Welcome Mandy!
We would like to introduce a new member of our team! Please welcome Mandy! We have asked Mandy a few questions to get to know her even better! So tell us, WHO is Mandy?I'm 25 years old, I love to make music, travelling, visiting concerts and festivals, binge-watching my favourite TV shows and I'm especially fond of cats. I love to explore nature - tall mountains, deep fjords, long hikes. I'm very interested in different cultures and languages, especially American and French. As part of my International Leisure Management studies, I've completed a marketing major in the US (St. Louis to be precise), which sparked my interest for the country.What have you seen of the world so far and which country is on top of your bucket list?When it comes to travelling, you could say that I'm a late bloomer. My first flight wasn't until I was 20! I went to Canada, by myself, and I loved it. After that, I decided to fit in as much 'adventure time' as possible, which brought me to the US, Australia, Malaysia, Norway, Poland, France and a few more European countries. At this point, my bucket list is still pretty long, but Iceland (northern lights!), South Africa, Japan and New Zealand are definitely up high. But my number one priority would be to go back to the US and Canada.What has been your most remarkable experience in the USI've absolutely loved my time there and made some friends who I still see on a regular basis. It's really hard to pinpoint one particular experience, but I remember when my new-found friends and I went to New York for our fall break. The first time we went to Times Square, on a Saturday night, it was breathtaking.There's so much hustle and bustle going on, the pictures I had seen didn't do it justice. It's something everyone has to experience at least once in their lives. Read more >
Welcome Evelyn!
Great news! We have a new team member! We would like to introduce Evelyn! She has joined our placement management team and she is really looking forward to getting started. We decided to ask Evelyn some questions: So tell us, WHO is Evelyn?I am a 25-year-old girl born and raised in Groningen and currently living in Amsterdam. My two greatest passions in life are sports and travelling. My interest in people and the world around me may be triggered by the Croatian blood running through my veins since my grandmother is Croatian. My passion for sports started when I was a young girl and since then I have been involved in many different sports such as gymnastics, horseback riding, soccer, tennis, snowboarding, mountain biking, footvolley and hopefully many more to come! What have you seen of the world so far and which country is on top of your bucket list?I have visited most countries in Europe, but of course, there are still lots of great places to be discovered! After my high school graduation, I travelled with a camper van through Australia and New-Zealand with one of my friends and we had the time of our lives! We drove through amazing scenery and met people from all over the world. Outside of Europe, I've also been to Iceland and America. There are so many countries left for me to discover, but for now on the top of my bucket list are, India, Argentina, and Indonesia. What has been your most remarkable experience in the USA?Actually, I have had multiple remarkable experiences in the USA. One of them was standing on top of the Rockefeller Center with a breathtaking view over New York! We started looking out at the city in the afternoon and stayed to watch the sunset. The view over the big apple changed so many times that it didn't even feel real. I also loved the rooftop farmland which I visited in Brooklyn. This location is used for educational programs to help children learn them that vegetables are not manufactured in a factory but actually grown on farmland. Overall, I just loved the enthusiasm of the Americans! Read more >
