Since 1995 Dessing has covered more than 120 countries in TV programs, that were mostly made by her own production company, such as Arrivals, Yorin Travel, RTL Travel, 3 op Reis and Floortje naar het einde van de wereld, for several Dutch TV broadcasters.

North Korea

In 2011 Dessing and her crew traveled through North Korea, being only the second crew in history to be allowed to film a travel TV-show in that country. She has also written several travel guides.

Fair trade and the environment

Dessing is a vegetarian and has two boutiques, which sell clothing that is fair trade and has been produced in an environment-friendly way.[1][2]

Since 2009 Dessing has been a supporter of the Greenpeace climate campaign 'You Turn the Earth.' She has made a point of traveling in more environmentally friendly ways, for example by using public transport more frequently than before. Dessing uses her travels to raise awareness about the earth's vulnerability, and to stress the importance of taking good care of it.

Dessing is also active as an ambassador to the International Red Cross and to the Dutch Max Havelaar foundation for fair trade.

gollark: Where it shines is in performing random useful tasks which there isn't dedicated hardware available for, linking together disparate systems (much more practically than redstone), working as a "microcontroller" to control something based on a bunch of input data, and entertainment-/decorative-type things (displaying stuff on monitors and whatnot, and music with Computronics).
gollark: For example, quarrying. CC has turtles. They can dig things. They can move. You can make a quarry out of this, and people have. But in practice, they're not hugely fast or efficient, and it's hard to make it work well in the face of stuff like server restarts, while a dedicated quarrying device from a mod will handle this fine and probably go faster if you can power it somehow.
gollark: I honestly don't think CC is particularly overpowered even with turtles. While it can technically do basically anything, most bigger packs will have special-purpose devices which are more expensive but do it way better, while CC is very annoying to have work.
gollark: Out of all the available APIs in _G the only ones I can see which allow I/O of some sort directly and don't just make some task you can technically already do more convenient are `fs`, `os`, `redstone`, `http`, and `term`. You can, at most, probably disable `http` and `redstone` without breaking everything horribly, and it would still be annoying.
gollark: What other stuff would you disable, anyway? I don't think there's much which isn't just a utility API of some sort which you can disable without more problems.
