Where

Update, 1st of September, 2014:

Currently, I am in the hygge city of Aarhus, in Denmark. Originally, I'm from a small town in the Netherlands. I've lived in The Hague in the Netherlands as well as in Prague, Czech Republic. Living abroad and gaping at local culture is a source of continuous enjoyment for me and I hope to continue that in the future, preferably somewhere in one of the far Eastern latitudes.

Update, 15th of June, 2015:

Today I will be moving out of my room in Aarhus. It was a great time but as it stands now, I won't be returning until early next year, depending on which internship I manage to obtain. I will be back in the Netherlands for ten days, before moving off to Vilnius to spend the summer there, for an indeterminate amount of time.

Update, 21st of July, 2015:

Well, it seems decided. After an internship possibility in Copenhagen fell through (and a great summer in Vilnius), I accepted an internship in the Hague, from roughly half of August until half of January. It'll be good to come back to the Hague. I hope.

Update, 23rd of March, 2016:

Back in Aarhus! Plenty of writing, but more of the thesis kind, rather than the faux-literature kind. In any case, I hope to be able to add some more updates once I get into a thesis writing rhythm. The plan for the immediate future is to remain here until summer, with a large possibility of moving to Brussels thereafter.

Update, 22nd of February, 2017:
Life brought me to Brussels. A city judged by Houellebecq to be both filthy, disgusting, and fit for a civil war. For now, I'm just trying to find work, learn some French, read books, and do some writing. Perhaps the city will grow on me.  

Update, 29th of November, 2019:
A couple years on, I can say that I'm gainfully employed and my French has improved, now reaching comfortably beyond the level of 'Lady Marmelade'. When it comes to other endeavors, let's just say that I've been more lazy than I wanted to be.

Update, 1st of February 2022:

Year 3 of the pandemic. After one-and-a-half bouts with Covid, I can thankfully say I'm still alive. I'm also still in Brussels, which is a fact that also continues to be a question. I'm approaching 33, maybe I want to buy a place. Or not, and stay a self-proclaimed nomad, with only a hint of irony. 

Update, 4th of December 2022:

A couple of months ago I moved to Vilnius, Lithuania and by now, winter has arrived with a vengeance. We actually bought a place this time around. Life is not bad, though it's quite a change from Brussels. Let's see if this city inspires me to write more.

Update, 10th of October 2023:

Berlin, Berlin, nie wieder nach Berlin! Aah, Eurotrip, what a movie. In any case, I have never stabbed a woman, certainly not in Berlin, so I can come here without issue. I have been living here since late July for a new job and still catching my breath.
