Today, I’ve officially become Dutch. I love this country!
I love it for its honest, direct, friendly people; livable cities built for humans; the fine balance of freedom, rules, and rationality; a happy, safe environment for kids; and wonderful bits of nature, well cared for.
I came to the Netherlands in 2020 to join Tesla in trailblazing the sustainable energy revolution. Before that, I’d run a business with the same mission (on a different scale;-) for five years and was headed to California when an interview invitation steered me here. Thanks, Tesla! I would never have learned how truly great it is here.
The Netherlands is my home. Now officially.
