Hello, I'm Marie. I'm passionate about staying active, whether it's hitting the gym or going for a run. Originally from Amsterdam, I now call Barcelona home, and I've embraced the digital nomad lifestyle. In my free time, I enjoy whipping up delicious dishes as a hobby chef and have a decent knowledge of wine. I'm quite organized and always curate a list of great dining spots on my Google Maps. If you're looking for recommendations on the best local restaurants, I'm your go-to person. I love meeting new people and engaging in meaningful conversations, but I also enjoy some good-natured sarcasm and not taking life too seriously. I may ask a lot of questions, but you free to answer what you want.

One day I will live on an island, I don’t know which one yet but Madeira is high on my list.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking. Like to discover new food and tastes. Open for trying different kitchens like Vegan. I did some wine courses and love to learn more by going on wine trips. Been to wineries in Australia, Mosel, Elzas, Champagne (Reims), Penedès, Prosecco area, Chianti, UK and Mallorca.
