We take a different approach. Back to basics.
We believe that face to face connection leads to real impact, in business and in life.
The Dining Company is trusted by professionals that go beyond business. It’s about bringing together internationals and local changemakers in curated settings where trust, insight and collaboration can grow.
We use the dinner table as a stage for something deeper:
Meaningful conversations, cultural exchange, and intentional relationships.
Not to impress — but to connect.
Not to network — but to belong.
For locals, internationals and business travelers.
Traveling for work can sometimes be quite lonely, especially in a new city. The Dining Company was exactly what I needed. A friendly companion to share dinner with and explore the city. I felt immediately at ease and appreciated the insider tips on the best places to visit. It’s a must for anyone who travels frequently for business.
Managing 35 businesses, I often host business partners from the UK, but rarely have the time to entertain them myself. The Dining Company has been a perfect solution for this. I now hire other professionals through them to keep our guests company. Everyone is delighted, and it’s a huge relief for me.
With an important event on my calendar, I wanted a plus-one to share the experience. The Dining Company came to the rescue by arranging for a professional companion who truly enhanced the evening. Their presence made the event more enjoyable. I couldn’t be happier with their service.
Julia Jorritsma knows, from personal experience, what it’s like to start fresh in a new country. As an international in the Netherlands, building real connections with locals can be a challenge and the same goes for locals trying to engage with internationals.
In today’s fast-paced world, genuine connections often get overlooked. But what if the key to success isn’t working harder, but connecting deeper?
After two decades of studying human behavior, especially in business, Julia realized that the most impactful collaborations and lasting friendships come from true connections. This is the foundation of real success, in both business and life.
That’s why she founded a warm community bringing locals, internationals and business travelers together. A carefully curated space where meaningful connections lead to extraordinary collaborations and life-changing opportunities. It’s about building lasting relationships.
