It’s not Throwback Thursday yet, but Throwback Tuesday also has a nice ring to it. A panorama of Château de Versailles, June ‘16.

A brief introduction. Permettez-moi de me présenter. Moi, je m’appelle Simon. I’m a creative-being, language student, ginger covered in freckles, but most of all a Dutchie trying to become a Frenchie. The last five years I have studied French language and culture at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Now that I am almost finished it’s time for the next step: moving to France. My goal: to become fluent in French. I expect that it will take about a year, after which I will decide on staying in Bordeaux or returning to the Netherlands to begin a Master’s degree course. I’d like to become fluent in at least five languages, score so far: 2,5/5. Dutch, my native language, English and French (I am pretty fluent, but I am a perfectionist). So far my brief introduction, it’s already pretty elaborate. ¡Hasta la próxima vez! (I also speak some Spanish, haha!). 

One of the four colossal heads carved by Olmecs (800BC). Heads measure up to 9 feet 4 inches (2.84 m) in height and weigh several tons, which causes a great deal of speculation on how the Olmecs were able to move them - basalt quarry was found over 80 km away.

Missing home.

I’m just a tad crazy.
