Kimberle Swaak

I am an expatriate.

I am American, and I am now living in the Netherlands. I am currently in Noordwijk aan Zee.

About me

At the tender young age of 22, I followed my heart (a man) and moved to the Netherlands. What was meant to be a six-month stay turned into twelve years, during which time I lived like the Dutch live and learned to speak the language like a native. Now back in the States, husband (same man) and two kids in tow, I feel just as Dutch as I am American, one foot firmly planted in each culture. More of my writing about silly Dutch people (and I include myself in that category) can be found at web.me.com/k.swaak.

I can speak Dutch & English

My birthday is on 20 February, I was born in 1968

kopje koffie, buurvrouw?

At the tender young age of 22, Kimberle followed her heart (a man) and moved to the Netherlands. What was meant to be a six-month stay turned into twelve fabulous and cold years, during which time she lived as the Dutch do and learned to speak the language like a native. After moving from the NL back to the States a few years ago, she found she could look with fresh (and not altogether unbiased) eyes at the silly, sometimes unexplainable situations she encounters during her travels in the NL and beyond. Kimberle and her family live in Atlanta, where she has vowed never to complain about the heat.
