24 oranges is a Netherlands-based, English-language blog about anything Dutch. We post anything that’s fun, interesting, weird, cool, and otherwise unique. Look at the Netherlands through (near) native eyes. This is where we blog about something else than tourist and expat information.

Why oranges? The colour orange is the colour of the Dutch Royal House as well as the football team, two easily noticeable Dutch icons.

Who we are

24Oranges went live in February 2007 as a project Orangemaster and Branko Collin could both do together, essentially combining writing in English about the Netherlands for a larger audience and the fun Dutch stuff we find on the Internet. We also want to have a site with unique content and views. Instead of sending silly e-mails to each other or Skype, a blog allowed us to share with the world.

Orangemaster is DJ and event planner Natasha Cloutier, aka Orangemaster and a Canadian who also runs Dunglish.nl. She likes to blog about Dutch society, music, photography and weird stuff.

Tech-savvy Branko Collin, a real Dutch guy, blogs about e-books at Teleread.org and produces e-books at Project Gutenberg. He likes to blog about tech, comic strips, copyright and design.

Embedded software programmer Eric Boon, a Dutch immigrant living in Germany who made his debut in November 2008 adds an extra dimension to the blog with his outside perspective. He likes to blog about tech, cars, gadgets and probably beer.
