It’s the most exciting time to be working, self-employed, in a career-transition or side hustlin’.
Unlike the days when I started, when it was work, save, travel, return… sometimes to the drudgery and dread of a modern day dungeon (the humble cubicle). Not so any more.
I founded Saltwater after taking my job with me, and not wanting to be alone in an apartment. And a lot of research into ergonomic chairs, indoor plants and office feng shui. I’ve been involved in community events since I can recall. The Art of Gathering inspires me – and making conscious choices to the time we have – be it alone to focus, or in company, making meaningful connections. Everything we do is so you can get out and seize the opportunities in front of you.

We’re on break from December 2023 for the foreseeable future.

We’ve had a series of funded projects, including 3 EU projects and working with 5 cities and tourist boards. Plus, we’ve engaged close to 90 global speakers and destinations during our event run, which was born in Covid. It all started with Croatia’s first conference for digital nomads, which even got a mention in the Washington Post. Whether it’s Dubrovnik, Split, Zagreb … Tirana or Ljubljana – this part of Europe is an exciting and emerging spaces – are you part of the wave?
We’ve been funded by EU, city and tourist boards. We’ll get around to updating the full report, soon. Feel free to contact the 90 + speakers and destinations you may have seen at our events – they can attest to our ethos much better than we can.
