walk the line

   April 2024. How many years have we been going to Brussels regularly? It was always just a few hours away. Finally made it!

   January 2024

Another work event took us to Paris for a conference and a EU Presidency EJN meeting. Paris is always beautiful! The weather was very spring-like and welcoming. It was obviously hard to fully enjoy the trip as the timing of it fell in the middle of the start of war in Ukraine. 

November 2021, an extended work trip to Brussels after 1 year and 9 months felt absolutely amazing. Visited Ghent in Belgium and Lille in France during the weekend as well and enjoyed the absolutely beautiful sunny weather that we were given in mid-November. Mostly it has been more rain even in March or April.

If I would be a travel-bloger I would be a terrible one, as posts about my travels come two months after the trip.  In the beginning of May when I was over-exhausted with school and work and everything else, a short getaway to warmth and sunshine was well-needed.

Happy new year, may it become an unforgettable one!

I had my doubts in the beginning, but it was an excellent experience. We were not just participants or group leaders, we all were in a way also the organizers and modelers of the exchange. As it was by a volunteer organization, we had a lot of freedom, and I really believe in the end the work we did, matters.
