WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:09.530 --> 00:00:12.103 It’s important to me to always wake up in new places, ... 00:00:12.103 --> 00:00:14.212 ...drink coffee in beautiful surroundings... 00:00:14.212 --> 00:00:19.177 ...and to be at one with nature. To be part of the flow and adjust my life to what's around me. 00:00:19.737 --> 00:00:22.227 And that’s exactly what this bus lets me do. 00:00:37.987 --> 00:00:43.198 Hello! I’m Thomas. And this is my Swiss Army Knife on wheels. Let's have a look! 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.627 This is a Setra S140. A 1983 model. 00:00:52.627 --> 00:00:55.392 And it used to be deployed in Flensburg, it was Flensburg’s mobile library... 00:00:55.392 --> 00:01:00.603 ...and it is quite striking in that it is a little shorter than a city bus, but taller. 00:01:01.962 --> 00:01:03.892 This means that it gives me the feeling of having a huge amount of space inside, ... 00:01:03.892 --> 00:01:07.564 ...with some light at the top of the aisle, so I always benefit from daylight all day long, ... 00:01:07.564 --> 00:01:11.709 ...even if I have closed the blinds to the outside to give myself some privacy. 00:01:20.662 --> 00:01:27.580 Today, it’s ultimately a vehicle that gives me the freedom to work from anywhere and live wherever it’s nice. 00:01:35.403 --> 00:01:41.601 I am a consultant specialising in remote working and have advised large corporations. At one point I asked myself how familiar I actually was with working remotely? 00:01:41.601 --> 00:01:48.064 I sell the technology, but I wanted to develop in the direction of the people who actually do it. 00:01:48.064 --> 00:01:54.785 And I really learned a lot, yet I have created my own interpretation of a digital nomad here. 00:01:55.118 --> 00:01:59.380 And this bus is ultimately the escalation of working remotely. 00:01:59.380 --> 00:02:06.262 Right now I’m renting it out within the industry to demonstrate to people, as well as encourage and inspire them, ... 00:02:06.262 --> 00:02:10.194 ...how they can live differently, work differently and otherwise be mobile. 00:02:10.194 --> 00:02:11.920 In other words, a kind of transformation. 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:17.176 The bus moves people, attracts people, motivates people to rethink and rethink again. 00:02:17.176 --> 00:02:20.109 That is exactly what I am offering with an eye on culture change. 00:02:24.532 --> 00:02:26.389 The bus is a genuine boardroom on wheels. 00:02:26.389 --> 00:02:34.720 There are all kinds of Internet connectivity on board, as well as all types of cloud computing, video conferencing and podcasts as well as a streaming studio. 00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:39.177 So, I can use guerilla tactics to put on trade fairs, road shows and hybrid conferences. 00:02:47.610 --> 00:02:50.189 This vehicle is one of a kind, there is no other like it on the entire planet. 00:02:50.189 --> 00:02:54.067 Interestingly, I didn't even plan to create it, it just happened gradually. 00:02:55.626 --> 00:02:57.649 I saw the bus. I fell in love with it right away. 00:02:57.649 --> 00:03:01.994 And it has been in development for the past five years. Week after week. Month after month. 00:03:01.994 --> 00:03:05.513 And now I have stamped my mark on it, so that it has really become my home now. 00:03:06.179 --> 00:03:11.083 I've got all my sports gear on board that I need, so it's a bit like a man cave. 00:03:14.707 --> 00:03:19.872 The highlight of the bus is the outdoor kitchen. I use it to cook al fresco every day. 00:03:19.872 --> 00:03:24.270 I feel like I’m at home in a cocoon right here on this bus. And in the most beautiful places. 00:03:27.174 --> 00:03:34.601 I don't feel I'm alone on the bus, with the mobile connectivity I can travel about, and I've made friends along the way in various regions. 00:03:34.601 --> 00:03:36.601 Whether that's in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg or Hamburg. 00:03:37.387 --> 00:03:41.117 What makes this life special are the experiences I have every day. 00:03:41.543 --> 00:03:48.645 The people I meet, the situations that arise, the changes and the different perspectives you gain, on your own and through others. 00:03:48.645 --> 00:03:51.769 That’s what motivates me. And it's the bus that gives me the opportunity. 00:03:51.769 --> 00:03:53.935 And it suits me just fine.
