"I'm a German Netherlands-loving master student that did her bachelor in beautiful Maastricht at the University College and is now exploring cozy Wageningen and its stunning surroundings.

The distance between Cologne, my hometown and Berlin is approximately 573 km. That’s about 6 hours in the care, nerve wrecking 4 to 14 hours in a train of the Deutsche Bahn or if you’re lucky (and an affluent student), one hour in a plane. Imagine someone in cologne saying…
