    @selah-chelyah O I don’t live in the city of Utrecht! We have provinces, like you have states. So we have the province of Utrecht (of which the main city is Utrecht, confusing, I know haha) and I live in a small town in that province. But I do visit the city of Utrecht every now and then. So even though everyone calls the Netherlands Holland (and the country was actually called Holland for some time) I don’t live in the provinces of North and South Holland. But I’ve been there a lot! Amsterdam, Utrecht, the Hague. After all our country is not that big. But yes I was born here! My whole family is Dutch. The forests and the north sea are my favorite parts of living here. (:

    And I’m not an expert but ofcourse we had our history class. I believe 1795 was around the time the French occupied the Netherlands. I’ve never beta read any books before but I’d absolutely love to read your story! Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres and I don’t think there are many books that are set in The Netherlands around that time period. So yes feel free to send it to me whenever you want to! And if you have any questions just ask them, though I probably don’t know all the answers.

    I enjoy talking to you too! (:
