1917- The Movie That Takes You to the Trenches So with my third years (I am a teacher) I am doing some classes on WW I and I was in need of a replacement for All Quiet on the Western Front from 1979. I wanted to check out 1917 to see if it would be worthy replacement and man... 1917 is INSANE! So well made, such amazing cinematography! If you have not seen it yet, go! The Story So the story takes place in... 1917, what a surprise. We are nearing the end of the fighting in WW…

A Weekend in the Indian Summer As Murphy's Law predicts: the summer always starts when you have to go back to work. After five weeks of vacation, of which four were wet and grim I am back at work and the sun has decided to come back as well. But then there is: the weekend! So I decided to spend the majority of the weekend outside enjoying this glorious sunshine! Time to Rock the Boat We had a friend coming over to visit us in Alkmaar where we just moved to and she wanted to…

Puerto Rico: More to This Island Than Meets The Eye When I was studying in Canada on exchange we had fall break and when you are already on the other side of the globe, why not choose a destination that would otherwise be too far? We wanted to get out of the Canadian cold and go somewhere warm and as poor students the destination also had to be affordable: Puerto Rico it was! Though we did not do a lot of research before we left, this island left me amazed! It is a gorgeous…

My Road to Fitness- Week 1!! I am finally doing it! I am embarking on this journey to loose some weight (corona kilo's), get fitter, healthier and happier! And I would love to share it with you all on the blockchain of course for some much needed support and advice! Why am I doing this? I've been pretty fit until about 1.5 years ago, love climbing, walking, cycling and mostly being outdoors. When the pandemic hit everything changed and I became a couch potato... I gained…

An Extremely Unlikely Encounter Sitting on the couch with my partner playing computer games 3 meters away from me, I sometimes think back about how we met and how incredibly unlikely our meeting really was. I would love to take you along on this unlikely love story of ours. A Girl and a Boy In the winter of 2018 I was single and living my life when I was unfortunate enough to have a really bad climbing accident that left me with an ankle broken in 6 bits, all tendons torn…

A Weekend of Silence Usually I start these kind of posts with ah what a weekend it's been or telling about all the stuff that I did. I like to keep my weekends active, doing things with friends or experiencing things. This weekend was a bit different... Off to a good start On Saturday I decided to tackle something I have been meaning to start for a while but haven't. As I have gained many corona lockdown kilo's that have been rather reluctant to fall off my body liked I…

Fantasy Premier League: Gameweek 4 After a break for international football we are back this week! For those of you not familiar with Fantasy Football: you make your own team consisting of players in the Premier League. You are on a budget of course and so you must make smart choices.

Life is a Beach Hi everyone, I hope you had a great weekend! Mine inspired me to use the quote ' life is a beach' because well, life can be a lot of fun! The Beach So I have just started a new job a month ago and this past Friday it was time for the work party! So nice that we can finally do this again, getting together and having fun, instead of trying to teach from behind a computer screen. So we went to the beach near Schoorl. If you are ever in the Netherlands, go there!…

Torum: Social Media for Crypto Enthusiasts This weekend on Noise somebody was talking about Torum and I had no idea what it was. When I went to research I was surprised that there was this social media platform based on crypto that I had missed entirely! I can't imagine I am the only one that missed it, so I wrote this introduction to Torum! What is Torum? Torum is a social platform, not unlike facebook, but then focussed solely on crypto. You have a profile with a newsfeed…

Oldschool Weekend Hi all weekenders! I had a weekend that reminded me of the old days, and it was pretty great!

We were not the only ones as it was busy on the streets and in the restaurants, creating a great…

My First Steps in the WAXey world of NFT's So I hear a lot of crypto peeps talking about NFT's and what they are doing on the WAX blockchain. And I would nod and smile I have absolutely no clue what these people were talking about. But as I am a big girl and independent woman, I decided to figure it out and get started! What is WAX? So WAX is a blockchain for NFTs, so you can send and receive Non-Fungible Tokens there. It also hosts a plethora of dApps or different…
