She moved from Romania to Amsterdam for love and dedicated to staying, as long as she's surrounded by her family. Ioana has a clear mission, to bring people outside and strengthen their connection with nature.

Join us for an inspiring episode with Sharline, who traded the island life of Curaçao for city life in The Hague. As an accountant with a heart for giving back, Sharline also runs a foundation called Caribbean Angels, to make a difference in the local community of her neighbourhood Loosduinen. What is her vision of a Good Place? Let's find out!

A visit to De Plek, a youth center located in Loosduinen, led me to Jan Janssen. He is a real Hagenees, born and raised, and since he retired at 65 years old, he has dedicated his time to community service. He's actively helping the neighbourhood, and supporting youngsters with a place to meet, learn, educate, and mostly have a good time. #goodplace
