José Fiallo builds places people say can’t be built.The Dutch-Colombian founder of DriftDwells and tech studio WASOE turned a goat-trail hillside into Bulgaria’s #1 Airbnb, distilled that success into an eight-step Ecosystem Design, and is now scaling it through The Valley—a multi-phase eco-resort of cabins, trails, and hidden hammocks crafted around guest-journey psychology. Blending code, design, and hard numbers, he shows how embracing quirks can outperform even prime-location real estate.
Bulgaria’s #1-ranked Airbnb started as “unusable” land at the end of a 3 km goat trail. I’ll break down the 8-step Ecosystem Design that turned that flaw into a feature—and pushed occupancy to 97 % year around. You’ll leave with a plug-and-play playbook to replicate the same magic on any property.
