Nostalgia

Joost Linthorst, 21, might have a Dutch name but feels more at home in the UAE than in the Netherlands and when he speaks English, he sounds Scottish.

“I was born in Scotland, then I moved to Abu Dhabi, then back to Scotland, then to Oman and now I have been living in Delft for two years,” he says. He came to the Netherlands to study, he’s pursuing a bachelor’s in civil engineering. His traditional Omani headdress, called a muzzar, was given to him by his mother when he left for the Netherlands. “It reminds me of home, because home is where my family is,” he says.
