Work. Travel. Experiments.

CURRENTLY

What I’m working on, thinking about and testing right now.

01 / WORK

Building a different kind of working life.

After 20 years working across strategy, product, digital and communications, I’m exploring a model built around shorter projects, difficult problems and more control over where and how I work.

02 / SCOUT

What if AI made travel more interesting?

I’m experimenting with an AI travel companion that helps with the practical stuff — but also hunts for places, experiences and moments I probably wouldn’t otherwise find.

03 / THOMAS.INEXPLICABLY

Rebuilding at 42. In public, apparently.

I’m documenting the travel, experiments, questionable decisions and general confusion of figuring out what comes next.

LIFE CURRENTLY

I live in a van.

This escalated.

Petal is a Peugeot Boxer I built myself.
She was supposed to make travelling easier.
Somewhere along the way, travelling became the plan

ABOUT

So, Who is Thomas?

I’m a Belgian consultant, occasional surfer and enthusiastic starter of projects that probably seemed simpler at the beginning.

I’ve spent the last 20 years working across strategy, product, digital and communications in Brussels, London, Paris and Berlin.

In 2026, I packed up the life I’d built, got in Petal and drove around Europe for a while. That has raised considerably more questions than it answered.
I’m currently figuring out what comes next — work, travel, business, experiments and all.

Got something complicated?

Excellent.

Thomas Wouters — somewhere in Europe, probably.
