If you told me a couple of years ago that I would spend a year without having my feet on Dutch soil I would have laughed at you. Well, in about a week I have been outside my country of birth for 365 days. Scary.
But when that realisation got through, it felt like it was less than a year. I blame Skype. I really do, it makes it so easy to not only talk but also see each other. But in the end, it does not compare with "just showing up"™.
