CONTACTS
Denise Gex-Collet
was born and raised in Basel Switzerland where she also completed her education as a registered nurse and worked for several years at a private hospital. In 2003 she relocated to the Netherlands together with her husband, where she founded "The Other Half", motivated by the fact that many partners of employees of international organisations experience difficulties in integrating in the Netherlands. She is the mother of two lovely children and is currently enrolled at Leiden University.
Monika Lovric
is in love with her hometown Vienna and lives in The Hague since 2003. She studied archeology and history of art for many years and managed to achieve a doctorandus diploma at the University of Leiden in 2006. In the weekends she likes to explore the art world and to bake some tasty 'Gugelhupf' - a traditional Viennese cake....
Anneleen Lagae
Marielle Rillaerts
Being a Belgian and a native Dutch speaker, I knew quite well what to expect when moving to the Netherlands, still I was occasionally surprised by Dutch society. Living here has been fun however and as a Social and Cultural Anthropologist, specialized in International Relations, I quickly found a job at one of the many embassies in The Hague and managed to sample the Dutch education system at the same time by following an extra Master´s Degree in Public International Law.
