All stories must come to an end

For the twelfth time in five months, the wheels of the plain hit the ground. But this time it is a little bit different: I have landed on Dutch ground. As I run through the airport and finally walk through the doors of Schiphol, I have no time to ...

What are the odds?

Last time I left you with a small cliff hanger as to whether I would be able to continue my travel. Writing you most of this message from a junglestay in Thailand, the answer is yes! The morning on which Adrianna and I left Cebu to visit my ...

The day of the Turtle

I saw a sea turtle. A big one. I swam with it for a few minutes. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Remember this, because the story will begin a little bit more shitty… After a terrible last week in Seoul (too much ...

How not to spend your very last day in Korea

How not to spend your very last day in Korea: -with a tonsil infection -writing papers instead of packing -getting an injection in your ass because of an allergic reaction I comfort myself with the thought that most other days in Korea ...

Let me introduce you to a real Korean activity: The Membership Training (MT). Last week there was the MT for my Kuba group. MT is just a very fancy way of saying: let’s all go to the seaside and get wasted and all sleep on the floor - LOL. It ...

My shoes

I have these shoes, they are my favorite shoes. They are the most expensive ones I ever bought. They are made of light brown leather, and they brought me wherever I needed to be for the last four years. While all my other shoes gave up, these ...

On Milk and Sunshine

One reason to exchange your comfy life for a place at the other side of the world is without a doubt the weather. Dutch winters are simply the worst. I mean, cold is not such a big deal, but the lack of light causes many of us (including me) to ...

Reflection Week

A rather short blog- for the simple reason that I got a bit tired of reflecting on myself all the time. Before I left the Netherlands, I made a prediction: I will probably try to adjust to the new culture in every way possible, get really ...

Bilbo's back!

It seems I stayed true to my promises and worked very hard on shortening my to do list! I am proud to say that I kinda ditched all my uni work and explored Korea and Seoul. Now is the time, for the midterms are getting closer and soon there ...

Hello Seoul!

Yes, I know, long time no seen. Let’s not waste words with apologizing for the fact that I didn’t update my blog. Settling in takes some time and you know, there’s a country to explore ;) But I have found some time to tell you a bit more ...

"The four stages of culture shock: honeymoon face; irritation and depression; negotiation; and finally, acceptance. Duration: four months." Honeymoonface? I’m quite sure is over, or it was probably already over when Shit hit the Stomach in ...

Missing and Hitting the Wall

Three girls are dressed in redhead outfits, while singing and dancing against a background of giant mushrooms and green hills. Through the speakers a loud beat is keeping the bus awake. We are the 8.00 pm group, who just arrived at the Incheon ...

Take picture please?

At 5 o’clock in the morning, after 36 hours in the train, we arrived in Shanghai. We had to ask about 15 people before we found the hotel, but there we finally found a comfortable bed. O wait, no, we only have one day in Shanghai left, let’s not ...

Bilbo and the dragon

People and hobbits are not that different. Hobbits love food, comfortable couches, and the sights of green hills. And so do I! When I write this, I am aboard a sleep train from Hong Kong to Shanghai, which should have arrived 10 hours ago. And ...

Fl(cr)ying babies and meeting Utor

There I stand, watching a hundred skyscrapers bathing in light saying to me: “Welcome to Asia, things are a bit different here, but I am sure you will like it”. When will I realize the Asian world is my home for the upcoming half year? No idea, ...

No goodbyes!

I have come to the following conclusions: - there is no such thing as a sexy travel outfit - there are shoes that will cost you 200 Euros, but which you still rather not wear (called mountain shoes) - leaving is the hardest part of ...

General Secretary, you need a system!

Tuesday I had the premiere of Collaborators. For those of you who are not part of UCM or have been living under a rock: this is A UCM-play which I co-directed and act in. But not alone, we made this play with a group of 25 students and boy did we ...

Het is een keuze

Tijdens mijn enkele studiejaar psychologie heb ik één ding vooral geleerd: als je eenmaal een keuze hebt gemaakt, ga je die vanzelf leuker vinden. Menig experiment is er gedaan en de conclusie was altijd hetzelfde. Dus stel je hebt tien ...
