My name is Joost Bazelmans and together with my best friend Michiel Kin we started a foundation that will make camper holidays for people in wheelchairs possible. So that, even if you are in a wheelchair, you can make road trips and keep going on an adventure.

We have been best friends for over 30 years. We got to know each other through a network association of our parents (the Round Table). We became friends and have been together ever since. Michiel has Duchenne muscle disease.

Since we met, we go on vacation together. We frequently visit Michiel's family holiday home in Cadzand- Zeeland. But Zeeland is not the only holiday destination we visited together. 

We made many trips through Europe with Michiel's bus; to Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, England... We also visited distant destinations outside Europe together, South Africa, Australia, America and a few flights to the edges of Europe.

We are privileged to have lived all these holidays together, we wish everyone a similar experience. 

Air travel has been out of the question for several years now. Michiel can no longer sit in the same position for long and is dependent on his ventilator. The aircraft seats offer too little comfort and power supply for the respiration is not always available.

In addition, the wheelchair is fairly large and there are all kinds of equipment hanging on it, such as a respirator. As a result, the seat cannot simply be folded and is often too large and vulnerable for transport in the hold of an aircraft.

Since we have set ourselves the goal of getting the most out of life, we want to keep going on adventures. To enjoy. See and experience the world.

Fortunately, Michiel has his own van that we can use to get from A to B. However, this bus is not suitable for camping or long trips. Michiel sits high and looks at the storage space above the front seats and because of the noise we cannot have a conversation, Michiel cannot raise his voice due to his limited muscle strength.
