Her mission is to enrich your stay in the Netherlands. By facilitating meaningful encounters with like-minded professionals and genuine conversations, she creates an experience that goes beyond the ordinary.

Julia is an experienced entrepreneur and the founder of The Dining Company. With over 20 years of expertise in mental health care, she has developed deep insights into human behavior. Her open mindset, love for diverse cultures, and passion for fine dining make her an exceptional host. Julia firmly believes that social interaction enriches life.
Her own experiences have taught her that traveling solo for work can be both rewarding and challenging. While business travel offers opportunities and inspiration, it can also make it difficult to connect with individuals who share your professional level and networking aspirations. Additionally, many people find it uncomfortable to dine alone repeatedly. This understanding became the driving force behind her motivation to establish The Dining Company.
Julia was born in Moldova and moved to the Netherlands at the age of six with her mother due to Julia’s severe illness. Fortunately, she fully recovered and eventually stayed in the Netherlands. Her mother remarried, which gave Julia her Frisian last name.
She grew up in a remarkable family: her mother was a top athlete, and her father a man of literature. Julia has a younger brother who is a doctor and currently studying to become a surgeon. It is clear that a strong work ethic and perseverance run in the family. However, Julia’s childhood was far from easy. She faced many challenging periods, and happiness did not come to her effortlessly. Nevertheless, she managed to create her own happiness and success through hard work, continuous self-development and an optimistic approach to life.
