Long time no post ! I’m wiping the dust from my keyboard to write this, as the last few months have had some changes to say the least. I enjoyed the last of the sun in Seattle before flying to the UK at the start of September. Most of the time was spent catching up with family and friends and preparing things for uni, and then I went over to Spain which was so lovely. I also went to Holland to visit my uncle and his wife, who moved to The Hague last year after living in Australia and it was so nice to see them and explore The Netherlands. I was able to cycle my way round The Hague but also did a day trip to Amsterdam and walked as much as I could to see as much as I could. Some of my favourite things I did whilst I was there was going to the Rembrandt museum, seeing Anne Franks house, walking along the canals, go to the Mauritshusis museum and obviously spending too much money on coffee. It was such a great few days and I cant wait to make trips more regular there (thanks Mark and Sara !!). (I put my film up from when I was there but might do a separate post on some of the things I did there).
With all the travelling that has happened, there’s also been a lot of changes as well. I’m officially a student at the university of York, and even though the move to the US was a huge life change which has helped me grow and be open to new challenges, coming back to UK to start university, while my parents and brother are all in America was hard. In a lot of ways, I was skeptical about starting here because I didn’t know if it was what I wanted, but I knew I’d regret it if I didn’t try it so here we are.
In a lot of ways, turning 20 this year seems to be different than other birthdays, because I never imagined this is what life would be like when I was turning 10. But I’m excited to see how I’ll adapt to these new changes, and I’m also liking studying again, even though I considered going into work, I know I wasn’t ready to enter the world of adulthood (lol). Anyway, here’s some pictures I neglected and forgot to put up from the summer in my last few weeks in Seattle. Niamh x
