Owner of Avila Reizen
Hilda Gonzalez
Because of my half-Chilean, half-Venezuelan roots, the first long-haul trip of my life was to the Netherlands. What has now become my home country was, at the time, an exotic adventure and a wonderful experience. The historic cities made a particular impression on me, but I also learnt that, for me, it is culture and connecting with people that really bring a journey to life. This undoubtedly ties in with what has long been close to my heart: my desire to be involved in social projects. When I met Tim in Venezuela, alongside my work as a lawyer in Caracas, I was also involved in projects aimed at helping disadvantaged people and offering them opportunities; and even today, at Avila Reizen, I enjoy focusing on issues such as sustainability and supporting the local community.
