Restaurant Rotonde – Organic + Wood + Fire

Leuvehoofd – My favorite view

The placement of benches invites you to sit back and savour the unique atmosphere of what I (firmly) believe is the only 'real' city in the Netherlands.

About me

I was born in Rotterdam but raised in different cities in the Netherlands. In 2020, I moved back to Rotterdam. On weekdays, I am a teacher at the University of Applied Sciences. I find peace in long city walks with my dog and enjoy discovering new places while wandering around the city. I love to divide my free time between peaceful green spots and vibrant, crowded places. Additionally, I love to cook, get fresh ingredients on the market, go out for drinks or coffee, or discover new flavours in restaurants.

To me, Rotterdam is one of the true cities of the Netherlands. It's a vibrant, multicultural, and creatively charged urban hub that captivates from every angle. The city wears its history with a unique grace, and the scars of WWII remain visible in its remade landscape. The bombing created a canvas for modern architecture, turning devastation into an opportunity for reinvention. Historic neighbourhoods may have been lost, but a cityscape of resilience and a relentless spirit arose.

The people, fondly known as 'Rotterdammers,' embody the city's character—hardworking, honest, and overflowing with pride. Beyond its resilient spirit, Rotterdam offers a diverse array of attractions. Nature spots provide serene escapes within the city's dynamic heart. The culinary scene is a treat, with many restaurants, bars, and coffee shops, each a unique gem waiting to be discovered.
