About

My name is Juliette, I am a Dutch girl who grew up in Italy.

In the beginning of 2012 I decided to move to the Netherlands for various reasons including wanting to get to know my culture and origins.

I have the biggest passions for languages. I was raised speaking Dutch with my parents and Italian with everyone else, I have a BA in English and German language and culture, and I studied French for twelve years. If language is the topic of a conversation my heart literally starts pounding, I often reflect about language, analyze linguistic choices and varieties, etc

Photography has always been part of my life. I have been fascinated by photography since I was about 7 years old, when my mum gave me her camera and I started taking random pictures.  When I graduated high school my parents gave me a bridge camera to start experimenting with digital photography and when I graduated from university I received a Canon 600d from them, the camera I still use and carry around everywhere I go. (see my photos here)

A healthy lifestyle is one of the priorities in my life: it’s a process, I will never stop having troubles every now and then, failing and learning. I love food, especially when I know exactly where it comes from (my mum’s garden is my favourite shop), I enjoy baking my own bread, cooking simple dishes, mostly with a Mediterranean (and lately also oriental) influence, and eating lots of fruit. I am a vegetarian (no meat, nor fish). Also working out and going to the gym is starting to become part of my routine. Of course, life is not only about health; it is also about fun (on the same priority level I would say): every now and then I have a glass of wine or five and end up lying in bed the whole following day with the worst headache.
