I’ve come to a realization: Lack of sunshine and humid days seriously affects my mood. This winter, it hit me particularly hard. Maybe it was the fact that we’ve had the coldest winter in 100 years. Or maybe because it’s the second year in a row that I haven’t taken a winter break to a [...]

Phew, Five years – that’s easily said. I first moved abroad when I was at University. Deciding to study European Business Management meant that half of my time would be spent abroad.
