Throwback 5

Hey, welcome back to the 2 or 3 people reading my throwbacks! The last 2 weeks were very busy for me at work. I had 3 important presentations to present my work to the different management teams. I did this together with an intern at Cargill in Ghent. It was a great honour for us to do this and we learned a lot during our internships.

Last week, I also had an interesting debate about Sustainability in the palm oil industry at work. The Young Cargill network was divided into 6 different stakeholders and we all had to play our role as a stakeholder and so defend ourselves. In that way, everyone understood the entire Supply Chain and problems for this product. It is an important topic that has a big impact on deforestation.

The weekend of 11-12 May was very relaxing for me. I did a bike tour by myself in Amsterdam and I visited the places I hadn’t seen yet. I saw a couple of pretty parks with fountains. That evening, I decided to go to the cinema to watch Avengers: Endgame. I loved the movie, three hours of fun, action and sadness! I took my own drinks and snacks inside the cinema, badass I know…

The next day, I joined Jill and Merel and we did a guided free walking tour in Amsterdam. Otto was our guide and he told us a lot of interesting facts about Amsterdam and he showed us around in some areas such as the Jewish neighbourhood and the University of Amsterdam. Below, you will find a picture of our group with the guide. Always fun to take cringe pictures in public!

In the evening, we cooked together and watched the final episode of the ‘Mol’ where they explained everything.

This week, I worked on a step plan to ensure the continuity of my project after my internship and I also had some meetings and smaller presentations.

On Saturday, Zoë, Merel and I went to the library of Amsterdam to do some schoolwork such as writing our paper. This library was very large and clean. It was a great experience to integrate between the students from Amsterdam and to work with a view over the city (fifth floor).

Today, Sunday 19/05 was a relaxing day where I did a walking tour by myself to spot awesome cars in the city centre. Now I am currently waiting for the final episode of Game of Thrones to come out.

Anyway, this was my final throwback. A little bit random stories in 1 post, sorry for that! Have a nice week.
