Tour guide in Maastricht Chantal V.

I am a traveler. I have traveled all around the world. Alone and as a tourguide. I love to meet new people and discover new places. To share expierences and to connect to others on a personal journey. That gives me so much happiness in life. Evendo I traveled a lot Maastricht has been my home for 25 years. And as a local I am a traveler in my own city, discovering new things every day. Maastricht is a beautiful old city with a rich history that goes all the way back to the romans. You can still see the bridge, citywall and church from that time. Since 1500 it has been a place of pilgrimage and worship. Settled along the river the Maas it is so pittoresk and a very cozy city. The reason I moved here to study art. The city has developed a lot over the years and still is. The rich Industrial history we have here is also an important part of the city like ceramique. Those Industrial buildings are now turned into hip places. To eat and drink go to concerts and movies or enjoying the view of the city. Every year we have the famous international Art fair the Tefaf that is also a great way to combine it with a visit to the city and surroundings. Other special events, a concert of Andre Rieu in July on the Vrijthof in Maastricht, his hometown. Carnaval is a wonderfull colourful 3 day event in February, with costums and parades. If you are abble to visit in December the city becomes magical with amazing Christmas lights all over the city and its christmas market. Another thing I love about Maastricht is the beautiful scenery and landscape that is just a short distant away from the city. And different then the rest of Holland we have hills. Amazing landscape with small villages, road crosses, and caves. This is where the took out Marl to build houses from, that you can see along the way. I love to walk and bike. We can even walk to Belgium or just half hour drive to the spot where 3 countries meet. During WOII there was a lot of fighting in the area. Margraten has the biggist American cemetery to visit. Everything is possible. I am flexible and all tours can be custumized. I live in the center of the city. My education is fashion and art. Beside tourguide I am an coach and trainer of selfdevelpment. I love to go to the theater opera, dance and music concert. I love to celibrate life and laugh a lot. I am spontanious and open. Maastricht is a city best for walking.
