Wow! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen myself here writing to you. Meanwhile, I’ve kept quite busy. In my Master’s program, I typically have 2 classes per week which are 3 hours each. That leaves me a lot of free time which I was pretty scared I would waste. Luckily, I have learned […]
Well, I have spent nearly 6 weeks in Dundee now. I have seen the city, around the city, some parts of the out skirts. But as a person who is new to the whole European Continent, I really really wanted to discover the country, the continent, and force myself to do stuff I would otherwise […]

I have been fortunate enough to meet so many lovely people through – my course, Christian Union and general socialising. In between binging on Netflix whilst in my flat and skyping my […]
