Olga grew up on the outskirts of Rotterdam, then lived on the shores of Lake Thun and eventually ended up by the Aare. And stayed. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Governance and Administration and a master’s degree in International and European Tax Law. She obtained both degrees from the University of Amsterdam.

So what does Olga get up to in her free time? A bit of everything. Give her a quiet place and she gets creative. She describes herself as a DIY nerd. From bread to beer. From toothpaste to tinctures. She loves making things herself. And one day, she dreams of having her very own “food forest“.

Olga was never a top-class athlete. However, she once put in a roller skate performance. Now if that doesn’t count as competitive sport, what does?

Olga has two great fears in life: one is forgetting something important (already happened), and other is driving on the wrong side of the road (hasn’t happened yet – fortunately). However, she not only has fears – she also has goals. And they are: “Schwiizerdütsch” (learn Swiss German) and master a martial art.

Why do cows wear bells? Because their horns don’t work.
