Back Home

A perk of living in Europe is being to travel so easily to great places. I was able to do

14 cities. 6 countries. 4 months.

Not bad for a girl on a very tight budget :P

Here's a summary of all the places I went to:

1.) Lille, France

Christmas 2013 in Lille with Jarne

2.) Paris, France

Paris with Jarne, 2013

3.) Bruges, Belgium

Photo taken by Jarne

4.) Zaandam, Netherlands

With the girls Laura and Beatrix

5.) Amsterdam, Netherlands

How to weed

6.) Brussels, Belgium

With Mannekin Pis

7.) Ghent, Belgium

Gravensteen

8.) Stockholm, Sweden

At Junibacken with my nephew Uriel

9.) Mont St-Michel, France

With my sister!

10.) Versailles, France

Biking around the Grand Canal on the grounds of the castle of Versailles

11.) Berlin, Germany

Kimy & Jarne in front of the Brandenburg Gate

12.) Knokke-Heist, Belgium

One of the boys. [L-R]: Jarne's uncle, Jarne's dad, Jarne's girlfriend, Jarne, Jarne's twin.

13.) Barcelona, Spain

14.) Antwerp, Belgium

The twins. Yordi and Jarne in front of De Kathedraal

I made friends with people from all over the world, learned how to bike in a city with cars (gasp!), became an expert in the field of business (LOL), went to the top of the Eiffel tower, cooked my own food (the horror!), ate empty baguettes at least three times a week, rode a bus to Berlin for nine hours, improved my French by a mile, danced the chacha with my boyfriend's grandpa, took a million selfies in front of landmarks, painted a house in Bruges, almost got kidnapped by a weird Tibetan man, scraped my left knee twice (first time because I was late for my flight leaving Stockholm, second time was because I was just being Kimy), had tapas in Barcelona, missed my train once or twice, drank a lot of Belgian beer and didn't do anything overly crazy when I got drunk, had very stinky cheese in Paris, and also, I fell in love.

Every person who ever went to Europe for student exchange says it was one of the best experiences in their life. This definitely also applies to me, not mainly because of the places I've seen, but because during those months, I was with the person who has made me the happiest  I've ever been. Europe is my favorite place on Earth not because of its beauty, but because my favorite person lives there. 

I'll be back. Please wait for me :)
