INTERVIEW WITH OLIVER BOND  DURING HIS VISIT AT BALI HEADQUARTERS

Hi Oliver, you are a big hammock lover, and you have been in the business for a long time. 

There was a particular reason for you to decide to make your living from hammocks? 

I always considered myself about average size but yes I have been in the hammock business for a long time which makes me quite old.  I originally started selling hammocks because I thought that the TTTM hammocks were so cool and I wanted to be involved. After a while when I started thinking about my career I realized that if you have to go to work every day it's a good idea to have a hammock nearby.

For how long have you been sharing the hammock vibe in Ireland and U.K?

And thanks to your experience, do you consider those two islands a good destination to go hammocking? Where would it be the best for you to put a hammock up in Ireland and in UK? 

I sold my first Ticket to the moon hammock in Ireland in 1999 and I quickly found that people love these hammocks and it's a very satisfying experience selling to people who are so happy with their purchase.  The positive feedback and repeat customers I get every year makes my working life quite enjoyable.  Are Ireland and the UK a good destination for hammocking?  Ah, c'mon, have you seen the weather here? The very best place I have a hammock in my own home is in the glass-house. Lovely.

As a member of the Ticket To The Moon Tribe, how was your visit in Indonesia at the Headquarters?

The discovery of Ticket to the moon foundation? How do you see TTTM in 10 years from now? Which hammock is your favorite size and why? Any particular colors? 

What I found so wonderful about my recent trip to Bali headquarters was how fantastically the company has grown up in the last few years. The new factory is amazing and I'm really glad to see so many new staff members working on new innovations, the company is truly booming and coming of age.  It's a very exciting time to be involved with TTTM.

The foundation in Sumba is excellent example of how the CEO Charly looks at the big picture. It's nice to think that some of the money my company spends with TTTM every year ends up doing good for the disadvantaged people of the village in Sumba. 

I can see TTTM continuing to grow and to become recognized as a global brand. After all, they are the best hammocks in the world.

My favorite hammock is the one in the shade on a hot day with the sound of the sea and not much else except a cold beer. Colors aren't that important to me but I was never that keen on the one that looks like baby sick.

Thank you for your time and If anymore comments, feel free to share them to us!

I feel lucky to be part of the TTTM tribe and look forward to many more years in hammocks. 

Thank you!
