27 Mar 2011From the 19th till the 26th of march I went to London. I went there to visit friends, but even more so to look for work and network with people.

I really started missing it so I figured it was time for a run around Gobabis. An extra motivation for me is that I was curious what I would come across while doing this. [...]

In 2008 I studied and lived in Turkey for about 8 months. I was a participant of the Erasmus Student Network (ESN), an exchange program that gives students the oppurtunity to study in a foreign country. I chose to do this in Eskisehir (Eski = Old, Sehir = city), Turkey. In Eskisehir I studied at [...]
