Als import-Zeeuw voelde Herman zich al snel thuis in Vlissingen. De combinatie van de zee, de haven en de maritieme sfeer maakt de stad volgens hem uniek. En omdat de grootste zeeschepen hier zó dicht langs de kust varen, weet hij als geen ander waar je moet zijn om ze vanaf de kust van dichtbij te spotten.

Voor Visit Vlissingen deelt Herman zijn favoriete plekken voor restaurants met uitzicht op zee en zijn tips voor iedereen die nieuwsgierig is naar een baan in de maritieme sector. Zo ontdek je Vlissingen door de ogen van iemand die letterlijk leeft en werkt op het water.

“De combinatie van de zee, de haven en de maritieme sfeer maakt de stad uniek.”
