About Me

I'm Nic, 27 years old and originally from a small town in Luxembourg! I've been living in the Netherlands for 5 years and just finished a year living and working Brussels, a city I will dearly miss ❤️ I am thus a true Benelux'er 🇱🇺🇧🇪🇳🇱

I did my Bachelor in European Studies in Amsterdam and my Master's, focussing on Sustainable Policy Making in Maastricht 🇪🇺🌱

I was very engaged in the Erasmus Student Network as a volunteer, both in my local section and in ESN The Netherlands. Afterwards, I was a trainee in the European Parliament for a Green MEP. Currently, I am travelling before finding a long-term job 😊

I listen to basically everything, my favourite is chill melodic techno or deep house 🎶 I love to read books about urban infrastructure design, especially when it comes to promoting cycling infrastructure and walkable cities 📚 Give me any Stuido Ghibli movie and I will be happy 🍿

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favourite experience was 2 weeks of horseback riding through the Mongolian Steppe while staying with local, nomadic families 🐎

I want to learn from different cultures, and listen to people with different interests! Life long learning is the way to go 🤞
