Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become your character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.
– Buddhist saying

My new art deco digs come with clawfoot bathtub, record player + vinyl collection, typewriter, trumpet, stained glass window and a bunch of friendly neighbours.
I love living in other people’s apartments!

Canada, we finally meet!

Plus my tiny hat is now “influential Dutch fashion” :)

Dear Berlin, how am I supposed to concentrate on my studies when you’re parading around in your (poor but) sexy summer get up? Hmmmm?

Dutchies on the move #2

1 week until I win the Green Card Lottery.

It ain’t Amsterdam, but it’s great to be home.
