Last weekend, a journalist asked me to put ‘my story’ on paper for her. Why am I living abroad, what am I doing here, and how did I get to this point in my life? I thought it wouldn’t take much to write it all down in a few sentences, but it turned out to …
And just like that, it’s the first of May already. Labour Day, and a national holiday here in Italy. A fortnight ago – in my previous blog – I gave you a very comprehensive update of what has been happening in my life lately. Some of you loyal readers told me they’d love for me …

More than a month has passed since my last blog. That’s longer than ever! It means that after nearly 3.5 years, I was suddenly “free” from blogging for an entire month. Until the beginning of this year, when I was still publishing a blog every week, my blogs regularly had a hint of inspiration in …

Back home in the Netherlands, it was carnival last week but unfortunately, I didn’t manage to go home to celebrate it this year. One of my friends sent me a message: do you feel FOMO? Meaning: The Fear of Missing Out. My answer was clear: I am not afraid of missing out on something, I …
I have already been back in Milan for a fortnight now. I still have to get used to the fact I skipped a week of blogging, because I only now realise that it means I haven’t gotten the chance to tell you about the week preceding this past week. The week in which I already …

Happy New Year! It may already be the ninth of January, but I simply haven’t had the opportunity to wish you a happy 2022 here on my blog before now. You might have noticed it: last Monday, I didn’t publish any blog. It was my birthday that followed after a Christmas period that was busier …

And just like that, it was the Monday before Christmas. It means the beginning of a jam-packed but very cosy week every single year, but this time, it really takes the cake. Hence, I have to keep the blog a little shorter this week, although I feel somewhat sorry about that. After all, with all …
In the previous blog, I told you that I now have my own place in Milan, and how it all worked out so quickly. It had quite an open-ended ending however: I was about to set foot in the house for the very first time and was I going to tell you all about what …

After all, it happened. For the first time in three years, I skipped a Monday blog. And although the idea still bothers me a little, I know it was bound to happen one day, right? And if there was one week in which it was truly impossible to find even one single hour of time, …

I believe I ended my previous blog with my rather busy itinerary of this second half of November: from Genova to Madrid and from Bologna to Florence. That’s also the exact reason why you couldn’t read this blog on Monday already like you’re used to. I had a late evening flight to Madrid on Monday …
