MARIE'S BLOG

HI! I AM MARIE!

I am 22 years old and from Germany.

In January 2018 I moved to Leeuwarden, the Netherlands to start with my studies in "International Business and Management" at NHL Stenden. This was the first time living by myself as well as in a different country than Germany. I believe this helped my become independent and a team player as I lived with five other students in one house during my first year at NHL Stenden.

In my free time I like to be outdoors as my hobbies inlcude horse riding and survival training. I like these two sports because you have to believe in yourself and have the confidence that you can overcome the obstacles that are in your way. I also like to take on new challenges and dare to be bad at something new.
