Our time together flew by. My questions about Albert morphed into questions about Wim, and I found his life story even more interesting than Albert’s. Wim is accomplished in the fields of creative arts, linguistics and writing. From teacher to writer to language consultant to a lecturer to cabaret performer to TV presenter to board game creator. With over 123 published books to his credit, from the first Dutch “COVID-19 romance”, to a children’s book about Vincent Van Gogh, to a book about villages in the Netherlands in the 1950s, which then became a TV series starring Wim.
