In 2005 we moved with our family to Sweden where we have lived with great pleasure for 15 years. Nevertheless, we have decided to move to Spain in 2020. We have been coming to Jávea on holiday almost every year for 20 years and I cannot deny that climate played a role in our choice ????. Our children have conquered their place in Sweden and have not (yet) moved with them.
In the Netherlands I worked in IT for 9 years at Twinsoft and Sogeti and I was deployed at Rabobank and the then PTT-Telecom. There I did technology, customer service and sales. But at a certain point the mandatory office hours no longer suited me.
I stopped in IT and started a wholesaler of wooden toys and promotional gifts. This wholesaler then moved to Sweden. Although this gave me great freedom, I was still bound to a place. At a certain point my IT blood started to itch again. I put the wholesale trade on hold and started building websites in Sweden in 2008. First in HTML and CSS, later I switched to Joomla!
The freedom to work where and when I wanted was made for me. For the last 6 years I have been in Jávea every winter for 2 to 3 months and have been able to do my work there without my customers noticing. From now on Jávea is my home base, but I will also regularly be in Sweden and the Netherlands. Without losing sight of my customers, of course!
I feel that I am now working on my passion in the right place!
