The disco toilet
Yes, really. Our famous disco toilet is worth a visit, even if you don't need to go.
The story behind Boei
Don't wait for a miracle, build one yourself
Boei is more than a coffee bar. It's the result of a personal journey by Julian de Mooij, founder of Happierdays.
Up in the air
As a kid I surprised my parents with homemade drinks and little notes. My dream of working on a plane came true: today I fly as a purser.
The Sparkle Factory
When covid grounded aviation, I didn't sit still. I started The Sparkle Factory: hospitality consultancy and on-site training, from private aviation to luxury brands.
A dark period
On paper everything was fine, until my body hit the brakes. A period of illness followed that lasted almost a year. What kept me going: a little self-drawn book, Reddingsboeiend
.
The feelgood quote board
From a few pallets I built a board for the centre of Alphen: Leave your bright spot here for someone else.
A day later it was full. More boards followed, and the project got a name: Happierdays.
Food truck & Cozy Barn
An old horse trailer became a feelgood barista truck, named after my little book: Boei. Then came movie nights among the hay bales in The Cozy Barn.
The bridge keeper's house
A ten-minute pitch was enough. After months of negotiating and a major renovation, Boei finally got a permanent home: by the water, in the heart of Alphen.
Stress less,Julian de Mooij
dream bigger.
