Welcome to Ramon Stoppelenburg’s Expedition Kilimanjaro
Who is Ramon Stoppelenburg?
Ramon Stoppelenburg was born in The Netherlands and grew up in Jakarta, Indonesia, where his love for travel began. His journey as a globetrotter started as a journalism student, traveling the world for free through his website Letmestayforaday.com, which led to a book (published in Dutch) in 2004. In 2017, this project was recognized as UNESCO Digital Heritage.
Ramon’s diverse career includes writing for various international publications, advising businesses on how to improve in the digital world and beyond, and being an emergency crisis manager with the Indonesian army. He also hosted a weekly travel show Weg met BNN on Dutch public radio NPO Radio 1.
As a freelancer in marketing and media, Ramon worked with prestigious clients such as NRC (Dutch newspaper), the Travel Channel, The Guardian, WorldHum, ANWB, Transavia, DHL, Columbus Travel, and many others.
From 2011 to 2022, he lived in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where he successfully ran three art house film theaters. The pandemic and political changes ended this chapter, leading him to new adventures.
After a brief stint running a cupcakery in Tbilisi, Ramon moved to Casablanca before settling in Lisbon, Portugal.
Since June 2008, Ramon has been regularly climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, sharing his passion and expertise with fellow adventurers. His extensive experience ensures a memorable and safe expedition to Africa’s highest peak.
You get the idea: he doesn’t like to sit still.
But it was back in June 2008 when he first climbed Kilimanjaro himself. He felt that such a climb should be doable by anyone (with a bit of fitness). Expedition Kilimanjaro was born!
Since then, he has been up the mountain with many groups, building a great team of professional and reliable guides, porters and chefs. This team is always ready for another Expedition Kilimanjaro.
