He's returned to Mexico to work as an urban planner and now came to Rotterdam for a visit. But Adrián's journey was about more than just studying. He shares his stories and insights about many aspects of Dutch life from the Mexican perspective. He knew how to make the most of his time and didn't just stick to the Netherlands.
