    About Me
    Why I joined
    I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to meet a wide range of people and hopefully make some good friends. A perfect way to expand my horizons and after even only one event I am really glad I did.
    My Best MEETin event story ( please only fill in after you have been to an event )
    I can truthfully say that to pick my favourite event would be impossible. Through MeetinA'dam I have met some brilliant people, made good friends and done some fabulous things. Each event has been exciting in different ways and great in the same way because of the enthusiasm and energy from all members. Amsterdam rocks, but Meetin has made it roll as well!

    The following is my ammendment to Wikipedia, we'll see if it gets accepted: "Friendly means behaving in a kind way to someone, as a friend would behave. The opposite of unfriendly. For personification of this adjective, see Joanna from Meetin in Amsterdam." Seriously, Joanna is a great hostess and wonderful person. Everyone who has met her has benefitted from the experience.

    <-( Nina says ;-)
    Joanna is the life and soul of Meetin events. She is a brilliant hostess and energetic organizer. She always has a kind word to say and makes everyone feel welcome. We are lucky to have Joanna in the group.

    <-( Jo says ;-)
    Well as fellow Bristolian we were bound to get along. Jo is genuinely interested in everyone she meets and does a fantastic job of making newcomers feel right at home here in Amsterdam. A great sense of humor and great conversation. Thanks for making sure that my work-life balance stays balanced and encouraging me to take the plunge into event planning!

    <-( Theo says ;-)
    Within the shortest possible time, Jo has proven herself to be an example to all of us MeetIn folks. She's fun, bubbly, smart, a top organiser and great hostess. Although her native England (or more precisely its police force) has been the brunt of quite a few of my jokes in the past, she has proven herself to be a true Brit by answering to those jabs with witty sarcasm - and that's what I like best :) Cheers to that Jo, keep up the fun attitude!

    <-( Sandeep says ;-)
    I first met Jo ('Favourite Jo' - to give her full name) at my Indian dinner almost a year ago and I wish that she'd come to every single event ever since. She has a heart of gold, unbridled energy, excellent social & event organising skills and is a source of all knowledge (and gossip !!). Without her, I doubt many an event would have succeeded. In her previous life, Jo is known to have worked in the Catering industry but I suspect that is a cover used by all PAPARAZZI because she is well known for ambushing unsuspecting members and taking inopportune pictures and videos *cough*. So make sure you introduce yourself to her - before she does it herself. She's all right really.

    <-( Luis says ;-)
    Joana is a born hostess: she is organized, always in a good mood, always paying attention to everything and everybody. She is always smiling and will make you feel confortble at the very instant you meet her. I strongly advice you to try and make it for her events, she knows how to do it!

    <-( Tarsha says ;-)
    Jo is a consistently cheerful, enthusiastic, chilled-out chick. Forever warm and welcoming, and as stated before has good tips on a diversity of subjects - another notable example: ironing! She once wrote that as more time goes on, the more impressed she is with Meetin, well all I can say is that as more time goes on, the more impressed Meetin is with Jo!

    <-( Fong says ;-)
    Met Joanna during the Haarlem Culinair, which I organised, and straightaway, Joanna volunteered to help with 'crowd control'! A real gem. Really friendly and easy to talk to. Great tips on wine and food too! You'll want to meet her at the next event!!

    <-( Matthew says ;-)
    Joanna is so cool, you really stand out. Thank you for helping me with the sites to find out what's going on! If you ever need guide to know what is going on in Denver send me a shout. Matthew

    <-( salina says ;-)
    enthusiastic, organizing, social, funny, keepin' the rules to pub quizes straight ;) and superfriendly; Joanna's been a great addition to MeetIn.

    <-( Sandy says ;-)
    Three cheers for Joanna because she exudes the friendliness and enthusiasm for events that make Meetin Amsterdam so great! Good to have met you!
