i made tetris but the board and pieces are attached to your body and it's quite tiring to play

🌍 22 clients across 7 countries 💻 9 websites launched 📩 Average 800 LinkedIn sales messages sent/month 🎨 Countless visuals created That’s our 2025 at Mowgli. Grateful for our clients, collaborators & team. Let’s grow even bolder in 2026.

I was hesitating to share these presentation slides. I’m currently in the middle of searching for a job in the Netherlands that can sponsor me. It's brought up old insecurities & memories of rejection. But then I found meaning in it: I've grown. This time, it will be better!

Now, more than a decade later, I found myself back where it all began, speaking to 58 students at Hogeschool Utrecht, sharing how I’ve aligned my work with my ikigai. Have I ticked every box on the ikigai chart? Not yet. But that's the thing; it's journey, not a checklist. ↘️

Last week, I was invited by my alma mater, Hogeschool Utrecht, to speak to 4th-year students of Creative Business about my professional journey after university, and how I’ve managed to align my work with my passion. That invitation made me reflect on the last 10 years. ↘️

Monday at BWork Bali & Tribal. The photo at Tribal was taken when the power went out this afternoon. The government is rotating power shutdowns this week to manage the grid after Friday’s outage. People left their laptops and ended up chilling in the pool instead.

I'm taking a break from Bali and spending the weekend in Jakarta 🏙️. This afternoon, my mum took me to her current favorite mall, where she and her colleagues often go for lunch: ASHTA District 8. I really love the place. It made me realize that I’m a city boy at heart.

@jerryhoogeboom True, the two different work zone vibes really work. I didn’t fully appreciate this until I collaborated with another space recently. Having zones that serve different needs and vibes are great, both for members and operators. It makes it easier for us too to herd the community.

@jerryhoogeboom Ah, true 😀 it'll be hard to replicate in the Netherlands though. BWork’s 24/7 access works because there’s demand. Apart from high operational costs, as you might know, in Dutch culture, work-life balance is sacred: when it’s 6 PM, everyone goes home for dinner 😅

The heat in Bali is intense, even at night. The air conditioning barely helps. Counting down the days until I’m in fresh winter weather! ❄️

@jetsetbart @gojekindonesia Yeah, a friend shared a similar story today. She was asked to tip right in the first chat. I'd have tipped him anyway if he’d acted nice. For this one, I let him get stuck with my order for 20 mins until I received a late compensation from Gojek, then I canceled & let him go.

@VChristaldi @gojekindonesia You can report the chat. Another con is using GoFood and the driver asks you to give them cash “for parking at the resto”. Yeah mate, we’ve ordered from there before and there’s no charge.p to park.

I get it, but yo, don't be a donkey 🍑. I'm not canceling, sir. You are! @gojekindonesia

@jerryhoogeboom I’m not currently involved with any coworking spaces there (though I’d love to be) I did visit a few coworking spaces in the Netherlands this summer to chat. It’s not Bali, so the vibe is definitely different. But curious, what aspect of BWork would you want them to replicate?

@VChristaldi I'm also going back to 🇳🇱 in December! Are you also involved with coworkings there? I loved the BWork but don't know anything similar in NL..

@pascal_poredda Grass is greener on the other side 🍂

@VChristaldi Meanwhile I'm freezing at 2 degrees celsius outside and wish for warmer temperatures

@DanielLockyer @nielsgeo That’s the thing: it’s really hard to focus when sitting outside in the heat with no breeze and it’s still warm even when sitting inside with the aircon on.

@nielsgeo @VChristaldi Man idk, I feel fried in those temperatures, it kinda ruins the ability to just chill outside

@nielsgeo It’s definitely hotter than usual. The weather app shows a normal temperature, but it feels like 40'C outside (not that we can really trust weather apps here)

@VChristaldi Lol I was the complete opposite haha. Is it hotter than usual in Bali?

@shawnbuilds @BWorkBali Oops, too soon to say. It's raining right now 😂

@shawnbuilds @BWorkBali I suppose ... 1. Avoiding the start of winter in Europe or the rainy season in Thailand/Vietnam. 2. In the past years, the rain in Bali typically didn’t start until early December; just when nomads and expats begin leaving for the Christmas holidays.

And so it is: November is peak season for coworking in Canggu. I visited two coworking spaces in Canggu this week: BWork and Tribal - both were packed. @BWorkBali alone welcomed 11 returning Dutch members this week, proving my point above 👆🏼.
