Hi everyone,

My name is Silke, the newest contributor here at Sartle. It took me way too long to find this semi-normal picture. In 2012, I got my masters degree in Art History and I’ve been working as a curator and floor/project manager ever since. I love trivia, I mean funny facts are basically the only thing anyone remembers after all those tests, right? So I am pretty excited to work and write for Sartle!

Last year my computer nerd husband and I moved to Nerd Valley. Besides my love for anything digital, radical and feminist, which drew me to the bay area, it could also be the weather. Since I was born in Netherlands, even foggy San Francisco is tropical to me.

By the way, did you know 70% of the world’s bacon comes from Netherlands? ALSO Gin was invented in the Netherlands. Damn, what would the world be like without the Dutch? Like a true Dutchie you will catch me riding around the city on my (bright pink) bicycle. No clogs, just sneakers. But I do like cheese…and gin.

Anyway, when I am not lost in the deep dark places of the web, looking for juicy details on artworks, I am either cuddling dogs or teaching fitness classes to seniors (no, really).

Once I set foot in the Netherlands, I learned what a beautiful and friendly country it is. I love the scenery and the people there.

The journey to Netherlands was an entertaining one as the tourist attractions here are varied and interesting. From the world-famous canals of Amsterdam to the tulip fields of Keukenhof there is much to see and do in Netherlands.
