Bio
As the daughter of the Dutch disarmament diplomat Arend Meerburg, I have - following my parents' foreign posts - lived mostly abroad from the age of four. Kindergarten and primary school were in French-speaking Switzerland, then a few years back in the Netherlands. When I was 15, we moved to Paris and two years later back to Geneva. My high school was three years in Dutch, two years in French and two years in English. I moved to California and studied at English-language universities for seven years, and then I lived and worked there until 2002. Then I moved to Spanish- and Catalan-language Barcelona. In 2014, I moved to a small village in France. In 2018 I moved back to the Netherlands to take care of my elderly mum so she can keep living in her house. I have now been back in my native country for 5 years - after more than three decades years of absence. Due to my multicultural upbringing and life, I consider French and English my true mother tongues, which I dominate the most.

I have many years of experience in planning, designing, manufacturing and installing carpentry, metalwork/welding, mosaics, furniture, boat repair, decoration, art and other technical/construction/creative pursuits. In the Netherlands, I am without a studio. Here, I worked on technical translations, copywriting and friendly multilingual support. My knowledge of various technical processes translates into writing realistic and engaging texts about machines, tools, working methods, history and other topics.
