Sep 20 - No News is Good News

Last time I wrote was exactly 1.5 years ago. Obviously consistency isn't my strong suit.


The previous year was unbelievably amazing, almost too good to be true if I may say so myself, especially in forming the unison between my personal and professional lives.

- May 1, 2021, I arrived in the Netherlands as a resident, not a tourist.

- June 20, 2021, was my first working day at Ultimaker, a global 3D printer manufacturer.

- July 1, 2021, Luis and I moved to the prettiest bungalow (1-floor house / no-neighbor apartment).

- July 20, 2021, colleagues at Korn Ferry EMEA reached out to ask me to rejoin the team, based in NL.

- August 24, 2021, was our 8th year anniversary. To think that this blog has existed since August 2013!!

- September 2021, we did a big BeNeLux + Germany road trip visiting places and friends and families.

- November 1, 2021, I rejoined Korn Ferry, where I've been for almost a year now.


This year we're getting even more organized in terms of stuff to do around the house, plannings and types of houses we should go after. On the latter, we have placed offers on 4 different houses, all of our 'overbiddings' were too low, but that's a story for another day. 

Luis hangs out with my parents on video call every 2 days if not daily. I have over 140 dinner ideas, mostly yummy things we could make from scratch. We reserve Saturday early mornings to run errands and Sunday evenings to cuddle on the sofa watching each other's favorite movies.


Life is tough and everyone fights their own battles, but when God blesses, He goes ham.
