Socially responsible entrepreneur

Today I had lunch with Freek, a former colleague of MSF Holland. We worked together in the HR team and during that period, Freek decided to start his sustainable travel agency, called "Multatuli" (named after a famous Dutch explorer). I am still proud of the fact that I was in a position to give Freek a little push to go that route. Later he sold his company and travelled for 7 months with his wife and three kids (at that moment ages 5, 7 and 10). Coming back in Amsterdam, it was his wife's turn to be the entrepreneur of the family and Freek ran the household for 7-8 years. The past decade he has been busy again with entrepreneurship from travel to cakes (based on the recipe of his baker father). Not sure if the sites are also in English, but they are www.beterplaces.nl and www.pieceoffreek.nl
