'I always laugh because of the way the Dutch sing their goodbyes'

'Love and kindness is what truly makes you feel at home'

My Dutch husband told me: 'I married an American, please stay American!'

'My life here is totally agenda-based. If it's not in the diary it doesn't happen'

'I think any city built on water has something magical about it'

'I’ve lived all over the world and home is where the heart is'

'In the 80s I was embarrassed to be American, so I worked hard to become Dutch'

'Dutch parenting suits me much better than the neurotic expectations back home'

'I speak Dutch with a foreign accent and English with a Dutch accent'

'How Dutch am I? You'll never get me to love camping'
