Itinerary

The Green Sense tour is a project running from October 2013 until August 2014. I will work in sustainable start-ups during one month. While travelling in between those five start-ups, I will meet other green changemakers and entrepreneurs. On my way I will be meeting other members of MakeSense informally, in a Sense Drink or in a Hold-up.

Have a look at my itinerary. The map shows place where I have been (connected by a line) and the places where I want to go in the near future.
