About Me!

A brief description of myself, where I'm from, and what I'm doing in the Netherlands. Also included is a small description of the Netherlands.

Estonia: A Winter Capital of Europe

Tartu, Estonia sits at coordinates 58.3780° N, 26.7290° E, making it one of the most northerly cities in Europe! It is cold and snowing here all fall and winter, making for pretty holidays!

Where am I?

Where in the world am I? I'm in Utrecht this week - the city where I'm living this year! 

New Year Celebrations and the Arrival of Snow

Prishtina, Kosovo welcomed the New Year with fireworks, festivities and... a lot of snow! I wondered what the winters would be like when I left home. This week, I found out.

Mirëmbrëma (Good Evening) from Prishtina!

Where is Kosovo, and how did I end up here? It's a long story, so it's a good thing we have time! I'm Lauren, and I'm excited to get to know you and show you the beautiful country I'm calling home!

New Year with New Adventures

I just returned to the Netherlands from a vacation in Italy and Switzerland! I'm happy to be back in my adopted home country for another six months, and I can't wait to show you around.

All Aboard!

Planes, trains and automobiles... but what else? How do folks get around in Germany? 

Adventures During the Holidays

I had a lot of great experiences between Christmas and the new year, from watching a Japanese play to hiking a 2000-year-old pilgrimage route to experiencing the New Year temple visit.

Who Am I?

Konnichiwa (Hello)! My name is Amal and I am doing robotics research in Kyoto, Japan. I am also exploring Japan's culture, food and nature. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you.

Traveling By Crane

Getting around Antarctica is not very easy, and it requires a lot of exciting, unusual modes of transportation. That's part of the excitement of expeditions!
