🌃Where can we typically find you on a week night?
When looking for me, your best chance is at the bouldering gym. Search for the loudest and most laughing group of people and I will be there. If I am not there, you can search for me at any of the infinite cultural events that constantly happen in Amsterdam.
👯♀️If we were to find you on the dance floor, what kind of music would be playing?
Latincore or 90s rave piano house are my favorites, but almost anything will do to make my body move.
🍜When we say FOOD, you say…
Life. Culture. Connection. Everything.
🗺Life quest?
Being my most authentic self.
🩰If you were a shoe, what would it look like?
Something comfy that can be worn in almost all situations, from a casual easy hike to meeting your partner’s parents (hopefully this applies to all genders), like blundstone boots.
🧓What's something your grandparent doesn't think is a job, but you'd like to get paid for?
Chatting with old people.
🎙What do you bring to The Outspoken Native?
Naivety, listening and self-criticism, all of them from the perspective of the receptor of all privileges that currently exist in society (de zeven vinkjes).
🧐What's something unpopular that you believe?
Pedestrians at Amsterdam’s ferry should be at the back so that the people on bikes can get out first, instead of having to walk behind the pedestrians until they make space for cyclists to start pedalling. Also, at zebra crossings, bikes should not stop for pedestrians (with some few exceptions, like for old/handicapped people or when the stream of bikes just does not stop during rush hour)
I hope my parents don’t think I am capable of saving the world.
My parents hope that I will be capable of taking care of them when they grow old.
Ponder at the meaning of EVERYTHING
