Henk-Jan (1968) is a driven entrepreneur for whom his business has always come first—but in that devotion, he also loses himself. So focused on filling his days, he loses sight of what truly matters. Eventually, he hits an unrelenting wall and ends up facing burnout and divorce. Slowly, an old dream resurfaces and the desire to embark on a pilgrimage grows. When he and his business partners agree to each take a three-month sabbatical in turn, he seizes the opportunity and begins to make his plans. In 2024, he turns his longing into action and sets out on the S:t Olavsleden. It marks the beginning of a remarkable story about a beautiful human being.

He hesitated to publish his journey and personal reflections. It was such a deeply personal experience, and he realized it might move others. Still, he felt that everyone should have the chance to see what a pilgrimage—in his case, the S:t Olavsleden—can do to a person. This journey taught him so much, made him feel so deeply, and brought him so many moments of pure joy. It deserves to be shared.
