I haven’t updated anything in a long time as I’ve been so extremely busy with my masters course. However, after months of reading and revising, I’ve finally had the opportunity to take a 3 day break in Amsterdam with Nicky for my 23rd birthday. Let’s just say I found my dream home – a place that actually matches my personality. I’ve found that it’s a cross between the West Coast of the US and Europe and I can’t think of any better mix. Clearly I loved it a lot, because it has inspired me to post on my blog for the first time in over a year and that says something! … but then again, I could just be trying to find reasons to avoid working on my dissertation 😉
In any case, my trip to Amsterdam has inspired me. After arriving back home, I found myself on AirBnB again last night thinking about my next destination. Unfortunately, I have months of reading, writing, and revising ahead of me, but the travel bug is certainly still very alive!

A quick rain/snow in the middle of the day before the sun came back out again! Strange weather!

Nicky’s favorite kind of shop!
This city has more bikes than boats and more boats than cars. My kind of place!
Apparently they have a houseboat museum here. We didn’t go, but in general, the houseboats in Amsterdam look amazing!
Because I’m silly
