Buds of Spring.

I got a little bored this morning, and decided to superimpose two photos that I took of the view of Maastricht from my room window while on exchange. 

It showcases the changing of seasons from Winter to Spring. 

And that's just me, with a little too much free time on my hands. 

Travelogue - Maastricht, Netherlands

Where do I begin. Maastricht was my home for 5 months. I have so many precious memories associated with this small town. New friends, new experiences and self discovery. 

Maastricht is located along the River Mass, in the Southern part of a Dutch province called Limburg. The city was developed by the Romans and has such a deep history and culture. It was also the city where the European Union was formed and also where the famous Maastricht Treaty was signed. 

I first arrived in Maastricht at the end of January. It started snowing the day I landed in Holland. Having never seen snow prior to this, it was a definite sight. That day also marked the start of my exchange in Maastricht University. 

I got to experience winter in Maastricht. It was like living in a winter wonderland. The view from my room window was something that I didn't mind waking up to daily. 

Getting Started.

It's the end of week 11 of school, and I should be busy rushing projects out and preparing for presentations. But in the midst off all this chaos, I find myself wanting to write. 

I've always enjoy writing since young, just never enough to actually try to make something of it. So here is my attempt to combine some of the things I love into one space, namely travel, instagram-ing and writing. 

I'll be back with more soon! Till then, I leave you with a picture of a place I miss very much.
