Professional Background
I'm working in social media since 2006.
I started in the industry as a business developer on a pan European level. First for virtual world Taatu.com (+ 1 million users) and later for social network Netlog.com (+ 70 million users). I worked closely with A-Brands, Advertising, Sales & Media Agencies in Brussels, Amsterdam and London.
After my years as a business developer I started working as a consultant. I help companies, brands and advertising agencies deal with the ever changing social media landscape.

As The Social Traveler I practice what I preach
Basically people follow and shape my social travel adventure as it happens via social networks and in real life.
In a few years a community of +12.000 friends and followers formed over a variety of social networks: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, Tumblr, Foursquare, Instagram & Pinterest.
The entire community grew organically. Most people found out about this project via their friends and/or followers. I never used any form of advertising and people didn't find out about me via search since I just start to blog about my adventures now.
On a daily basis I deal with social networks and their ever changing communities and features.
Working around the world
In my role as a consultant I want to work in different cities around the world. By now I worked in Ghent (AGX), Brussels, Melbourne (Working Three), Sydney (Pollenizer), from Bali and currently I'm working from Berlin for an Australian client.
I still have room for a few more projects so if you know people that could use some help tackling social media for their brand or company please do get in touch via the comments below or via one of the social networks I use.
20% goes to charity
Now I pledge to visit the projects along my trajectory, bring attention to it and donate 20% of what I earn from consultancy work that I receive via my 'The Social Traveler' network.

“Bjorn is a real pioneer in social media. I have been so impressed with his projects and innovative ways of building audiences that really engage on a deep level. I have found him to be a very astute and intelligent guy and I know he will be a real asset wherever he applies his talent. Highly recommended.”
“Bjorn has no doubt been one of the most interesting 'social media' personalities that I follow on many platforms. Be it Twitter, Facebook, Google+ or any other popular social networking arena Bjorn knows exactly how to keep things social and get the crowd engaged! Being a "social traveler" must be no doubt be a challenging experience - especially when you travel on a shoestring budget, depending hugely on the goodwill of people of the world. But Bjorn's adventures have been nothing but fascinating and have taught us to have more faith in humanity and kindness of strangers. I wish Bjorn great success in his social media related travels and hope he will continue to be the 'social traveler' he is, for many years to come - no matter what he does. And I will most definitely continue to follow him :)”
“Bjorn is a great digital consultant. He combines advanced knowledge of the industry with a natural talent for good communication. And, in my opinion the most important skill to have, Bjorn breathes positive energy in anything he does. Highly recommended!”
“Bjorn is a passionate and extremely creative person. I have been following his social travel project 'The Social Traveler' as well as his previous projects for 7th Sense events organization such as "Fabulous". Definitely a person that can boost company's social media presence.”

Michel Grignet, COO at TAATU, Belgium
"Bjorn is a very creative person, proposes inventive solutions and continuously seeks for original, clever approaches. He loves Web 2.0 and Internet and monitors everything about Social Media since more than 5 years. He is very social himself and rapidly developed a good professional network around him."
“I met Bjorn 3 years ago and he always had a big passion for traveling. I’ve always known that he wasn’t going to stay in Belgium. When the time was right, he decided to leave his country and make his social travel project come true. I’ve been following his travel stories and adventures since the beginning. The way he combines his two big passions, travel and social media, is a true inspiration for everybody. Bjorn grew a community with loads of fun stories and useful information for everybody who loves to travel.”
“I met Bjorn as "The Social Traveler" after viewing a youtube video through his Channel. His passion for travel and supporting local charities through social media is inspiring. With his “Be Social” message, Bjorn manages to connect, engage and build relationships from all over the world and his positive outlook on life is definitely contagious. Hopefully a business opportunity will unfold so I can have the pleasure of working with Bjorn as I consider him to be a well versed Digital Consultant. Certainly an asset to work with such a wonderful person.”
“If I had to hire a social media specialist, Bjorn would definitely be my top choice!”
“I first heard of Bjorn on Google+ where he was organising a local hangout in my hometown of Sydney. His use of social media and unique story intrigued me, so I set up an interview at a later date. The man I met was everything his social media presence suggested; intelligent, charismatic and friendly. Over the past year I've watched Bjorn's travels with interest, going so far as to use his journey as a case study for one of my university subjects. There is no doubt in my mind that Bjorn is the perfect choice for any job in social media.”
“I had the pleasure to work with Bjorn and I always appreciated his high skills and his professional approach with both customers and suppliers. Outstanding his knowledge of all internet related disciplines/businesses”
+Michelle Rowan, Freelance startup consultant, Australia
“Bjorn brings great energy and enthusiasm to his work. His unique, inquisitive approach combined with a sunny disposition would be a great asset to any company. Whilst I didn't work directly with Bjorn, all reports deemed him professional and reliable, whilst brining a new perspective to the tasks at hand. I look forward to working with Bjorn in the near future, somewhere along our travels!”
