Hi there. I was born and raised in Antwerp, Belgium and discovered Menorca in 2001 and decided to settle on the island a few years later. I have lived in this little paradise with a charming local girl :-) since 2005 and have never regretted it! No stress, no traffic jams, little criminality, little pollution, nice landscape and nice weather . . . what else could I wish for? But then I discovered that the 'the white and blue island' has so much more to offer! Picturesque little villages and towns with stately historic centres and scenic harbours, unique prehistoric settlements and monuments, impressive fortresses, amazing gorges and geological formations, beautiful hiking trails and stunning unspoiled beaches that will enthuse anyone interested in nature, culture, history or archeology. Menorca will surprise you with its turbulent history, varied photogenic landscape and architecture but also its surprising gastronomy. I like to travel, having visited many countries in different continents (USA, Mexico, South Africa, Egypt, Kenia, Mauritius, Spain, Italy, France, etc. ). After completing my bachelor's degree in marketing I started working for an international tour operator, working in various destinations (Ibiza, Tenerife, Costa Brava, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Austria, Sri Lanka and Sicily) until I got to know Menorca where I started working as an official tourist guide as I enjoy to entertain my guests by revealing the island's most fascinating and extraordinary sites and stories. I'm looking forward to welcoming you on Menorca as your personal tour guide! - Bachelor's Degree in Marketing (1992-1995) - Certificate of Higher Education & Special Award in Tourist Information and Marketing (2006-2008) - Official Tourist Guide Certificate for the Balearic Islands (2012) - University Course on cultural heritage and natural areas of the Balearic Islands (2017) PLEASE DO NOT BOOK ANY EXCURSION BEFORE HAVING CONTACTED ME FOR CONFIRMATION I can drive in my private car (Fiat 500L) or accompany you in your vehicle. I am licensed to guide in English, Spanish, French, German & Dutch.

Would you like to discover the wide variety of landscapes and geological formations of the island? From dramatic cliffs and eroded rock formations over green hills and secret gorges to pristine coves and white beaches? Due to its contrasted geology Menorca offers a great variety of habitats and panoramas. The northern half displays a predominantly rocky and hilly morphology of mainly reddish and yellowish sandstone and slate which includes wetlands and a rugged, abrupt coast with more secluded beaches. The southern half is more flat and homogeneous, formed by calcareous and sandstone rocks and crossed by numerous gorges that end in a more rectilinear coastline of finer white sand beaches surrounded by pine trees. During this tour you will experience the diversity of these areas and get to know the island in all its versatility!
