Saying Goodbye #NYCLife19

-
It felt weird saying goodbye to a city like New York. My last weeks I spent doing things for the last time. My last Subway ride, my last Times Square moment and my last look upon the magnificent skyscrapers. I lived here, well on EF Campus for six months, I build up a entire new routine and now I had to start over again. A new place a new life, I was excited and totally ready for new adventures. But I owe you a recap of my last weeks, I'll do it fast because than the pain is less.

I spend my weekends with my friends, one after the other they were all leaving. We went to the shopping mall and just hung out there. Or we went to the city but only with a plan. I needed to by some last things because it was snowing in NY and I was going to a tropical Island.
Walking around like that brought me more emotion than I could've imagined, it felt weird leaving it all behind. But when I look back those times in New York or all the fun times on Campus, man those were good. I became a new person, it all changed me. You find different part of yourself in different places, some you like, some you might hate. Only you can do something about you, and you should only change for you. I learned that the hard way, but the right way. It's okay to get hurt because with a  little pain all the beauty is a lot more colorful.

I highly encourage you if you get the change to go to New York, Go. Because if you let it, it will change you.



          

Yours Faithfully,

Museum Voorlinden

Hey art enthusiast! I recently went to the Voorlinden museum in Wassenaar and thought I'd share my experience :) It was a Thursday midday with very nice weather. And I specify this because this meant there weren't a lot of people. Those who were there, all above 50 haha. So we fitted right in. You might remember Renee my mistress in mischief whom I met in NY. She kept me company during this trip into aesthetics. Upon arrival we drove onto a big estate. It had a beautiful country house, where you could dine, and a lot of greenery surrounding it. (We had a picnic later on) The museum is also on the same land. It resembles a futuristic looking building with a lot of white and glass. I rather like this for museums. The price wasn't great. They didn't have any student discount so we had to pay the full price of 17,50.. However in my opinion it's worth it if you go during this exhibition. The Yahoo Kusama exhibition travels, especially the Infinity room is a rarity t

Mental health during Quarantine & Chill

Everyone is stuck in isolation. If it is with family, roommates, pets or just by yourself it can be hard. Not having enough alone time or having too much alone time can drive you wild. If you are familiar with mental health struggles this might be a difficult time for you. So here are some tips on how to get you through the days. PS: even if you don't struggle with mental health yourself this might still be a good read. It might help you relate or converse with those who do. 1. Meditation This is my favorite tip by far. If you're just a bit like me you'll be stuck in your head a lot. Nitpicking every single detail about yourself. Usually, in our busy student life, we have enough going on that there is not a lot of time left to spend hours in our heads. However, now that we're stuck sitting inside there is a whole lot of opportunities to snuggle up underneath a blanket with a cup of tea and start to fantasize about everything you hate about yourself. So I

What I ate in Cuba

Hello! It's been a while since we last spoke but I think this post will be a good one to catch up ;) This summer I went to Central America including Cuba. As you could probably guess by now, this is a what I ate there as a vegan. As predicted it was quite hard. For one, Cuba doesn't really have import, therefore they only eat what they can grow. Secondly, Cubans looooove their meat/fish and cheese. Luckily there is this space age technology now called the internet. So I could do all my stalking beforehand. The one I'm going to talk about first was based in Vinales called  Finca Agroecológica El Paraiso AKA  organic farm. We arrived after cycling thirty minutes in 40 degrees celsius heat up a steep hill. The view was amazing and made it all worth it. We were sat at a table overlooking the valley and organic farm where birds flew from palmtree too palmtree. After asking if we could have the lunch vegan they gave us a so many plates full of fresh organic food. Includi
