Jack of all trades

I’m still ill today, so I decided to take it easy. I came to my coworking space with a fairly short to do list. One of the points on it was to do my quarterly VAT returns. Now, the problem with being a jack of all trades is, that you simply know too many things […]

After my daughter fell ill during the night from Sunday to Monday and we had to cancel our skiing trip, my week flipped a bit upside down. First I had to re-schedule a call with one of my team members, then I had to cancel one of my mastermind calls and lastly I got ill […]

Electronics for kids…and dads!

Last year I jointed a coworking space in Valencia called Vortex. One of their members, who joined in the same week as me, is that Norwegian guy called Oyvind. He’s a nice guy with an interesting story, a maker attitude and an entrepreneurial spirit. Needless to say that I’m happy to surround myself with people […]

Travel Plans 2020

I’ve just had a talk with my wife regarding our travel plans this year. We started the conversation back in December 2019, but hey, we’ve got kids! Naturally we got interrupted multiple times in our conversations and tonight we were finally able to go through our travel plans for the year together. We’ve not got […]

We’re not allowed to play with food

I’ve just had dinner with my daughter. We’ve had a bowl of roasted vegetables and potatoes and a plate full of steak and sausages. I took a piece of sausage and started playing with it. My daughter started laughing and really enjoyed the show daddy was putting on. Suddenly she said “No daddy, we’re not […]

Coworking Spaces

Coworking spaces are an interesting phenomenon of modern history. According to my favourite source Wikipedia, the concept of coworking spaces is less than two decades old. So we basically all became freelancers and digital entrepreneurs in order to be location independent. Summer in Europe, winter in South East Asia. Or maybe summer at the beach […]
