  1. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.HarukiMurakami I was 18 when I heardthat I have a chronical form of Reuma. At first it was really hard. I was in a lot of pain. At a certain point I even got chemo. It alsomeantthat I couldn’t do somethings, likegoing on a language course to Spain. It was really hard and I had to go through a process of accepting.

  2. Then I decidedto focus on the thingsthat I cán do andnot on the thingsthat I can’t do.

  3. Culture I love music, but not (only) mainstream music. I love soul musicfrom the seventies andalso Amy Winehouse. Watchingmovies is somethingthat I like a lot too. I love a lot of different kind of movies, as youcanseeabove.

  4. Toodooloo motherfuckerr!! I love tolaugh!! I have a friendthat calls me ‘Mrs. Chao’.

  5. Food adventures I’m a person thatthinks a lot about life andit’smisteries, but I alsoreallyenjoy life. Part of that is enjoying a nicemeal. I am a good cooker myself, but I alsoliketo go to a nice restaurant. I especially love asian food (sushi!) and I adoresweetthings, like ice cream, candy, cookies andeverythingthatmakesyou fat!

  6. European Studies I chose tostudy European Studies becauseit’sso “actual”.

  7. I visited a lot of placesalready, most of them in Europe andAsia. Travellingto me means gettingtoknow different cultures, different places, different people…

  8. Istanbul is one of the most beautifulcitiesthat I have ever seen!

  9. In a place far awayfromanyone or anywhere, I drifted off for a moment. HarukiMurakami I reallylikeAsia. It has a special meaningfor me sincemygrandmum is a Chinese womanthatusedto live in Indonesia. Indonesia is myfavouritAsian country…

  10. Family My family means a lot to me, but sometimes I needsomedistance.

  11. My little, big sister in her home tobe. After 27 yearsshecan live on her ownfor the first time, with a little help nowandthen. Althoughit is veryscaryandexciting, for her andforus, sometimesyou have tolearnto let go. I amveryproud of her, doingthis!♥

  12. Ambition Ambition is mymiddle name. I still want to have my master, studyabroad, do voluntarywork, travel a lot beforesettling down…

  13. I went on Erasmus since I amveryinternationalmindedand I liketo get toknowother cultures.

  14. Going on Erasmus means a lot for me. I have very different and important reasonsto go on Erasmus. First of all, I wantedtobecome more independent and I wantedto take somedistancefromeverythingthat is knownandfamiliar. Second, I see Erasmus as a learningprocessformyself as a person. It’s goodforyourconfidenceto do somethinglikethis on yourown. Third I wantedto do thisbecause I knewit was goingtobe a lot of funto get toknow new people, learnCatalan… Also, the warm climateand the low stress lifestyle are reallygoodformy Reuma. Finally I wantedto prove that I could do this, aftereverythingthathappened. Beinghere is an important victoryto me!

  15. Aventures Catalanes Barcelona is a wonderfulcity. My flat is nearParcGuëlland I share itwithtwo more people, a Spanish boy and a South American girl. It is notalways easy to share a flat withtwopeopleyoudon’tknowso well, but you have to make the best of it. Further, I tryto follow classes in Catalantoo, because I thinkit’s important toadaptto the culture and the language of the placewhereyou live. Therefore I alsoliketo have Spanish friends.

  16. A bridge is beingformedbetween the Netherlands and Spain. I am more and more adaptingmyselfto the Spanish life style. Ifsomeonewouldask me right nowwhere I want to live andsettle down, I wouldanswer “Spain”. Even though I willalways have Dutch blood running throughmyvains. For instance, I still have a hard time withpeoplecoming late or missing appointments.

  17. I don’tknowwhat I want for the future or what the future has to offer me. Erasmus opened new doorsfor me, becausenowI’m thinking in takingmy master degreeabroad or even living in Spain. But at this point I amstillveryundecisive on whatroadto take.

  18. "Everybody's born with some different thing at the core of their existence. And that thing, whatever it is, becomes like a heat source that runs each person from the inside. I have one too, of course. Like everybody else. But sometimes it gets out of hand. It swells or shrinks inside me, and it shakes me up. What I'd really like to do is find a way to communicate that feeling to another person. But I can't seem to do it. They just don't get it. Of course, the problem could be that I'm not explaining it very well, but I think it's because they're not listening very well. They pretend to be listening, but they're not, really. So I get worked up sometimes, and I do some crazy things.” Haruki Murakami
