Exploring new countries and cultures, enjoying local food, spending time in beautiful nature, meeting new people,… My girlfriend and I have always loved to travel.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, society usually sees travel as an escape from the daily grind. For months in a row you work a 9-5 job and then get a few weeks off to forget about the fact that you are spending most of your time between the same walls. A sober reality that wasn’t fulfilling our needs and dreams.<\/p>\n

Therefore, we decided to take the leap and try a lifestyle that involves both travel AND working: we give ourselves one year to become digital nomads and build our own email agency for ecommerce businesses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So contrary to popular belief, we are not on a holiday but we are working from abroad, while experiencing new environments, experiences and local cultures.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don\u2019t need to escape from.\u201d<\/i>
\n– Seth Godin –<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Introducing: Saluton<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As a freelancer, I noticed that I was mostly hired to work on small, one-off projects instead of – what I really love to do – working on a strategic level, building up or finetuning email marketing programs for ecommerce websites.<\/p>\n

That’s why I decided to reposition my business. <\/strong>No more ‘PJ the email guy’. Instead we proudly announce our email agency ‘Saluton’!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Logo<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Saluton will be operated remotely<\/strong> by myself and my girlfriend Babs. We will work together with an international team of email marketing professionals to design and build awesome email solutions for ecommerce businesses.<\/p>\n

So what’s next?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Setting up an agency structure is a lot<\/span> of work. Currently, I am finishing the transition of my website while updating my services. Once this is done, I will start finetuning the processes for client intakes and proposal writing.<\/p>\n

By the end of this month, I aim to have the basic agency foundation set up in place<\/strong>. Then, the real work can start: getting our first client projects.<\/p>\n

In addition, we will keep on documenting how this year will evolve<\/strong>. Curious about where we are or what is happening? You can follow us on instagram<\/a> or read more on the brand new blog of Babs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are more than excited to make this work and to prove that running a business while traveling and enjoying the world is possible. Let’s do this!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
