Nice to meet you

Kia ora, welcome to Hanke Travels. I’m so excited that you’re here! My name is Hanneke, pronounced as Hannukah (yep like the holliday).

This is not your ‘average’ travel blog. Nope, not by far. This blog is about my life, what I see and the many journeys I’ve taken, currently travel and will take in the future.

There are a butload of different sections on the blog ranging from (you guessed it) actual travel 😉 to my LOVE for New Zealand, my journey as a mom, an entrepreneur, a projector, Food, Human Design, coaching, money mindshifts, emotional mastery and everything in-between.

If you’re looking for a specific topic, you can browse through the sections or use the search button to find what you’re looking for.

By searching for a recent family picture I realised, I have none 😅 so for now, this picture will do (and i’ll update it when we have a new one).

OUR GREATEST ADVENTURE

Please let me introduce ourselves to you. This is our happy little family, our greatest adventure. In the picture you see my husband Herman, our son Lucas, our Frenchie dog Puck and me Hanneke (Hannukah). We’re from the Netherlands, where we live up north near a city called Groningen (if you haven’t been there yet, it’s a beautiful place.)

We are wonderfully weird, completely ourselves, we love to stay indoors and make it fun and cozy AND we love to go out and explore. We don’t (only) want to tell our son about the adventures we’ve been on, we want to take him with us and experience it with us.
