Sunny pleasures

Do I miss Amsterdam? I have been asking myself this question. I would dare to say no but it’s too painful to admit it let alone feel it (or should I say not feel at all?).

A love letter for Brazil

Being away from my home country for two years is more than enough to acknowledge that I was not born to be separated from the things I care about the most: friends and family. Likewise, the sunlight. If only I could bring them all with me...

Summertime in Germany’s countryside

My first night in Assmanshausen am Rhein was unbearably hot. But when you wake up, with that muggy night behind you, you feel a delicious Taunus mountain breeze that suddenly comforts you. Practicing sport or just walking around the Rhine River early in the morning is priceless. A few places thrill me more when I close my eyes and remember this landscape.

I miss vitamin D!

Of all things from my home country that I miss the most, nothing can beat the sunlight that I now yearn for months. Why am I not feeling that positive urge and energy which has always pushed me forward? Is my body lacking vitamin D?

Here comes the sun...

When you live in the Netherlands, you have to make the most of the blessed sunny season. Since I moved to Amsterdam I learned how to really appreciate the sun – I must confess that I took this gorgeous fireball for granted.
