30-12 Entering the international market in terms of seeking a job. In the northeastern part of the Netherlands there is nothing to earn and the recession could take years. I wanted to move anyway and nowadays there is a lot of work in the southern part of the country and in Germany. Our minister of the job-department, Henk Kamp, says that one needs to be willing to relocate for a job and you know, he is right. 28-9 Back from a lovely trip to Bonn, Niederaußem (near Cologne) and Valkenburg. Once, till 1958, there was the castle of the Knights of Holtrop, called Burg Holtrop, right on a hill top near Niederaußem. Once the knights of Holtrop rode through the wooded hills. On this very spot now arises a memorial cross with the words 'Zur Erinnerung an das Holtroper Kreuz'. #Book I'll fill in the blanks when we'll have a drink.
Who am I? I'm Bernardus (Bernard) Holtrop, born and raised on a dairy farm in a remote region of Rotstergaast, The Netherlands. We enjoyed a joyful childhood at the wonderful Frisian prairies. A few years later I started my time as a student at the Dutch Van Hall Institute. I got invited to live with some friends in a joint household. I accepted and we got a legendary time. In 1995 I graduated in the fields of environment, soil, water and agriculture, with a heavy accent on IT. This succes entitled me to use the title of engineer, 'Ingenieur'. Since then I moved a lot from town to town and had many jobs. At the time being I thought switching a lot was stimulating, but as the years gone by I found myself longing for a steady career. I got some very interesting jobs and grew ambitious. But, last year I lost my steady job due to a bankruptcy. I'm seeking again. I am widely interested and have a whole lot of hobby’s.
sports I love swimming and equitation. I worked for many years with trotters as a stable boy, trainer and attendant at the now legendary racing stable Tjitse Smeding at Oudeschoot. I owned two horses myself, but sold them when I got busy exploring other hobby's.
to draw I like to draw (mostly portraits and animals) on large papers. I prefer to work quick, less detailed. With charcoal or red ochre. View of my works the ape, the sparrow, the old man with beard and the halcyon.
Other As I wrote earlier, I'm widely interested and I have many hobby's. I'm maintaining many websites, I like to walk and to photograph, I like to write promotional stories and I have a very strong affinity with ICT. I'm also interested in nature and environment, politics, sun, culture and history.
