Greetings from the U. S. of A! It took about 26 horribly exhausting hours to get here, but I made it! I had a 6 and a half hour layover at JFK New York, which was extended to about 8 hours because my flight was delayed. Trust me, 8 hours is a long, long time [...]

It’s 5:16 in the morning as I write this… Yep I can’t sleep anymore! I made it til 8:30 (which felt like 2:30 pm for me) last night before I crashed… I hate jetlag… Yesterday I woke up at 6 in the morning to get ready to leave for the airport at 8. We ran [...]

Posted by Emma | Filed under Memory Lane, Traveling, USA
Even though this trip happened two years ago, in the summer of 2009 to be exact, it is still the most amazing trip I have ever taken! New York has since been my very favorite place on earth, and I loved every single step I took while there, even the ones in the bad part [...]

About Me
Welcome to my blog Getting There & Going Places! My name is Emma, and I am a 22 year old psychology student living in Maastricht, a city in the Netherlands. Moving away from home last year to the other side of the country (even though it's a tiny country) marked the beginning of a lifestyle change for me. Follow me as I work hard to change my life and become a healthier person in body and mind. I'm definitely not there yet, but I am confident I'm getting there and eventually going places!
