Patrick Wenckebach (Netherlands) - Expedition Leader
![]() |
Patrick was born and raised in the Netherlands. Living in a country where a two hour drive brings you to its borders, made traveling a natural part of his life. By the time he finished his Master's degree in Quantum Physics and studied Econometrics, Europe held no secrets anymore, so it became time to discover South America, Australia and Asia. Patrick has been a Marketing Strategy Consultant for blue chip companies for the last eight years. He is a well-respected speaker and published writer in the consumer goods industry. Even though he managed to devote several months a year to travel, eventually the lure of exploring foreign countries and cultures |
became too strong, and Patrick started a new career by founding Living Footsteps. Apart from traveling, Patrick also has a passion for outdoor activities, cooking, photography and writing. Patrick speaks five languages and is still working on making this a longer list. In the years of traveling abroad (both as business traveler and backpacker) he has visited over 45 countries. His biggest fear is that at some point in his life, he may run out of new countries to visit. |

Corinne Overman (USA) - Education Director

Since the days when her mother couldn't leave her alone for a second before she was up to something, Centerville, Ohio-born Corinne always possessed the spirit of adventure, and the desire to help others understand that the world isn't full oddities, but understandable differences. First venturing off to Indiana, Corinne earned her university degree in Accounting from the Kelley School of Business, before moving onto San Francisco, and then later to Holland where she dedicated her career to helping global companies improve their internal operations. During those seven years, Corinne was also lucky enough to have her business endeavors and personal travels allow her to explore a spectrum of different cultures, and regions in over 25 countries in North & South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. Now faced with the challenge of making her passion a reality, Corinne chose to use her business skills, love of travel and sense of adventure to not only continue |
to explore the world around her, but also to dedicate her life to helping others understand the hope and beauty of the people and the world around us. |
