Currently sat on the balcony of my beautiful apartment. The sun is shining and I’m wondering whether I need to get my sun cream out. Turning a quarter of a century old has definitely given me time to think of some things I am proud of so far in life.
Passed my driving test… 3rd time. Wow I remember being so nervous for this! The first time I failed due to hitting the curb while trying to park and second because I pulled out of a junction in front of a slow tractor that was apparently too close. No one wants to get stuck behind a slow tractor.
I left home at 18, not just around the corner but to a whole new country. This year I’ll be celebrating 6 years in the Netherlands (and deciding whether to become a Dutch citizen depending on Brexit).
Learnt Dutch, although consequently losing all my French and even some English!
I have a caring, trustworthy and not to forget HANDSOME partner who shares the same tastes in food, interests like music and travel, and can have a really good discussion.
I ran 10km at the Rotterdam Marathon in 2016. Pretty amazing achievement for me!
Plus I am more active than ever, with up to 4 days in the gym follwing a fitness programme and easily reaching my 10k steps every day using my Fitbit.
I’ve rode a bike since I was little, but have acquired the skills to cycle with two children on front and back, with an IKEA 4×4 Kallax and up to 6 full bags of shopping. Not all in one go of course!
I’ve become less fussy with food. Like there is fussy and there is MAJOR fussy, which was me, so this is pretty big. I grew up only liking potato waffles and fish fingers. These days I still surprise my family with what I eat!
I’ve NEARLY completed my bachelor degree in International Business and Management Studies, how exciting!
I have been to more than 15 countries. Even with little money over the years it’s always been possible to explore! Check some places I’ve visited here.
Goals before turning 26…. (and 27, 28, 29 and 30)
Travel more! maybe a place from the list of future travels.
Receive my degree, hopefully by July 2017! -> Wohoo graduated!
Learn to make more delicious meals.
Keep up the fitness goals -> New road bike hobby!
