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.
