No visitor to Schueberfouer can miss the antique wooden caravan at the end of the Glacis car park. This is where many bankers and businessmen go to ask what their future holds.
Caravans give the fairgrounds a romantic feel. The wooden interior is intricately decorated, and the windows are covered with newspaper clippings of fortune teller Annika Teunis when she hits television and radio channels.
Now she’s busy predicting people’s futures, saying she has a gift that’s been with her family for hundreds of years.
Theunisz’s family has owned her workplace, Caravan, for over 100 years. Ruffled curtains protect guests from curious passers-by, and large burgundy armchairs look inviting. The middle of the caravan is covered with Persian rugs and the walls are decorated with old paintings.
Theunisz works with his daughter Michele. Both are fortune tellers, Tarot he claims to have the ability to see the future with the help of cards and palmistry.

“This gift has been in our family for 500 years,” says Michele. “Passed from Mother to Daughter”
As soon as a customer walks through the door, they say, they understand why the customer came in. “You can see all of their faces.
“Then the map confirms what we thought,” adds Michele.

Anika and Michele, from the Netherlands, have been in Schueberfouer since 2009 and travel throughout Europe and America.
Luxembourg people are open, kind and spiritual, says Michele. Our customers come from all walks of life and all ages, and most of them are bankers and office workers. Love is what drives most customers to them, says the woman.
“I teach them how to get the most out of themselves. With my help, they should be able to achieve happiness. Giving people back their confidence is an important part.”
“To be a fortune teller, you need a lot of love in your work. I give a lot of love, but in return I receive love and gratitude.”

Michele particularly enjoys dealing with young people looking for their own way in life, and admits that the line between fortune-telling and giving someone a friendly ear often blurs. has a group of loyal customers who return to Shuberfour every year. Some are in regular contact via email or phone.
