Luc


– Owner Carrefour
– World Traveler 
– Active dreamer

Born in Belgium near Antwerp. From an early age travel is a true passion. Any possibility to make a far journey was seized. On foot, by bike, by motorcycle, by 4×4. His travels took him through Europe, North America, Australia, but above all very often through Africa. Of course he also worked very hard for a living between all these trips, mainly in Belgium but also abroad. The great fondness for desert regions has ultimately led that he finally settled down in the Moroccan Sahara desert. Luc comes to life when he can share his great passion for the beauty of the desert and wide-open expanse of rocks and sand with new visitors to his hotel: the Carrefour des Nomades
