Barrio | Calle de la Comunidad

As the world becomes increasingly digital, the concept of community is becoming more important than ever. Countries such as the Netherlands have long understood the value of strong local communities—not only as social structures, but as foundations for trust, well-being, and sustainable living.

Barrio is a next-generation community platform designed to bring this understanding into the digital age. Starting at the neighborhood level, Barrio enables people to form real, structured, and meaningful communities where they can connect, communicate, and act together.

The app provides a clearly defined and moderated environment where members can openly share and discuss topics that matter to their daily lives, including:

Everyday concerns and challenges
Happiness, positive moments, and good news
Disagreements and differing opinions
Local updates, weather information, and announcements
Mutual support, collaboration, and collective decision-making

Unlike traditional social media platforms, Barrio is not built around noise, algorithms, or anonymous interactions. Instead, it is designed around boundaries, respect, and shared responsibility, allowing people to speak freely within a safe and structured framework.

Barrio’s core philosophy is simple:
Communities thrive when people feel heard, respected, and empowered to move together.

By encouraging constructive dialogue and collective action, Barrio aims to strengthen real-world relationships through a digital layer, not replace them. The platform is built to reduce social fragmentation and help people rediscover the value of neighborhood-level collaboration in a modern, scalable way.

Details regarding the platform’s feature set, growth strategy, and monetization model will be shared with our investors in the upcoming phase.

Boat BnB & Floating Hostel Ventures: A Profitable, Residency-Backed Opportunity in the Netherlands

Unusual Consulting offers a one-of-a-kind investment and lifestyle opportunity: converting traditional boats and workboats into fully operational floating BnBs, hostels, or boutique hotels — strategically positioned across cities and towns in the Netherlands.

With its vast network of canals and a booming tourism industry, the Netherlands is the perfect environment for alternative hospitality experiences. These boat-based accommodations offer travelers something truly unique while generating consistent cash flow for the owner. By operating as registered businesses, they not only pay taxes and contribute to the Dutch economy but also create a legal pathway for owners to obtain Dutch residency through entrepreneurship.

Our expert team guides you through the entire process — from concept creation and boat sourcing to architectural planning, municipal permissions (gemeente ligplaatsvergunning), and full company setup. We ensure your floating BnB meets all hospitality, safety, and tax regulations, allowing you to operate legally and profitably.

Whether you’re looking to launch a single floating BnB in Amsterdam or a chain of boat-hostels across Dutch cities, Unusual Consulting handles everything — including business plans, financial projections, permit applications, and marketing strategy.

This is more than a business; it’s a lifestyle investment that combines tourism, sustainability, profit, and a new life in the Netherlands.
