About me
Carpe Diem and getting all I can out of this lifetime is my goal. Travel, see, experience, listen, taste and drink it all! My suitcase is always packed ready to go, my agenda flexible for adventures and my favourite answer to most "shall we" questions is “why not"? My great loves include travel, food, wine, gin, nature, boxing, fitness, shoes, music theatre, cooking, baking, museums, books, coffee and friends and family. I am an independent senior legal professional but don't hold that against me, lawyers are people too! I don't like getting bored which is why Rotterdam is the perfect city for me.
Why Rotterdam
Rotterdam is in my blood, literally! My Dutch roots are from this fascinating city and I have fond childhood memories visiting and exploring all it has to offer. Rotterdam is authentic, beautiful, multicultural, vibrant, raw, artsy, innovative and, since 2017, my home. The no-nonsense mindset, the easy smiles and down to earth attitude makes the Rotterdammer my kind of people. The magnificent architecture, street art, cocktail, foodie culture and that skyline! What is not to love?

"Little Italy" in Rotterdam is exactly like a deli of any Italian city. They even have ready-made meals like trout lasagne. Dessert is homemade tiramisu...

If, like me, coffee to you is life, then Harvest Café and Bakery will be your vibe. With beautiful views and a sleek design, it is a coffee lover's dream.

"30ml Rotterdam Centrum" is a little oasis on busy Nieuwe Binnenweg. Their coffees are caffeinated elixirs and their desserts & breakfast burritos perfect.

"Heilige Boontjes" in Rotterdam is a welcoming coffee shop that gives youngsters who've had problems with crime a second opportunity to get back on track.

I personally love the tiramisu, rocky road, lavender lemon, and the very berry. The double choco cookie regularly finds its way to my bag as well...

Freddy does things to chicken in an OG southern US way that is rarely done well. They have crunchy and juicy chicken, but even more, they have pazazz.
