Will Huetinck

Will Huetinck, Director of Dragonfly, has many years of experience in the field of education, cultural travel and adventure tourism.

He has been a teacher since 1993 with experience in Taiwan and Hong Kong. After some years at an International school in Hong Kong he was drawn to the field of outdoor learning.

" After returning from a program I would see a real change in my students. They would gain confidence in themselves, show more initiative in their school work and work better with others."

Will has coordinated and developed outdoor programs in several Asian countries including Nepal, China and Thailand. These ranged from day programs locally to 5 week treks to remote regions.
