Charis Rooda is a Dutch web developer and conference organiser. A few years ago she moved from The Netherlands, where she had a pretty successful freelance career, to Hong Kong. Of course we talk about the move. Why did she move? And why Hong Kong?
In Hong Kong when you have a lot of money you can always have more money. While in Europe when you have a lot of money you can have more free time
We talk about the differences between Hong Kong and The Netherlands, both personally and professionally. We talk about organising a completely new conference in Hong Kong, which turns out to be completely different than co-organising an already succecful conference in The Netherlands. And we talk about the work she's been doing for Smashing Conf lately. Among many other things.
