Yanaika Summer

""A journalist from De Telegraaf once asked me what on earth I was doing in Den Helder.""

Yanaika Zomer – city poet, writer, and born coastal woman – traded her student room back then for the one and only true homecoming: the sea. In her columns on stadaanzee.nl, she writes about her love for Den Helder, the dike, and her new home on Molenplein.
