Defining Life Moments
Surviving a life-altering loss led Annelies to rebuild from the ground up, discovering the liberating power of simplicity and courage. Her journey through trauma became a catalyst for living with intention and helping others find meaning and sanctuary, not just walls and a roof. The wild life she embraced in Tanzania—living under canvas among animals and quiet—deepened her appreciation for authenticity, adventure and the unseen beauty of this world.
A Day in Mauritius
A perfect day for Annelies starts before dawn with meditation, then paddle boarding on the Indian Ocean, followed by coffee and a peaceful walk through nature. Work is infused with writing and creative thought, perhaps ending with time spent at local markets or sharing food and stories with others. Her love for adventure, connection and fine cuisine shines in every aspect of the island’s rhythm, from waterfalls and wild beauty to the kindness of its people.
