barefoot

Zutendaal. My mom and I drove an hour south, to Belgium, to walk a so-called 'barefoot path'. It's the first one in Belgium ánd the first time I do something like this and it definitely is a lot of fun! Simply to walk through the forest and feel all different textures. It did require some proper foot-cleaning afterwards, but it was so worth it.

poffertjes, music and de Affaire

Nijmegen. My favorite thing about the Netherlands in summer definitely are all the free festivals. My favorite? De Affaire, without a doubt. It's a weekly (or well, 5 days) festival with great artists and this year the weather forecast even was GREAT, so I figured I'd crash at my friend Yolanda's place for the complete weekend. I had the best of days and not so secretly fell completely in love with I Am Oak. Just listen to it (and the whole cd).

i was on a boat

And now I am home, my exchange adventure is over. 6 months flew by.

3 days in Oslo

Oslo. Before taking the boat to Germany (and home), my parents and I had 3 days in Oslo. It was their first time in the city, so we were good tourists - but also made sure to not miss the World Championship game from the Netherlands against Denmark. We won! And we

- enjoyed Vigelandsparken while the sun sort of set, which is still quite late;
- ate kanelbullar from United Bakeries;
- stayed and walked a lot around in Frogner - it's so pretty there!;
- loved Slottsparken.

And although it isn't Trondheim, I did fall a little in love with Oslo again. One day, one day I'll live there.
