In 2022, we put in significant effort to enhance FerryGoGo. We revamped the website, introducing a fresh new look, and expanded our collection of routes. Moreover, we initiated the expansion of our photo database and began sharing ferry information on social media. To further elevate the quality of information on FerryGoGo, we’ve been collaborating with an increasing number of individuals. Currently, five people are directly involved, and we’ve also enlisted the support of several enthusiastic ferry bloggers. Consequently, as of now, FerryGoGo has become an independent venture in its own right.

On January 2nd, we embarked on an exciting journey of full-time website creation and investment, joining forces with Jochem Vroom and Jan Willem van Tilburg.
We embarked on an epic adventure with the family—a nearly 8-month journey filled with excitement. We traversed the United States from Florida to California in our trusty camper, hopped between picturesque islands in the Pacific, voyaged from New Zealand to Western Australia, delved into the wonders of Sri Lanka, indulged in ferry-hopping escapades among the Greek Islands, and finally, made our way back home.
In preparation for my sabbatical, I discovered a lack of comprehensive information about ferry routes. I wanted to book several ferry journeys in countries like New Zealand and Greece, but I struggled to find detailed route information. Even after extensive searching, I found the information quite limited when I finally figured out the routes. That’s when I decided to map out ferry routes and launched a website to display them: FerryGoGo.
After a fulfilling journey with Imbull and an additional two years at the Global Savings Group, it was time for a new chapter!
That began with some relaxation and quality time with the family, but soon enough, I had found a new endeavor.
In the final phase of my studies, I collaborated with Jochem Vroom to create various websites. This endeavor gave rise to the startup Imbull, which became the market leader in online discounts and coupon codes in the Netherlands through websites like kortingscode.nl and Actiecode.nl. We expanded this concept to over 20 countries. It was an enjoyable period when we worked diligently alongside a large group of young, ambitious (international) individuals from our office in the Oranjekerk in Amsterdam.
I conducted my master’s thesis at the drugstore Etos, a part of Ahold Delhaize. I investigated whether there could be improved shelf arrangements for the deodorant and sunscreen sections, as opposed to organizing them solely by brand. Would it not be more beneficial for decision speed and satisfaction to group, for instance, aftersun products together on the shelf? And does it make sense to place the roll-on deodorants together or not?
