The Sunburn

Posted on May 12, 2014

Possibly my favorite part about the Netherlands is the generally bad weather. For one, I really enjoy gray skies (as long as it doesn’t actually rain) and colder weather because I love layering up. But …

Expectations

Posted on April 22, 2014

Though I am pretty sure it’s the endorphins talking, I love my city most when I’m biking. But what could be more Dutch? Biking in a country where there are more bicycles than people, passing …

De Uithof

Posted on March 12, 2014

Ik heb een mond vul tanden

Posted on January 29, 2014
