FAQs
1. Is your dad’s name also Dekanova?
Actually no. My father’s name is Dekan. In Slovak language, we automatically add ‘ova’ to all girls’ surnames when they’re born, just in case they would turn out to be hot tennis players when they grow up.

Nine. That is exactly nine times more than the number of times I said no to free food. *quickly double checks 0 x 9 = 0 hmmmmmm* No cities. No cities at all.
4. We hear you left Amsterdam a few years ago and moved to Hamburg. Why would you ever do that?!
I actually left Amsterdam for Berlin. Then Berlin didn‘t quite work out and I felt stupid returning back to Amsterdam just one month after I left it. Hamburg was on the way. I‘m hiding here ever since.
5. Are you a true Amsterdammer when it comes to bicycles?
That depends. If you’re asking whether I would carry 5 toddlers and a shopping bag on my bike while texting at the same time, I would probably say no. I would also most likely still choose an Uber over a 47min ride in a hail storm. But hey, I’ve broken an elbow when crossing tram rails, bonus points?
