Traveler. Coach. Guide.
I am Jack Leenaars — and I believe that real life begins where the comfort zone ends. Not somewhere far away, but inside you.
My story
I was myself
also searching
At 28, I had a good job, a beautiful apartment, and a life that looked perfect from the outside. But inside, I felt empty. I lacked direction, adventure, and the feeling of truly living.
I grabbed my bike and set off. First through Europe, then through Morocco, India, and beyond. Every kilometer taught me something new — about the world, but especially about myself.
Back home, I knew one thing for sure: I wanted to help others discover the same. Not by telling them what to do, but by standing beside them while they discover it for themselves — on the bike, in the mountains, or in an honest conversation.

Growth lives outside the comfort zone. Jack challenges you to take the step you've been putting off — and walks beside you when you do.

What participants
say
“Een absolute levensveranderende ervaring. Jack weet precies hoe hij je uit je comfortzone haalt op een manier die voelt als thuiskomen. De fietstocht door India was zwaar, mooi en onvergetelijk — ik zou het morgen opnieuw doen.”
Marie van den Berg
Indie Fietstocht
“Op mijn 52e dacht ik dat grote avonturen voorbij waren. Jack bewees het tegendeel. De groep was geweldig, de route adembenemend en de begeleiding professioneel maar persoonlijk. Al mijn vrienden gaan nu ook mee!”
Pieter de Vries
India Fietstocht
Jack's coaching has completely changed my perspective on work and life. He asks the right questions at the right time. No nonsense, just honest and insightful. I recommend him to anyone feeling stuck.

Coaching & Retraite
I was skeptical about 24 hours alone in nature, but it was exactly what I needed. Silence, space, and Jack's guidance gave me insights I had been seeking for years. Truly a gift to yourself.

24h Off - Reflection Journey
The climb of Toubkal was the hardest thing I have ever done — and the most beautiful. Jack guides you not only physically but also mentally. I came back a changed person. Everyone should do this.
