Hi all!

I am Maud van der Meer, 23 years old and currently doing my final internship in Amsterdam. My internship is at the Student Hotel Amsterdam City. I started there in the end of September and I will stay here till the end of August. This makes that my internship will last for a total  of  11 months. I work here as the GM trainee and I work closely with the Assistant General Manager, who is an alumni of NHTV hotel management. The Student Hotel offers both student accommodation, short stay accommodation and hotel rooms. I really do enjoy working here as the concept and the way the hospitality service is shaped really matches my own personality. For the topic of my Bachelor thesis, I hope to get inspired in the upcoming weeks! Good luck to everyone, let’s do this!

Hello, my name is Tijmen and I am 26 years old. Currently I am enrolled in the BT course in order to help me write my thesis (I have had a fair amount of delay).

My name is Floris van der Borg(22), a regular track Hotel Management student at NHTV Sibeliuslaan.
After performing a sales internship in a hotel in Breda, I decided to travel for a couple of months, after which I am looking forward to finalize my education by writing a BT.
One of my greatest passions is to create my own company, and I am currently discovering the possibilities to do this in the upcoming year. Therefore, I am planning to write my BT in the form of a Business Plan.
Next to this, I enjoy playing a variety of sports, including outdoor- and adrenaline-fueled activities, food and (alcoholic) beverages and hanging out with friends.

Hello, my name is Lorenzo Cajati, I am 23 years old and currently back to Rome, the place I was born in. I just completed a minor in sustainability, social responsability and professional identity. I am very passionate about this topic and woud like to have a positive influence on the world in my future. I am now searching for an internship to give a professional back-up to my research, but my struggle lies in finding a company in line with my stream of thought and that is at the same time very innovative in their field. Moreover, I recently started a small project selling wood wear and wood watches to have a better insight in the dynamics of the online consumption; also here I am trying to contribute on a social level donating part of my profits to a charity that empowers people in Africa by teaching them how to farm and at the same time I use only recyclable materials. Regarding my thesis I want to design a new concept in the hospitality business which has at its core sustainability, circular economy,  art and innovation.  Wish the best to everyone!!

My name is Jimmy Otterdijks, 20 years old and currently doing my graduation internship in Leiden. I started in August and I will finish in the first week of June. Within this company I am supporting the senior consultants as a junior consultant with all kinds of concept development-, feasibility- and management support studies within the hospitality and leisure industry. Since it will be very useful to combine my thesis topic with the data off my very interesting and educational but endless long internship, I will write a business plan for an umbrella management which will exploit  a group of hotels. Different than a chain hotel group since all hotels will keep their own identity. Despite the fact that this course is very research focused, I hope it will be a good way to get on track with my thesis.
