Well hello there!
It seems you have stumbled across my humble little blog and it only seems right to tell you a bit about myself. I am your very typical twenty-something girl/woman (I never know which to use) living and studying in the not so sunny Netherlands (Although I’m English born and bred).
This blog started a few years ago as a kind of boredom project but now it seems like an excellent place to document the trials and tribulations of being young and living in a foreign land. I’ve got huuuundreds of post so if boredom ever hits you’ll find my first post ever here and you can pretty much work your way up from there (you will need a brew to keep you company though).
So shoes off, feet up and get reading!
Love, Robyn.

Thanks for dropping by https://wdfyfe.wordpress.com I’ve looked around your blog and it sounds like you’re having a blast in Germany and yes there are more different kinds of beer than people. I’m interested in finding out what you’ll discover next. These days I’m shamelessly promoting my short stories so check out

Hi.Robyn,

Hey, Robyn, thanks for stopping in! Ah, those were the days. Remember, maturity doesn’t mean you have to grow up. Have a great time in Germany, and make the most of it–language, food, fun…

Robyn, interesting blog. It sounds like you are having a wonderful time in Germany, exploring, finding out about the people there, their culture and also more about yourself. Have fun and enjoy the differences and similarities, the food, and the diverse experiences.

Robyn, I also wanted to thank you for stopping by and visiting my blog. I look forward to reading about your journey in Germany. It can be difficult getting out there on your own, especially in a different country, but you become stronger and wiser in the end, trusting your own instincts, and learning to stand on your own two feet, as well as reaching out to friends and family. There are times when everyone needs a little help.

Robyn – For no reason in particular and then again, for too many reasons to name – I like your writing very much! It’s like a river at the source, so fresh and new and excited about the journey to the sea.
