Hello 2019! I am wishing every single one of you a happy new year and I really hope the new year gives you the opportunity for new changes and many amazing adventures. I hope it’s a year filled with happiness and spending time with your loved ones.
Secretly I think it’s a bit weird that we’re already starting a new year. It sounds a bit cliché, but it felt like 2018 had just started. Anyways, that year is in the past and it’s time to look into the future. Just 13 more days till I leave to Paris for 8 months to study and live with my boyfriend. I have no idea what to expect from school, but I am really happy to be in the French capital for quite some time. Besides that, I didn’t make any plans for the new year, but there are quite some things that I would like to do. To turn those ‘dreams’ into reality, I’ve made a bucketlist with 50 things I would like to do in 2019. Most of the topics on my list are Paris related, because I want to make those days count.\
(During the year I will keep this post up to date and cross off what I’ve done)
