We are on our way to an adventure! Road trips are super duper fun! When was your last one? Today we are leaving for Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge with some stops in between. Have you ever been? We have lots planned, but are always welcome to other ideas. One of our traditions is that we take a photo right before we leave with all of us in the car. We are excited to go on this adventure together! #gatlinburgtennessee #stlouismissouri #roadtrip #roadtrippin #springbreak2020 #springbreak #family #familyroadtrip #familyroadtrip2020 #onourway #discoverunder2k #discoverunder5k #stlbloggers #stlbloggers #stlbloggersstyle #leavingtown #cartrip🚗 #metropolis #missouri #illinois #tennessee #smokeymountains #smokeymountainsherewecome #adventure #onanadventure #familyadventures #traditions #traditionstartshere #familytradition #familytraditions #familytraditions❤️ (at St. Louis, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ravbODDCe/?igshid=r8nv0r1si1qg

Leaving my Hometown

I never thoughed I would say those words before, but I just did. Im moving away from my beloved city Rotterdam South-Holland, The Netherlands to Sittard Limburg. Its been almost a month now.

My fiancé @jessezh and me have been looking for a place to live for almost a year and finally found something in Sittard (Limburg, Jesse’s birthplace).

Originally we applied for houses in Eindhoven, Brabant, because Jesse was going to study Photography in Venlo. 2 weeks before his first day of school he recived a letter wich said that due to a lack of new appliances his class was canceled. Jesse got three other options: The same school in Rotterdam, Amsterdam or Apeldoorn. He choose to attend the same school in my town and we started looking for houses here in R'Dam. And it was easier for my financial and medical situation at the time.

Hunting for houses in R'Dam was a nightmare. I knew this from my own experience, but I hoped we would have more luck as a couple. Nothing could be further from the truth. When we saw something we liked it was way over our budget, we would only had a chance with an eurgencycertificate, one of the tenants Had to Have a job or other appliers would get chosen over us. People who made more money or couples with kids. Cliché but true. In the worst cases the landlords or organizations said they would contact us for a viewing but never did. I found this frustrating because it gave me a feeling of being shunned. Because of Tietze Syndrome and PDD-NOS I simply can’t work a regular fulltime job and I live on wellfare. The wellfare organization officially deemed me 100% unable to work too. It seemed as if people who are physically and/or mentally unable to work have no right to rent a house, eventhough they have the money and stability to do so.

Because it didnt worked out at all looking for a house in R'Dam and the far distance Jesse had to travel to get to school every day he quit. Not long after he found a fulltime job wich he still have. Eventually we decided to look for a place closer to his work. Hunting for houses in Limburg was way easier and calmer than it was back in South-Holland. When promises were made with homeowners and organizations they kept them. And finally Jesse found a place in the center of his own town a month ago. I was shocked at first because I toughed we’ve had to go trough all kinds of official stuff to arrange it, but it was pretty easy. I’m very happy about it.

He got here earlier to put some stuff into our place. The first week we spent together and at our house. I brought some stuff with me from home to make it more look like a real Lovenest Hihi ^_^. My grandparents even gave us a TV! We don’t have Wi-Fi or Cable yet, but we do have internet on our phones and a PS3 so its fine for now. I don’t miss it either.

For now because of my financial situation and medicine I go back to R'Dam often. Im here for the weeks Jesse has to work his morningshift. When he works at night we are both at our parents houses. For the time being its a 50/50 situation. Its easier for him because its closer to his job. So im here every other week. It is our intention that we both stay permanently. Its a start. By the way, im not scared about medication trouble anymore wich Ive had way to much in R'Dam. There were not enough painkillers so I called to ask if with a prescription from home I could get some at the local pharmacy. They are WAY nicer and way more helpfull here. They even deliverd them at our house.

When we first got here I was almost sure I would be sad about moving away. Im proud to be from R'Dam. On the other hand there was so much negativity in my life when I lived there so its nice to get miles away from it. Sittard is a much smaller place but it has everything you need closeby. Since we live in the Towncenter almost everything is a few steps from out the door and the trainstation is just 6 minutes away. Living here with the man I love the most is also the greatest feeling ever. Its a long road ahead, but I feel very optimistic ♡.

Dat is op het nippertje, toen minuten later en de stadspoorten waren dicht geweest. Had ik de nacht door moeten brengen in de regen, op straat. Het is wat, zo'n middeleeuwse stad als geboorteplaats... . . #buonasera #bonsoir #goodnight #leavingtown #zutphen #travel #travellife #travelphotography #stationtostation #trainstation #onmyway #wednesday #evening (bij Zutphen railway station)

Stop thinking so hard about everything, stop over analyzing. If it feels wrong, don't think about it anymore and walk away, because no one says you should stay. Ciao! . . . #walkaway #leavingtown #nomadlife #igerskortrijk #igkortrijk (at Buda, Kortrijk)

The Way Out

The Way Out

Zack and I decided, on our way out, we would visit one last attraction in the Denver area before concluding our business: the Red Rocks Amphitheater thingy. There wasn’t... well, I didn’t think there was that much worth noting at the place, but I took some pictures, so you all wouldn’t be bored. Here are a few:

This is what people in Denver do for fun? They create terrifying hybrid animals and call it “extreme”? Sick!

Oh, the rocks ARE red: I get it. 

Dummy, probably doubting the authenticity of my statement about the color of said rocks (despite the signage behind him).

The actual amphitheater itself was honestly pretty bland (there was no concert, no show... just a bunch of bleachers). There was, however, a pretty cool little space museum inside! However, the only pictures I can find from said museum were these: 

In case it wasn’t clear before why I thought having someone with a mind geared toward photography was a good idea, this should probably sum it up. 

Leaving Denver, I remembered that Melissa turned us on to this castle she had heard about or been to (I can’t remember which). I’ve never been to a castle, so we decided to drive a couple hours out of the way to check it out. It turned out to be a damn fine decision (thanks again, Melissa). It kinda begs for its own entry, so you’ll have to wait for the next one to see. See you soon, mega-castle. UP NEXT: The Castle.
