As a born and raised Valencian, it's been an honor to have Ramon on a public bench. The city he grew up in, has changed a lot over several decades. As a former activist and current Director of Placemaking Europe, it's his mission to create the right balance between people and the city.

He's been a globetrotter for the last 8 years and has lived in multiple places thus far, but he can only recall a few that have a heart. Together with his wife and son, they decided that Valencia would be the place for their new family and meaningful NGO which they run together. A place with a heart and a quality of life.I hope you'll enjoy this wonderful conversation in the beautiful sun of this amazing city. #goodplace

At first Amsterdam, but they settled in The Hague, alongside her kids, 5,5 years ago. A wonderful conversation about how to raise kids in a different culture without neglecting where you're from. And a lot of more interesting topics. Thanks Izumi!
