December 10, 2016 – December 11, 2016 There’s nothing like a good tacky Christmas sweater party with the rowdiest bunch of accountants and trip to the Christmas markets to get you in the mood for the holidays. (Oh, and Glühwein, lots of Glühwein, but I’ll get to that part later). Especially since we are deciding to…
Time Flies When You’re Having Fun
Well, I can’t believe that we’ve lived in this beautiful city for over a month now! It is such a great place to call home. The other day while I was talking with my family on FaceTime they were asking me to describe differences between the Netherlands and the US. This inspired me to really…

Welcome to Amsterdam
