Theme: Think BIG

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Hera van Willick

Hera van Willick was born in the city of Tilburg in the Netherlands in 1985. She studied music, with singing as her main subject, at the conservatory of Utrecht. After graduating she took theater and acting courses at different academies. At the age of 24, driven by a deep rooted desire to see the world and go on an independent adventure, she set off on a 6 month solo bicycle trip around south east Asia. After four more years of studying and working as a singing and acting teacher she decided to no longer pursue a career in theater. Her craving to see the world had grown too strong to negate. She cycled from the Netherlands to Thailand and back from Turkey to the Netherlands over the course of 14 months. Back home she started speaking at different occasions about her travels and the insights she gained along the way. In 2014 she set off on another 13 month trip, this time crossing north and central America, from Alaska to Costa Rica. Today she lives in a small cabin in the Dutch countryside, works as a bicycle messenger and inspirational speaker and studies philosophy at the Radboud University.
