I may not be officially employed at Herberg 't Loon, but I still feel like I belong here. Because I live on the premises, I am often found in the eatery. The regulars know me well by now and I love helping out wherever I can. Bringing a drink, having a chat, or just being part of the scene. I enjoy contributing to the atmosphere here.

My life looks very different now compared to a few years ago. Back then, I was still living in Brazil, where it is always warm and the beaches are beautiful. I feel at home in the Netherlands now and I am doing well in school, but I sometimes miss the sun and the relaxed vibe from back home.

That is why I have a dream: saving up for a holiday to Brazil. Going back, visiting family and friends, and experiencing that wonderful beach feeling again. Every time I can set a little money aside, that dream comes one step closer. Until then, I enjoy everything I have here. I love the cozy atmosphere of the eatery, the people around me, and the plans I am making for the future.

Who knows, maybe in a while I will be sitting with my feet in the sand and a coconut in my hand. But until then? You will just find me right here, at Herberg 't Loon!
