After over two years of living out of my backpack, I now live in this house in Cambridge, England. It’s awesome. I can’t begin to express how nice it was to unpack all of my things after so long. Or to have my own bed.
I’ll be here for one year doing an MPhil in Engineering for Sustainable Development (so my technology- and development-related posts will most definitely continue!). I’ve been here for a week and a half already and there’s an overwhelming amount of things to do: meet people in my College, meet people in my course, join societies, make my room feel like my home, buy a bike, start attending lectures, etc, etc. Hopefully things will settle down into a rhythm soon. But for now, I’m simply enjoying all that Cambridge has to offer!

Hi Jackie,
Looks like you have started your new adventure in England…good luck! Let me know next time you are in Belgium, if you like, we could go climing/mountainbiking together (yeah, great hobbies
)
Best of luck,
Sophie

I feel jealous. I think I am reaching that point where the need for my own bed is starting to assert itself!
hope to cross roads soon enough.
