Italian wine regions, from 2004 I focused entirely on South Africa. Under the name Exclusive Culitravel, I organized culinary wine tours, both for small groups and individual travelers. Before long, I was named "Mister Goodlife" in South Africa by my guests. From 2007, in addition to the culinary wine tours, Exclusive Culitravel also marketed individual tours with themes such as safari, golf, culture and nature, the so-called exclusive tailor-made tours. Starting in 2009, destinations such as Botswana, Victoria Falls, Namibia, Mozambique, Mauritius and the Seychelles were added to "The Good Life in Southern Africa." on the revamped website www.exclusiveculitravel.nl. Meanwhile, as Mister Goodlife in South Africa and neighboring countries and islands, I have also selected many luxury villas and vacation homes for groups or families. These are now presented on the website www.vakantiehuizen-zuidafrika.nl. In 2023, after the 3 year Covid travel implosion, I decided to start expanding the travel territory to Europe once again, and in the autumn of 2024 www.thegoodlife-europe.com will be presented online with Mister Goodlife's newest exclusive and sustainable lifestyle & travel trips in Europe, Mister Goodlife's Signature Trips.

"My goal is to exceed guest expectations. To achieve this, service, small scale, individual attention, hospitality and quality are paramount as pillars of service and execution. All hotels and guesthouses, safari lodges, golf courses and golfresorts, wine estates, restaurants, , safari parks, nature reserves etc. that you will visit in Southern Africa or Europe I have visited and reviewed in advance and carefully selected for quality, location, hospitality, sustainability, comfort and exclusivity. My social involvement in Southern Africa and Europe is expressed in the choice of suppliers, partnerships and supporting 2 charities namely 'HoKiSa, Homes for Kids in South Africa' and 'Isabelo - Feeding Hungry Minds'. In addition, I offer full FairTrade and/or sustainable travel at 5 star level. I understand the art of translating client wishes with a large dose of creativity into special tailor-made travel plans steeped in my love for 'The Good Life' in both Southern Africa and Europe. I promise you will fall in love too."
