The first time I portrayed you was in my studio in 2019, and now you live in Dubai. Tell us about this latest adeveture.

Yessss, how bizarre right? That so much can happen and change in such a short space of time. In those days I was living in Breda in the Netherlands, and look at me now, living in Dubai for nearly nine months! My husband has worked in the oil and gas industry for many years. Partly triggered by the Covid19/Corona crisis, the company he works for decided to implement a re-organization. Everything started to pick up speed half way through 2020, resulting in us moving as a family to live in Dubai. His actual job is in neighboring Iraq, but he flies back and forth from the UAE every couple of weeks. I’d been to Dubai a few times before so I knew it would be a good place to stay. The decision to live here on a more permanent basis for a couple of years, sounded to me like a huge adventure, (especially during the lockdown period back home) and much too good to miss.

I’ve been following you on Instagram for some time now because of your passion for interior design. It felt almost like a home-coming when I came to your house during a visit to Dubai, it was all so familiar. So how did you manage to make such a smooth transition from the Netherlands?

Yes that was really lovely, and so special Dee, having the opportunity to welcome you into my new life, my new home and to enjoy your company again. Funny you said that, but the homely feeling you described from Instagram was spot on, because basically I just transferred what I had created in Breda – and with a new twist, adapted it to my current home in Dubai. We literally brought nearly all of our belongings with us. The rest is in storage in the Netherlands until we return.

After having been posted abroad before in Asia for nearly four years, I knew exactly what to expect regarding the stress and strain that’s associated with upping-sticks to a new country. I was ahead of the game, scouring estate-agents’ websites to find a suitable house for us all. I quickly found one. It was lovely, relatively new and modern, with a garden, a swimming pool and within cycling distance of the beach. I could see us all living there very nicely for a couple of years. I was already deciding the best place for each piece of furniture in my head. By the time the removal company actually came with their container for all of our gear, I had sorted out my master plan. After that, everything just took off like a rollercoaster. Within a day we’d sold our house, then the movers arrived with their van to pack up our last bits and pieces – our container was by this time far out at sea – and before we knew it, on September 1st 2020, we were on a plane, direction Dubai. Due to the craziness that’s Corona, there were none of the usual farewell celebrations with friends and family. Instead, we just upped and left!!
