About me
My name is Marit, and I am a program secretary for the renovation of the Palace of Justice in The Hague. I moved to The Hague to study in 2016 and I have recently obtained my second master's in Asian Studies. Therefore, I am interested in East Asian culture. I like to cook, I love to watch series (especially Korean and Chinese ones). I enjoy walking or cycling through the city and I love to have drinks with my friends.
Why The Hague?
I really enjoy living in The Hague. I would describe it as the perfect city as there is history, nature, and culture. You can find every type of cuisine, many different stores, important historical buildings, the beach, parks and so on. It is convenient to move around in, as there are many public transport options, like trams and buses, but it is also really doable by bike or foot. The city also keeps surprising you, if you are willing to be surprised by it, my advice is to take different routes and wander into new areas.
After you place your order, you can watch the crepe being prepared at the counter, which is interesting to see. And the portion sizes are very generous...

When looking through the window you can see people rushing by, but inside the store it is quiet and customers take their time to browse through the books.

The menu includes different types of milk tea, fruit tea, matcha lattes, and coffee. They also serve seasonal drinks and croffles (a type of Korean waffle with either sweet or savory toppings).

The views are sensational, as you are surrounded by water and the sun sets into the sea. It is quiet and there are usually some other people who are enjoying the sunset or fishing in the harbor.

When you walk around the Park Belvedere it feels like you are in the middle of the dunes, because of the rolling landscape and the trees.

Another of my favorite places to visit during a stroll through Scheveningen is the Meteotoren, a sensational viewpoint that offers a 360-degree view of many different sights of The Hague.
