She lives in the Netherlands, has worked in the travel industry for many years – since 1973 – and got her Dutch professional papers as well as the international IATA/UFTAA diploma.
After dealing with incoming tourism, she has been a specialist in business travel for the biggest travel organisation in the Netherlands at that time, Holland International.
She travelled to most European countries as well as North- and South America, the Far East and Africa.
In 1975, during KLM workshops at Schiphol airport/Amsterdam, she met Osvaldo Velo from Italy, became friends, learned about his fascination for fly fishing and after many, many years, when he started to increase fly fishing in Tuscia she decided to assist

him in promoting both fly angling and tourism in the province of Viterbo, where he lives.
She searches for contacts in the fly fishing world and explains them that Tuscia has a lot to offer to anglers and that angling and tourism make a perfect match. Besides she brings people together who want to increase tourism in Tuscia and connects them with Osvaldo.
She travelled through the area and visited many, many medieval towns and Etruscan archeological sites and wandered through the gorgeous nature to see the lakes and rivers with her own eyes while Osvaldo Velo explained her about fly fishing, fish, flies and the like.
She got more and more convinced that Tuscia deserves a lot more attention outside Italy and will continue to do her utmost to achieve it.
