Hey 👋 I'm Peter, nice to meet you.

I created the first coworking and coliving space for digital nomads. It went well until it didn't. We closed it and I started to focus on building a productized service for companies that organize offsites.

This one went better and together with an amazing team I work on it on daily basis. We built a solid booking channel for hotels, I talk about it quite often in the Hotel Nuggets newsletter.

Around 2019 I started to play with an idea of building a coworking cabin. My plan was to operate hundreds of them across Europe. Then Covid came to say hello and I pivoted this project into Epic Monday - a site full of resources for people who are planning to start a glamping business.

Once I'm passionate about something, I deep dive into the topic, run tons of experiments and sometimes come with monetization ideas (not always, unfortunately).

Hoodpicker started as simple survey, then I created a tool to compare neighborhoods in Lisbon and now it's a set of tools for people who want to invest into real estate in Portugal.

I constantly research ideas that combine hospitality, real estate and tech. And share them in my personal newsletter. You can subscribe now:

Well done!

I don't like to have calls but happy to discuss your project over Linkedin or Twitter chat.

PS: If you live in Amsterdam, we can meet at the next Cowork& session or Travel Massive meetup.
