Good morning everyone! My name is Anouk
Segers and I will be taking over the Family Cake Company blog till the end of
June. So you are stuck with me for a while.
So a bit about me, I’m 19 years of age, I was
born on a little island called Aruba, lived there for 14 years. Aruba is
everything you would want for your ideal vacation, white sandy beaches,
beautiful blue ocean, and its always nice weather. People call me crazy for
leaving “paradise” but after a few years it gets (believe it or not) a bit
boring. I was ready for a change (as well as the fact that the educational
system wasn’t that great in Aruba at the time) and then I moved to the
Netherlands (no not Amsterdam). I moved to the “beautiful” city called Eindhoven,
where Philips was founded. Actually our football team just won the national
competition, so proud. Finished off my secondary education there and now I’m
doing my second year of International Business and Management Studies at Avans
University of Applied Sciences in Breda. They make you do a 6-month internship
in a foreign country so that is how I ended up here.
I really love London, it’s a great city and
so different from any other city I have ever lived in. Everyone is always busy
and you can really notice the fact that 8.3 million people live here, which is
like half of the entire population of the Netherlands. Once you do all of the
touristy things you start to feel like a real Londoner, even though I’m not
really, I like to pretend I am and get annoyed by all the tourists in the underground
hehe.
Anyway enough about me, I’m looking forward
to gaining more experience at the Family Cake Company, on my first day I got a nice
image of the company and the people in it. I will be continuing on where the
previous intern left off so no need to worry!
Speak soon!
