  Description

  Join Our Family in Beautiful Zaandam, Just Outside Amsterdam! 🇮🇹🇳🇱
  
  Ciao! I'm Gloria — Italian, 42, divorced, and working as a flight attendant (cabin manager and instructor). I live in a lovely house with a garden in Zaandam, a charming town near Amsterdam and the famous windmill village Zaanse Schans. It’s a peaceful, beautiful area, yet close to the beautiful capital of the Netherlands.
  
  I’m the proud mom of three wonderful kids:
  
  Maia (11) – thoughtful, sweet, and curious
  Zoë (6) – full of energy and creativity
  Noah (3) – our cheerful little explorer
  I work full-time in aviation, following a regular roster (usually 5 days on, 4+ days off). During the week, the children attend school and daycare.
