What do you prefer to do in your spare time?
“In the summer it is great to walk here. But in the winter it can be very cold, up to -45°C. In the winter months life goes on, it is quieter because there are almost no tourists. But even then we have a great time. We share In a curling competition or we go skiing, we’ll be on the slopes in no time. In the evening we go for a drink with friends or have a drink at the pub.”
What do you miss most about Holland?
“Our family and friends. But I also miss the rich history of the Netherlands, the wide cultural offering, beautiful museums, and theater and theater companies.”
