Welcome to my new blog!

Posted on April 11, 2018April 12, 2018

It took a little push from my husband. Okay, more like a kick in the butt. But I/we did it: I/we bought the domain name “wonderoftheday”. Can you believe it was still free? There I was, all ready for a new blog. Except I wasn’t, because it takes time and energy to write, and after […]

About This Site

Have you ever dreamed about living abroad? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to start a new life in a new country? I have done it. Twice. With my husband and kids. His academic career as the only guideline. All those impressions, all those experiences, all those thoughts, about those experiences, or life in general. I serve you the good, the bad, and the ugly of my life abroad. With a hint of philosophy as my preferable coping method.

About Me

Hi, I am Annelies, a cat person, married to a dog person, Frederik, who I met during my PhD in Philosophy. He is a nuclear physicist and a great father to our two kids. Janne was one and a half when we moved from Leuven, Belgium, to Seattle, USA, in 2011. We had a great time and our son there. In 2015, we moved again, this time, to Mommenheim, Germany, a traditional wine village near the city of Mainz.
I am great at DIY's, not so great in dealing with bad news or losing board games, but who is? Really? I love crafting and writing, the first being my yoga, the latter my therapy. Unfriendly and rude people upset me, which is why I end up writing about them more than I want to.
