Letter to university

Hello,

I'm writing a motivational letter in order to apply to a Dutch university where I'll (hopefully) be studying Global management of social issues.

I'd need someone to help me improve my letter.

Here I'm posting the last paragraph, which is about the country and why I chose it. Please give me some advice on how to expand it.

Thank you in advance!

"My love for travels has taken me around the world and in particular to Holland, where I was struck by the open-mindedness of Dutch people. I personally think that the Netherlands is a very stimulating country which is undergoing a quick development and perfectly mirrors my creative attitude. I was also impressed by how people manage to make foreigners feel at their ease, that’s why I believe I’ll be able to adapt perfectly to the life in Holland . "

Good letter, but I suggest 2 changes. " My understanding is that the nation is referred to in English as "the Netherlands," while "Holland" refers only to one province in the nation.

Good letter, but I suggest 2 changes. First, change "travels" to "travel." Second, I suggest changing the references to "Holland" to " the Netherlands." My understanding is that the nation is referred to in English as "the Netherlands," while "Holland" refers only to one province in the nation.
