Today I was moving out of Melsbroek and spent one last day with my friend / the second volunteer from the NMSC and together we explored Antwerp! At 8.30AM my alarm clock is ringing and I’m way to tired to get up, so I snooze it way to often and now the time is running. My…
I’m writing this before I have to go one last time to work and end with this my EVS after 8 months of ups and downs! But wait, wasn’t she going to stay one year in Belgium? – Yes, I was! Let me explain it for you! Several reasons, from worrying about my health to…
What a stressful week.. There is no other description for it than that. It all started Monday after a weekend at my boyfriends place when I had to go directly from Oostende to Leuven for my last Dutch exam. Luckily everything went well with my exam so I went back to Melsbroek and finished packing my…
How much bad luck can a person have in one weekend?? My best friend visited me and this weekend was so chaotic that we’ll even talk about it in years! It all began with me picking her up from the airport Zaventeem. I waited there around a half hour and it was really nice to…
This weekend I’ve had two friends from Eupen at my place. We had a great weekend with exploring Brussels, visiting the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences and more.

They showed be a bit around, starting with the Eupen Plaza,…
You could also say “Meeting kind of a new family”! So I had my On-Arrival-Training from 22.September until 27.September in Dilbeek and it all started good with me staying in the train, listening to the ticket inspector who’s telling me that I’ve got the wrong ticket. (I still don’t get the Belgian public transport system but…
… maar mijn Nederlands is niet goed genoeg voor een blog post alleen in Nederlands. That’s why I’ll continue in English now. So.. It has been exactly two month since I arrived in Melsbroek and started my European voluntary service. I’m really happy that I’ve made the decision of leaving Germany for one year. In…
Brugge, Ostende and Brussels in two days. Because one city would be too easy.. It all started with meeting a new guy at my corridor and wanderlust. (Could we take a moment to talk about the fact, that “wanderlust” is from origin a German word which is used in the English language??) So there is…
So my first city trip had the destination Brussels. It was quit a spontaneous idea but it was really worth it and it won’t be the last time that I’ll be in Brussels, especially because it’s just 12km from where I live! I went to Brussels Central and when I got out of the train…
