14/80 — The Culture Canvas

Last time I was in Cape Town, South Africa, I had a blast.

I sold treadmill desks, gave physical education on a high school in an area I was told not to go, and hiked up three mountains in one day for charity, collecting 2000,- euro in the process...

I also got invited by the Dutch Consulate General for a cup of coffee. She asked me to help execute and idea to connect five Dutch entrepreneurs to five startups in Cape Town. The goal: Share ideas and knowledge, and work on five (local) business challenges for 10 days.

And so I did, while staying in the private residence of the Consul General for three days, taking couchsurfing up a level.
