Get to Know Us
We, the Flying Dutchies, (Marit, Hilde, and Anna-Lotte) are three Dutch friends who study together at University College Groningen, faculty of the Rijksuniversiteit. Marit and Hilde both study Psychology, and Anna-Lotte studies International Relations. The main thing that connects us is our love for adventure. We all love sports, music, and travelling (especially when it is without a plan!), and have thus far created many memories together, ranging from Christmas dinners to a trip to the Sziget festival in Budapest. This is why the moment we saw the flyer of this event on our campus, we knew it was a perfect opportunity for us and that we just had to sign up. We are all experienced travelers, are not afraid of a challenge, and most of all are ready to create some more amazing memories together!
About our team members - Hilde loves to do kickboxing, and she is therefore our guardian angel, protecting us all whenever we need it. Marit works in sales, which makes her the perfect negotiator, and we are confident that she will be able to get us some sweet deals for our Red Bulls! Lastly, Anna-Lotte travels by old school map everywhere she goes (really!), making her our navigator, and keeping us on the right track throughout the journey. Together we believe we have the perfect skills and qualities to not only make it back to Amsterdam but, because we are adventurous, spontaneous, good travel companions, and most of all motivated and dedicated, to also be the first ones to do so, or to at least experience the most adventures along the way! We make a great team, and so in short, yes: we CAN make it.
