TEDxFlanders - Catherine Van Holder & Ine Dehandschutter - Digital Nomads September 26, 2011

Favorite:

Ine graduated as a photographer and webdesigner. During a trip to Iraq she became intrigued by the Middle East. She traveled to Israel, where she received a postgraduate in the arts. During this trip she enrolled in the blogger circuit and became a well read blog personality. Today she combines her passion for photography with her geeky webdesign side in her company called Matuvu. Catherine studied philosophy and has a postgraduate in marketing communication. Today she's engaged in interior design and online communication. Besides her professional work as a communication freelancer, she wants to undertake projects in which her passion for design, travel and the art of life converge. One of these projects is buttik.nu. Catherine traveled to Latin-America for five months in 2006. She documented the Nomadz-trip on her blog. Her travel fever hasn't dropped since.

Why listen to them?
Nomadz.nu is two thirty somethings' experiment in lifestyle design to try and live like digital nomads, traveling while working remotely. During 2010, Catherine and Ine made a trip around the world, to 3 countries in particular, and set foot in several others. They did all this while working, questioning the current life templates they grew up with, believing in one meme: Don't be rich, live rich! Catherine and Ine will teach you how to take clients and work projects with you on vacation, while meditating in a Thai Buddhist temple, savoring delicious wines in Argentina or driving a vintage car right next to the ocean in South Africa.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
