The team
Founder

Works at the NKBV and in his spare time he writes for thru-hiking.com or hits the trails.

Marco Koevoets
Travels all over the world and has become hooked to hiking. Walked the Inca Trail in Peru, multiple hikes in the USA and several parts of the Sentiere D’Italia. Wants to cross the High Tatra in the near future and combines all of this with a busy job at a bank. Will visit Jordan soon and will most likely hike several trails in Germany next year.

Has travelled extensively over the past years and has lived abroad for several periods of time. Likes to go on (solo)hiking adventures with her tent and backpack for one or more days. Walked the Pieterpad and the Tour du Mont Blanc and wants to walk the Te Araroa in New Zealand someday. In her daily life she is busy getting her doctoral degree at a university and in her free time she writes for thru-hiking.com.
