17 year, Yuverta MBO Rotterdam
What will you learn during your training?
" I learn things about animals, how to take care of them. Furthermore, I personally enjoy being able to get up close and personal with the animals. I ended up joining my studies because I wanted to be a marine biologist since I was young, maybe five years old. So eventually I came to animal care."
How would you describe yourself in your friend group and at school?
"In my friend group and at school, I've always really been a class clown. I really enjoy just doing weird stuff and making everyone laugh."
What do you like to do in your free time?
"When I'm fishing, I'm more about seeing if I can catch something so I can get a closer approach to a fish. I usually fish near Coolhaven and then I just walk around the Erasmus Bridge and go further, more to the Euromast. Apart from fishing, I do enjoy just visiting the stores in Rotterdam. If I go to a thrift store, I usually go to Episode. I was able to get a nice pair of pants there the other day. Sometimes you can find a really nice pair of shoes there."
Julian's hotspots
Beurs - If you are new to Rotterdam, my biggest tip is to walk around Beurs somewhere and look for a store you like and go in there. Usually it's fun to look inside there then too.
