Dreaming And Doing

My life had been a rollercoaster for a while after I was told I had had a psychosis NAO in 2010 during a vacation. It wasn’t all bad what happened. It helped me realize that I shouldn’t be dreaming only of doing something in the future. But that the future is now.

Small Changes

I started making small changes in my life. The first thing I looked at was how can I live the life I want without being concerned about what others think and how are the relationships in my life? This was the hardest part and took a lot of time and therapy to change into what I wanted, but it was worthwhile.

 Courage To Start My Own Business

The second change in my life was that I finally had the courage to start my own business. Through doing this a whole new world opened up for me. The world of entrepreneurs mostly people following their dream and working with passion on something.

Digital Nomad In Singapore

The last thing I did that was part of the ButterflyEffect leading to my choice to travel the world as an entrepreneur, was to go to Cuba alone at the start of 2013. This was my first long trip alone again after falling ill in 2010 and the death of my father (1945-2011) in 2011.  It turned out to be one of the best presents I could have given myself. I got inspired by the country, the locals and two travelers I met there. I loved the way they looked at the world. Back home I decided to do something with the inspiration but in a manner that suits me and not just copying them. The rest is history and now I am in Singapore combining working and exploring my surroundings. I must say the first glance at this lifestyle feels good.

Butterfly Effect LTD & Databeet

In 2013-2014 I traveled the Pacific and had my company Butterfly Effect LTD, registered in the British Virgen Islands. It was supposed to be an forever travel, but things happen. I kept traveling till COVID-19 happened from a house in The Netherlands. With having a house in The Netherlands I had to give up Butterfly Effect LTD and open Databeet again in spring of 2014 (Databeet was not inlisted with KvK for almost 6 months in 2013/2014).
