Carnaval in The Netherlands

Hello there, I thought a good post would be to share the crazy, absurd experience that is Carnaval here in The Netherlands.

Heartbreak hotel, degree in the making and oh I live in the Netherlands now…

So it's been a while, I'm not going to ignore the elephant in the room so I'll just come out and say OMG guys I'm so sorry for abandoning you. But I have some reasoning, it has been a roller coaster since last summer. In summer 2016 I had the delightful experience of my life completely…
