I’m Ramon, a career “slasher” and digital nomad, currently in Portugal, who thrives on pushing boundaries and making an impact across various industries and cultures worldwide.

More?

As a pioneer in the digital realm, I launched my own social network in 2001, earning recognition as the “Godfather of Couchsurfing” and UNESCO Digital Heritage status for my website.

Since leaving my Dutch roots behind in 2011, I’ve called many places home – from the bustling streets of Phnom Penh to the windswept shores of Portugal.

Each new country – whether it’s the ancient charm of Georgia or the vibrant colors of Morocco – has shaped my worldview and sparked fresh ideas.

These experiences have taught me that innovation often comes from stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing the unfamiliar.

I am currently active in entrepreneurship, business strategy consulting, copywriting and storytelling, translations and proofreading, language coaching, and personal development coaching.

Experiences?

In the past I’ve owned three movie theaters, produced vegan cheese, and ran successful ghost kitchen ventures across Asia. And don’t let me forget an alcoholic cupcakery in Tbilisi! I fixed restaurants and upgraded hotels in Sri Lanka. As a top 50 finalist for NASA’s astronaut program and the tour operator of Expedition Kilimanjaro, my aspirations truly reach for the stars.

With my unique blend of skills, global experience, and enthusiasm, I’m the ideal collaborator for turning bold ideas into reality in today’s fast-paced gig economy. This is what I do now. Come say hello!
