Hayley aka Bitterballen Bruid, is 32 and lives in Hilversum, the Netherlands with her (Dutch) husband and their cat called Paris (no, she didn’t name her – long story.) Her blog www.bitterballenbruid.com is about living in het Gooi, eating too many bitterballen, learning how to be Dutch… and the language. She likes to use brackets and this is her first attempt at blogging.
