Eindhoven

Like Brussels, the move to Eindhoven was a little unexpected. I’d only ever been once in 2016 when I was looking around for places to move to. I landed there, stayed for a couple of days and then got the train onwards to Cologne. Fate has a very funny way of bringing you back to things because I stayed in Strip-S, the neighbourhood I’ve spent most of my time living. I took a walk into the centre and headed south of the city crossing the ring road I used to drive very day between the University and the High Tech Campus. I’d visited all of the places I’d end up being in and around just three years after that trip when I left Brussels. PAGE IN DRAFT.

Nature is everywhere in an around such a small city. You may as well be in the countryside.

I put 25,000 kilometeres on my electric bike and 6,000-7,000 on the other one.

Even the city, lacking in man made beauty had wonderful expansive skies.
