Home Sweet Home

Hello again, this time from a little different scenery in the middle of some sunshine at home in the Netherlands. After a safe flight on Thursday, I was warmly welcomed by my family at the airport and shortly after arriving home I took a hot shower, wrapped myself in a bathrobe and slipped into the sheets of the most comfortable bed ever. I slept like a little baby.

After 5 months living abroad in Rome, I unfortunately had to say goodbye (for now, because I'll be back for sure!) to the beautiful city, my new friends and my internship company. This era can be considered as one of the best periods of my life so far. Rome has made me fall in love with its beauty, the food, the Italian culture, the people, the 'La Dolce Vita' atmosphere.. Everything was perfect. I already miss the city and my friends like crazy. I miss even the busy roads, the loud sirens of the ambulances and the irritated, but fashionable, Italians who keep pushing the horns of their cars. But most of all, I miss living my life there with the people I met and spent my time with. From the stress moments at work to drinking cocktails at a bar.. From enjoying Italian dinners to the crazy parties and the exciting World Cup games.. Without my new friends it wouldn't have been this amazing. I want to thank every single person I've met for making my time in Rome complete. Grazie mille a tutti!

Next week will be exciting as graduation is coming really close. In a couple of days I'll have to do my final presentation of my Bachelor thesis and I have to hand in my internship report. While awaiting the results, I'll probably relax and try to get used to my old habits. If that's even possible...
