Living and Learning In Leiden.

Having recently completed my first year of Uni, 😃  I can't help but think back to when it all began - when I went to pick up my passport from the Dutch embassy in Nairobi, and it slowly dawned on me that in exactly one month, I'd be moving to a completely new country for the next few years! 😄 I remember feeling nervous and excited all at the same time. 

The Netherlands is such a beautiful country, and I can't think of a better place for me to have chosen to complete my studies. Leiden, especially - which is where I have been living for the past year or so - is a lovely city filled with friendly people who are always willing to help. And I'm not just saying that - it's true! Even as I was writing this post, I could think of the many times people have been so quick to come to my aid  when I needed assistance. 😊
During my first year at Uni. I lived in the dorms, and had (in my opinion) the best view of Leiden from my window. The dorms face one of the canals here, and a few of the bigger boats that I've seen since I moved here are docked right opposite my window. They are the first thing I see when I draw my curtains open in the morning, and the last thing I see when I draw them shut in the evenings. I can't think of a better way start and end my day than that!🚤🚤​🚤
