A bit over a month ago I made a big decision to jump without a parachute. I resigned from my job, resigned from my apartment without any backup plan what so ever. I was surprised when no one told me I was crazy, or mad, or that I was taking a huge risk. Instead I got support, encouragement, admiration and love. And now, almost four years after I arrived in Brussels, it is time to pack my bags and welcome a new exciting period in life. A new job. A new country. A new green, rainy, lovely chapter in life.

During my Brussels years I’ve got to know some of the most amazing, wonderful people I’ve ever met in my life. From each and every one of them I’ve learned so much, shared laughs and tears and so many memorable moments. And for the past week I’ve received so many beautiful words and messages. I wish that all my friends know how much they mean to me and how lucky I am to have them in my life. There is so much love around and sometimes I feel that I cannot give back as much as I receive. These people walk beside me into battle; toast with me in victory or bandage my wounds in defeat.

I WILL MISS YOU.
