Since I became an entrepreneur (again) in 2008 Sanne and I have not worked in an office. From 2008 to 2021 our work (for Spotted by Locals) was visiting cities around the world and meeting people. After work, we had to catch up on computer work in bars, short rental flats or hotel rooms. Our “home” and our base is… Continue reading 18 years of hybrid work – 12 tips
On a recent visit to the very cool Fenix museum – an art museum about immigration in Rotterdam that opened last year – I saw this “World Passport”. Nice idea and piece of art, I thought. “If only this existed”. And I took a picture. The concept stuck though, and I started reading more about it at home. It turns… Continue reading How to become an official “World Citizen”

After at least 10 trips from Amsterdam to Athens (or the other way) via the Balkans since 2017 we took the last trip in our beloved stealth camping “vannaki” last summer. Almost every trip, we took a different route. Here’s a few of the best ones – I really enjoyed remeniscing! The fastest (land) route During early Corona times, we… Continue reading Driving Athens <> Amsterdam
Stealth camping is wild-camping without being noticed. I really recommend it if you love freedom, and don’t like big campers & campgrounds.

A big thanks to Antonis & Irini for introducing us to to this magical place in 2009. This year we spent it with very special guests: the A&J&A&P&A family from Amsterdam came to visit us for a second… Continue reading Wild camping Peloponnese
Almost a month of work & weekend trips (for Sanne & me) and full holiday (for my parents) in Oman. It was beautiful, the country as well as the chance of being able to do this magic trip with my parents! Workation in European winter in Muscat Oman – the summary:🍚 Multicultural: Arab vibes, but sometimes more India / Pakistan… Continue reading Workation: Oman 🇴🇲
This lucky bastard worked from Guwahati (Assam) for a month in January, with weekend excursions into Assam and Meghalaya.
Recently, we drove our little stealth camper from Athens to Amsterdam, via North Macedonia, Kosovo, Bosnia, Croatia (no stops), Slovenia, Austria (no stops) and Germany. It was an amazing trip. In all the countries we visited, wild camping is not allowed by law. Before we left, I thought that would mean we would have to stay in hotels at least… Continue reading Wild camping in Kosovo & Bosnia and Herzegovina
