- …that I’ve worked at pretty much all media publishers in the Netherlands?
- Where would you go in a time machine and with whom/why?
- I’d love to take a peek at 2030 to see how our profession has evolved and what role AI plays in our (working) lives by then. And I’d bring my colleagues along.
Henrike's Recommendations

- What book would you recommend?
- A classic: The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold.
- Can you recommend a good restaurant?
- Café Restaurant Amsterdam in… Amsterdam.

- Oh, then I can name another film: Whispers of the Woods, a beautifully magical film about the love for and fragility of nature.
