Welcome Evelyn!
Great news! We have a new team member!
We would like to introduce Evelyn! She has joined our placement management team and she is really looking forward to getting started. We decided to ask Evelyn some questions:
So tell us, WHO is Evelyn?
I am a 25-year-old girl born and raised in Groningen and currently living in Amsterdam. My two greatest passions in life are sports and travelling. My interest in people and the world around me may be triggered by the Croatian blood running through my veins since my grandmother is Croatian. My passion for sports started when I was a young girl and since then I have been involved in many different sports such as gymnastics, horseback riding, soccer, tennis, snowboarding, mountain biking, footvolley and hopefully many more to come!
What have you seen of the world so far and which country is on top of your bucket list?
I have visited most countries in Europe, but of course, there are still lots of great places to be discovered! After my high school graduation, I travelled with a camper van through Australia and New-Zealand with one of my friends and we had the time of our lives! We drove through amazing scenery and met people from all over the world. Outside of Europe, I've also been to Iceland and America. There are so many countries left for me to discover, but for now on the top of my bucket list are, India, Argentina, and Indonesia.
What has been your most remarkable experience in the USA?
Actually, I have had multiple remarkable experiences in the USA. One of them was standing on top of the Rockefeller Center with a breathtaking view over New York! We started looking out at the city in the afternoon and stayed to watch the sunset. The view over the big apple changed so many times that it didn't even feel real. I also loved the rooftop farmland which I visited in Brooklyn. This location is used for educational programs to help children learn them that vegetables are not manufactured in a factory but actually grown on farmland. Overall, I just loved the enthusiasm of the Americans!
