More details about my language interests
I (Nina) have a masters degree in translating in French, English and Spanish. I grew up in between cultures so it felt natural to me to study multiculturalism in university. I've also taught Dutch and French courses during 6 months in the Netherlands. I would love to learn a new language or teach a new language to someone. Languages are the key to connect with people and I want everybody to be able to access that. I (Maarten) have a Cambride degree in business English. I grew up with my aunt from Canada, so instead of dutch, English is more so my native language. I share the enthusiasm for languages and would love to learn new languages as well.

What else ...

I love horse ridding, reading books and learning new skills. I also like to cook for my friends and family. I'm trying to get better at making art so that is still a work in progress. I love to learn about cultures and the way people do things. I really find it facinating. (nina)

I love to keep busy, I can hardly sit still for long periods of time. Cooking has always been my passion, from a young age I was already on the shoulders of chef's in professional kitchens learning what and how they do it. This really came forward in my work as a hospitality consultant for the Salvation Army where I was involved in guiding the participants back onto the job market through hospitality. (Maarten)
