Yesterday one of the girls said that it was a little hard to leave the Netherlands when she came to America, but that it’ll be a lot harder to leave the America again. Today in the bus I was thinking about what she said and I’m sure she’s right. Leaving the Netherlands is actually not […]
Today was another great holiday. I went with a boat to some of the islands at the coast of Boston. The weather was perfect today, sunny and about 32° Celcius. While I was on the boat I heard two nice girls talking Dutch so asked if they were from Holland too. Obviously they were too […]
This morning I had breakfast with the guy I’m staying with these days and he happened to be Dutch too. He lives for a couple of years in the US and surprised me this morning with hagelslag (typical Dutch, if you don’t know: just google it) on bread for breakfast 🙂 After having breakfast together […]
Another thing on my list was the famous cube of glass above the Apple Store at Fifth avenue. But like I wasn’t disappointed enough by Apple this year, the cube of glass was in construction and what was left was just a boring Apple store. So after two minutes I left Fifth avenue again, bought […]
Today I visited a place that was high on my list of things to see. I went to the American Museum of National History. If you’ve seen the movie ‘Night at the museum‘: except from everything coming alive, it’s absolutely just as awesome as in the movie. I think this is the largest museum I’ve […]
Last year I read in a book that New Yorkers are really friendly people. After three days in the Big Apple I can only say that’s absolutely true. You only have to get your map from your pocket and someone will ask you if you need help. When I asked for help, so far everyone […]
I didn’t expect to get a jet lack, but around 04.00am I was completely awake again, although I was still tired. I laid awake in my bed for a while and then thought ‘Why not just get up, it’s the city that never sleeps anyway’. So after a fresh shower I found myself around 05.00am […]
Before you continue reading my first blogpost from the States I just want to mention that I didn’t had so many hours of sleep last night, so you could probably see that back in the quality of my writing, but that means it’s only getting better in the next couple of weeks… eeh months 😀 […]
In less than a month I’ll be arriving in New York. Time is moving fast these days. It’s really exciting! There are some interesting things going on these days. I learned more than ever the importance of a good network. I was still thinking about where to stay in NY and a couple of weeks […]
A week ago I bought my ticket. This week I got my ESTA-approval (required for visiting the USA) and I’m still quite busy with a lot of different things to organize for my new adventure. Today I launched this new website which I will use to keep everyone up-to-date about my journey. I also created […]
