About me

 A recovering work-aholic:) trying to catch up with life and enjoyment. Learning to relax and appreciate life as it comes.

Hey there, thanks for visiting my blog!

My name is Bela. I am a Bulgarian expat woman currently living in Amsterdam with my husband.

This is my personal blog about my new passion for learning Dutch and discovering the dutch way of living while fully experiencing the city of Amsterdam. I found out for myself that I am tired of the old, boring way of learning a foreign language from a textbook.  So I developed for myself a new language strategy:)  called citywordhunt – hunting for words or language inspiration in the city where the language is being spoken. I decided to create this blog because learning should be about sharing – in that way it is ten times more fun.

What did I do before coming to the Netherlands?
I worked as a Learning & Development Director at an international software company with over 800 employees worldwide. I was responsible for their leadership program and soft skills training worldwide. I have a diverse academic background in Political Science, Rhetoric, Human Resources and Sociology. A certified soft skills trainer, passionate about human potential and authentic fulfillment.

In April, I started my own coaching company here in the Netherlands: Genevva Coaching. Genevva Coaching, a boutique coaching and training provider, supporting organizations and individuals in achieving sustained peak performance.Check it out to learn more!
