About Me — Desiree Driesenaar

Life & Lemonade

My family since 2018. Mike thumbs up. New generations.

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade instead of coolaid. And dive a bit deeper into why, how, and what “

The world changes so fast, new generations come and go, computers fill my mind, AI gives me more genius than I already had. 🥱🥳

I can barely contain my excitement.

So, who am I in this world?

My parents called me “desire” because they wanted me. Nice way to enter the world in 1965.

Hippy times. Vespa scooter times. Beauty, Beatles, and Rolling Stones all around European towns.

My cradle was put in the nuclear plant where my father Joop worked and where my brainy sister had already seen the light in 1962. On the edge of two countries below sea level.

The Netherlands & Belgium.

And that’s also where my funny shifts in 2012 started to happen. Limburg, near the German border. Where rivers race in autumn. Where Max Verstappen was born and raised (yes, we know him).

Sunset over Patras City in Greece. The Lemon Tree.

Where Dutch agile and “David beats Goliath” football/soccer has it’s roots.
