Crisp Skin

Despite the fact that I am living in a mass of ship containers that I was made to believe was designed into student housing to originally last a mere 5 years and is now bordering on 15, I couldn't be happier about the location. Stavangerweg is west of the city and about a 15 minute cycle into the city center. I remember being  relieved that I was staying by myself in a minimilistic and rather empty long rectangular container because I believed it would result in me heading out into the city more frequently than I would have had I been in a house constantly surrounded by other people. Yet now I find myself spending more and more time in close proximity to my container. I have been placed on the same floor with a neighbour with an open-door policy and I live 20 meters away from one of Amsterdams little 'beaches' (Strand-West) aswell as two piers on water which is swimmer friendly - All factors contributing to Stavangerweg and its surroundings becoming more of a home-base. Hence, this morning at 8am I walked myself to the pier, broke the surface of the water on this beautiful sunny morning, and just soaked it all in. Reminding myself. So I welcome the day with wet hair, crisp skin and a clear mind.

Good Morning Amsterdam.

Turning twenty in Amsterdam was also certainly not underrated. Live music and good company. The epitome of a great night.

Blessed with a beautiful birthday morning. 

Smiles too big. 

Cultured.
