Interview with me for Amsterdam Magazine, a publication for English speaking people living in the Netherlands.
The interview has a few mistakes in it and some things are taken a little out of context.
Knock Knock
Imagine living without any modern luxuries. No TV, no mobile phone and no washing machine. Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse (39) knows everything about it. She's living as if it were 1935. Amsterdam Magazine takes a look inside her thirties apartment.

It only takes one look at Jo Hedwig Teeuwisse standing in the doorway to know that something about this woman is different. With her floral button dress, classic hairdo and small round glasses, Jo looks like she just walked out of a black and white movie. After entering her apartment near Oosterpark, her interior appears to match her outfit. Everything, from the furniture to the pictures on the wall, is pre-war style.
'I've always been fascinated by history,' Jo explains. 'As a little girl I loved to fantasize what it would be like living in the past. I didn't like the style and mentality of the era that I grew up in.' That era, the seventies, was all about being free and having fun. Jo's parents were total hippies, she tells. But instead of being wild and free, Jo preferred sticking her nose in history books. When she moved out, she started decorating her first apartment in fifties style. 'The fifties were a big trend back then, so it was easy to get my furniture together. But then I discovered the thirties.' When she starts talking about her favourite decade, Jo's eyes light up. 'Most people think life was hard in the thirties with a lot of poverty, but it wasn't all bad. The radio made it's introduction and life was pretty easygoing.' Coincidentally, the design style also fits Jo's taste. Most of her interior comes from the Waterlooplein market. 'The sellers know me by now, so if they have something from the thirties, they hold it back for me.' One of her most prized possessions is a portable record player. 'Isn't it amazing?', she demonstrates. 'Here, you can wind it up yourself, so you don't need any electricity.' It's just one of the examples of Jo's sustainable way of living. 'I don't own a TV, nor a washing machine. No mobile phone, no car and no dish washer. And I have only one heater in the living room, so in the winter in can get pretty chilly in the bedroom. But that's the way it's supposed to be in winter! I just don't see the value of these modern luxuries.'
More than that, Jo sees modern technology as a burden. 'I do have 'normal' friends, who live in the here and now. But when I see them stressed and addicted to their mobile phones, I'm always happy I don't own one.' Jo does grand herself one essential luxury: a laptop. 'I'm a Historical Advisor for movies, documentaries and museums. And I also work as a tour guide in museums. To do my work properly, I do need a computer.' There is another advantage of having a laptop: Jo can keep in touch with kindred souls. 'There is a society called Club Interbellum, with people who have the same lifestyle as me. We get together once in a while to talk and dance to thirties music.'.
Even though her lifestyle is so different from most people, Jo does not feel disconnected from modern society. 'But I do feel we could learn something from the past. If you look at the way people treated each other back then, it was so much more polite. We lost a lot of that courtesy along the way. I feel it's my personal mission to teach people the beauty of history.'
Today felt like a turning point.
Today, we stopped just hoping, and tried the reality of it on for size.
