Realizing I live in Montreal for 11 months and still don’t feel completely at home, makes me think about The Netherlands a lot. I don’t know if it is because Dutchland might win the World Cup tomorrow, or because my Dutch blood came to visit me. Or it might be the fact that I just [...]
Hello my friends,
How is your summer going so far?
I am sitting on our new deck enjoying the sound of the wind in the trees around me, seriously procrastinating being productive. I should write a paper about the trauma and treatment course at McGill that I did this summer but discovered that it is actually pretty [...]
Thanks to my generous, awesome, loving and supportive parents I got to see quite a bit of Canada. I’ll tell you what we saw through pictures.
Soon an update about what keeps me busy these days, I promise.
Big thanks to my parents who made this all possible! It was amazing to see, hug, laugh and talk [...]
I’d like to write a super quick update about how weird the weather here is.
Picture this.

We picked names a few weeks ago, [...]

Last weekend it was Halloween, a very much North American tradition. Too old to collect candy at doors, all grownups seem to take this holiday as a permission to party, go crazy and get drunk. So the streets of Montreal were crowded with zombies, vampires, H1N1 jokes, pimps and other out of the ordinary looking. [...]
I live in Montreal for close to two months now. I am studying for one month. The amount of things I experience and learn is great, and I would love to share as much as possible with you. On my desk is a list of things I would really like to write about, opinions, philosophies, [...]
All of you who know me a little bit, know that I am quite social and open to meeting new people of all sorts and kinds. This is one of the reasons why, till now, I had a great time here in Montreal: exploring, enjoying, entertaining and learning. I like meeting new people. That is [...]
