This'll be part of my workplace. Instead of spending all my time behind the screen, we moved to #Bonaire to spend more time outdoors. My new part time job involves sending people out on the water and making sure they have a good time. In the hours in between, I still write code. With a nice view 🦩🌴🚤

After 5 months living on Bonaire, still feels like a fresh, new adventure every day. And they fly by fast! We're spending more time together as a family and we've been experiencing a lot of different new activities together. It hasn't always been easy, but it's well worth the risks we took. 🦩

Looks like a good place for a late night snack! Location: Pier Dos in Kralendijk, Bonaire, Dutch Caribbean

We were invited to attend a freestyle windsurfing demonstration. It was wild! These stunts were incredible, even in relative low wind speeds!

Today we volunteered in preserving the coast line of Bonaire. Together with 20 something volunteers we planted a lot of baby mangrove trees. These will root and will shelter the coastline as well as serve as a nursery for aquatic life. It's also a huge absorber of carbon. 🌱 Multiple eco wins! 💪
We see a collection of baby mangrove trees standing in a shallow shoreline. In the distance the iconic Salt Pier dominated the horizon. The sea is calm and the seeing sun lights everything with warm hues.

Last year we bit the bullet and chose for better work/life balance. Time spent and people met during summer on #Bonaire sped this up, and now we started a new adventure: working remotely (and part time) from this tiny Caribbean island. More family time, more outdoor life, and doing work we enjoy.
Stone steps lead to a serene beach with turquoise waters. Framed by lush green trees, the peaceful scene evokes tranquility and relaxation. This is the famous 1000 steps beach on the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean Sea.

Reading this book on the evolution of information networks and oh boy is the section on dictatorships emerging from strong democracies... ...er 🤔
Dutch book cover of the book Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari. The book is about the evolution of information networks. Also, it has a pigeon on the cover and pairs well with coffee.

Did something completely different today: attended a workshop in metalworking. Hand forged a small knife (almost) from scratch. Very rewarding process! 🔪

Doing a thing 🤿🫧🤙 The water is great on Bonaire, sea life even more so. Diving under the Salt Pier is a bucket list thing for every diver here!

This cheeky chonky guy has escaped for the nth time! 😂 ...alerted the owner during my morning run 🐑💨
Photo of a ram (sheep) standing on the side of the road. You can tell by the pastures and housing in the background it's a rural area. Also, this ram would normally be found inside a fenced meadow. Not today!

Started to do morning runs after a long break from running. The views are great!
A country road winds between tree lines. From the left, we see sun rays shining through the trees and made visible by an early morning mist. The grass is exceptionally vibrant and green. The end of the path has a highlight.

Saw this rainbow sticking out of a Swedish forest the other day. The clouds were being extremely dramatic as well.
Aerial photo of a lake composed in the foreground, pine trees reaching to the horizon near the middle and a rainbow reaching for the dramatic clouds overhead. The photo was taken during the golden hour, with vibrant colors. The rain clouds add an extra dramatic effect.

Know what I did? I went to Sweden for a week. It was awesome!
A tracked snow quad standing on the banks of a frozen lake, on the snow covered lakeside. The sky is the bluest of blues. Some hills in the distance and further up the shore, some pines with the sun shining through them. If the picture would make a sound, it would be silence. Until you start up the snow quad of course. Then it would be deafening noise.

I brought this little souvenir from my visit to New York. It's such a neat little #LEGO micro build, the Brooklyn Bridge is positioned at an angle! I love this! Built it together with my kids! 🗽🇺🇸
