Nina

 
 

My full name is…
Nina van Velzen.

 

But my friends call me…
Nien.

 

I grew up…
On a houseboat in Amsterdam together with my mom, dad and little brother.

 

My cultural background is…
Dutch.

 

Being a mother is…
The absolute best thing that ever happened to me.

 
 

 

The perfect day is…
In our rooftop tent in nature on a warm summer day near the sea.

 

My favourite place in the world...
Is in my boyfriend’s arms.

 

The perfect evening is...
Outside on a summer night near a fire with a beer or two.

 

I find comfort in…
Photography, art books and vinyl.

 

My style…
Is classy, feminine and cool.



   


You'll usually find me…
Outside walking behind the stroller.

 

Before becoming a mother...
I was living in Italy with my boyfriend in a small village with only 16 inhabitants, including us.

 

Right now I am…
Spending as much time as I can with my family.

 

In the future I hope to...
Be a woman my daughter can look up to.

 

I feel inspired by…
Other women.

 

  

 

My favourite colour is…
Blue and yellow.

   

 Three words that describe me are…
Pure, loving and funny.

 

I have fun…
All day every day.

 

My favourite body part
Is my lips.

 

I am moved by…
Elderly people. 


 

 

 

 The scent of home is…
Fresh flowers.

 

Something people don’t know about me...
I love riding an electric dirt bike.

 

I am my happiest when
In Italy, the sun is shining, surrounded by the people I love and eating Italian food.

 

I am hopeful for...
What the future will bring for us.

 

I am looking forward to...
Seeing my daughter grow up.
