Founder

Dutch Locals was founded by Julia Mulder in 2020.

I’m an entrepreneur and passionate about creating possibilities that encourage connection. Conversations I’ve had with international students and expats made me realize there is a divide between the local and international community. After doing some research, I found that it is difficult for the international community to insert themselves into the Dutch culture and find their way. As you can imagine, this subject piqued my interest. The research I did, inspired me to come up with an easy way to provide information on how to insert yourself into the Dutch social life.
