Today is the day I am leaving the UK for good to start a new life in The Netherlands with my Jaap. This has only been about a month in the planning so it still feels a little surreal, like I'm only going on holiday again. I've practically lived out of a suitcase for months, dividing my time be…

'April in Paris'.... Not only is that a lovely jazz song, it also is the perfect title for the little getaway I undertook with my dear friend Eelco. Paris is a beautiful city year round, but especially nice in Spring. Easter weekend we decided it was time to roam the streets of Paris once again. Pe…

I spent my last night in Amsterdam in... the airport, hahaha, but wasn't alone :) Yesterday, while I was in my way to Amsterdam I saw a girl holding a map. So I realized she was another tourist and asked her: "where are you from?" She was a nice Canadian girl, who was in her way to the airport…

Today we were completely 'guideless'. We took the subway to the Red Square to visit the mausoleum of Lenin. We were lucky; today was a very quiet day and no queues, so it was literally in and out in five minutes. The sight of the world's (second?)most famous mummy is surreal. Because the mummificat…

If I am not wrong I woke up at 3am in the morning, had to be early at the airport to catch my flight back to Barcelona. It was dark and cold and I was alone at the bus stop. I am a bit paranoid lol, so the few ppl that could cross on the streets, well, everybody was suspicious haha. Although t…

I found this profile shot and just had to change it so I could see more detail.  It was either taken in the very early morning or just before the sunset looking up at this wonderful piece of architecture.  It is a picture of a church in Mainz, Germany according to (efo151), Fred.  W…

Construction Area!

So yesterday I walked to the Cliffs from Doolin along the coast (recommended by the hostel caretakers versus taking a bus).  I believe I was trespassing the whole time as my walk included jumping over barricades, rivers, stone fences, past cows and other grazing animals with a curious glare, a…

On Sunday, May 10th Russia beat Canada in the World Hockey Championships and Moscow went a bit crazy.  I watched the game with friends at the TGI Friday’s on Tverskaya Street.  After the buzzer sounded we joined the multitudes of celebrating Russians along Tverskaya between Pus…

I officially moved out of my flat in London yesterday so last night Hannah and I spent the night at Ruby's house. We left around 3pm to head to Victoria station to catch the train to Gatwick where we will meet Ben. I was supposed to go in earlier then the girls and put my bags in storage as a frien…

As every article has told us, the recent European elections were a sweeping victory for the centre-right and the far-right across Europe, and the left are tongue-tied. By naming a few examples you can show the socialists losing seats in power and in opposition. But is this actually a fair character…

Friday was bittersweet. I had to say goodbye to new friends, but I was excited to start the next part of my journey. The morning began by getting half of my clothes washed at a laudromat (the other half I did later in the hotel bathtub). Then us girls went to Monastiraki to have souvalaki. After pa…

I head away from Prizren to catch a bus from Pristina to Tirana. I know it is a little bit stupid because the bus will be going straight through Prizren on its way to Tirana. But I simply did not know what to do with my backs if I had brought them to Prizren - hence it seem like the best solution t…
