Hannover
Between my last published blog post and now, a lot has
happened. After a summer spent jobbing at home, catching up with old friends
and two short trips to some of my favourite places, August suddenly rolled
around and with it came my cue to pack up my life and move to a new place to
start a new experience. Mid-August, I once again packed up my many pairs of
shoes (I can see my dad rolling his eyes at me just by thinking of it), cook
books and a couple of pots and pans and moved to Amsterdam to start a Master’s
degree.
Almost three months later, I can say I’ve slowly settled
into the new city, made friends with new people and (more or less) adapted to
the busy student life (again). Even though the focus of my studies is new
media, I’ve ironically felt uninspired when it comes to blogging, which I kept
re-directing to the fact that I had to write blog posts as a form of
assignment, so I didn’t want to be writing them in my free time, too. Ahem.
As so often, blogging inspiration comes and goes, and more
often than not, my blogging motivation is influenced by the people around me.
With a couple of days off after an intense first seven weeks of Uni last week,
I jumped on a train to go visit my ex-roomie/live-in blogger Céline in Germany
which resulted in a weekend with too much talking (just kidding, no such thing
exists), a little bit too much booze and three new German cities to add to my
list of places I’ve been to.
Sometimes, it seems all I need to start writing,
photographing, documenting again, is a weekend trip away. With that being said,
I thought I’d start my attempt at regular updating again with a couple of
insights of what I did in Germany, and more precisely, what I got up to in
Göttingen, Bremen and Hannover, even if I only spent about a day in each city.
