Description
After more than 13 years (from 2012) of working to draw attention to beautiful sustainable citizen initiatives in the Netherlands with my American school bus, I recently handed over this bus to an organization that offers people a second chance. I will now be driving through Europe with a camper for the next 3 years to visit sustainable projects and help where necessary. I then want to share my experiences within my social media networks to show others how you can live together. I don't want to tell anyone how to live, but to show how you can live. Because a good example still requires people to follow. See at www.drivetoconnect.nl what the American school bus was used for and at https://www.linkedin.com/in/hansvanmeggelen/ what my experiences and skills are.
