Perhaps you lost it for a while, like so many of us do at times. We know one thing for sure though, and that is you never truly lost it: your magical open-mindedness. Just skip all the planning and the top tens of must-sees and dos. Instead, enter a magical state of mind where your confidence skyrockets to such a level, you could easily take on the world. Now take your travel guide, cut it into confetti and let the journey unfold naturally. This way, any discovery is guaranteed to trigger a WOW moment. And that feels off the charts amazing. We promise.

WakaWaka is an award-winning social enterprise that develops, manufactures and markets the world’s most efficient solar lamps and chargers. Our mission is to share the abundant power of the sun with more than a billion people worldwide who don’t have the luxury of a light switch and another billion who don’t have reliable access. WakaWaka’s safe, sustainable and clean solar solutions serve both developed and developing countries: the same premium, high-quality products for all markets. Through our line of portable solar products crafted from world-famous Dutch design, WakaWaka (which means “shine bright” in Swahili) provides an abundant and reliable alternative to kerosene. Kerosene, the most frequently used substitute for those living without access to electricity, comes at a high cost to health and pocketbook: It is highly flammable, toxic and associated with a host of serious health problems. Our products have empowered more than a million people, boosting family and community health, and providing families with longer productive hours during which to work, study, eat and pray. As a global social enterprise, WakaWaka has leveraged the high demand for its products to maximize impact by instituting a Share the Sun model: Buy a WakaWaka and you also share the sun with someone without access to electricity.

Met Peerby kun je de dingen die je nodig hebt lenen en huren van mensen uit je buurt.Waarom veel geld uitgeven aan dingen die je maar af en toe nodig hebt? Peerby.com is 's werelds eerste peer-to-peer-deelplatform dat actief aanbod creëert door rond te vragen via Facebook, pushberichten en e-mail. // Peerby enables you to borrow and rent the things you need from people in your neighborhood. Why spend hundreds of dollars on things you only need once or once in a while? Imagine an ordinary street with the homes of roughly 100 families. Try to imagine how many durable consumer goods are kept in all these houses: power tools, lawn mowers, barbecues, sports gear, camping equipment, bikes, cars, motor cycles, etc. What would happen if we could make these products easily accessible to all the people in this neighborhood? Doe these people really need a hundred lawn mowers? Wouldn't five be enough? Peerby.com is the world's first peer-to-peer sharing platform that actively creates supply by asking around through Facebook, push notification and e-mail.
