We (my husband Emile ten Velde, 38 years, chemical engineer) and I (Marloes Uitdewilligen, 28 years, student chemical engineering) live in a nice little town in the east of the Netherlands. We like to walk (preferably with our dog) and meeting up with friends. We are both active with Scouting (youth movement).
