The Netherlands



Almost two months! This is for sure the longest time without any update in my blog. So what happened during these two months?

Well, I think it's quite a long list of events I'd like to talk about!

In June I spent a week of holidays in Italy, and I went for the weekend near Naples, where my grandmother lives. I really would like to create a special post for that weekend, so more about it later.

Then in July I was contacted for a job offer (and this is the main reason that kept me off the blog) and here you go.

NOW I LIVE IN THE NETHERLANDS!

I left my previous employer and I started a new job in the same technology area I used to work. But this time I will not have to travel, which I think it's good, so I will be able to have a more stable lifestyle and I will visit my girlfriend more often (she lives in Paris). You're free to quote this sentence when I will start complaining about lack of traveling in my new job! ;)

Of course, a change of country brings a lot of other changes too! I had to plan a move (and it wasn't easy, believe me), try to sell my furniture (which I managed to do!) and find a new flat in The Netherlands.

But now I'm here, and I like it! A live in an area of The Hague called Scheveningen. It's a very nice looking street, with only two floors building and it's very quiet and peaceful. It's only 10-15 minutes far from the sea as you can see from this map.

Yesterday I went walking on the beach with a colleague and I took some picture. Here you can see how many windsurfs and kitesurfs there were in the sea. It was really windy, but really great.



I really enjoyed walking and talking on the beach. It was very nice. In the evening we had a nice Argentinian dinner and we went home pretty early. For the whole week we slept about 6 hours a day because we were commuting to a different city. 4 extra hours every day.

I spent today doing laundry and answering emails and planning my trip from Italy to here with my motorbike. I bought a one-way ticket to Italy and I plan to drive back with my motorbike. So finally, after 17 months, I will start using my motorbike again! Great!

Enjoy!
