My seventh time living and working in a different country

Remember one of my first blogs? I shared that I will soon live and work for the seventh time in a different country, a lucky number hihi. Well, I will spill the juice: I am going to move to Cologne, Germany!

I keep thinking of parfum when I see the name Cologne. Anyways It's a real city in Germany. I am sitting by the big canal that goes through the city. I find it beautiful this open and wide area where I can lay on the grass by the water. I feel at home. I know, it's crazy! I never thought Germany would be a place where I would feel at home. I mean I never imagined myself here, I did not feel drawn to the country. Honestly, I never liked the language either, I even dropped it in high school. German is messed up Dutch to me haha. But then I fell in love and now this German language I can find quite hot hihi. See me now going back to the school bench again to learn German. Yea, love made me do it.

In the beginning, I thought seriously I am going to move to the country next to the Netherlands haha what do you mean by wanting to live in a tropical environment? But I must say there is more nature here. There is no sea but lots of forest and I can't wait to make trips to different places here in Germany and to get to know more of this country. I feel curious about how my life here will unfold. I will search for a job, a transportation vehicle either a bike or scooter or I just continue with the public transport as I have been using in the Netherlands. I also feel curious about the friends I will make here because people make the place remember. I mean there is someone in particular that makes the place for me here but I want to create my own life as well.

While I lay here in the grass I feel happy and nostalgic feelings. It feels unreal this life I'm living. Now I am here, many travels, connections and adventures later and I arrive in Germany the place that feels home to me now. I would lie if I would not say that I feel slightly nervous or anxious at times. I mean there is a chance that things change or don't work out and then I am the one that will move again. But since I am a nomad by heart it is nothing I can not handle, I have done this before. Everything always works out one way or another. And they also have an airport close so escape routes are clear haha, kidding! I will keep travelling, I mean how can I not?! but Germany will become my home base. So cheers to lucky number 7 <3
