FunConcertsFutureDownUnder...

Time flies when you're having fun eh?! Well i think that's definitely the case for me lately, not only am i busybusybusy with my job also i have been occupied with going to concerts, a bit of partying, a business trip to Melbourne & making plans for the future .

Future plans are very exciting, but mean i really have to put myself on a budget right now...i spend too much money on stupid things! Future plans are also something i don't want to write too much about yet, if you want to know i'll gladly tell you in person (or e-mail :P) but right now i feel like i'm jinxing my plan/dream if i scream it out too loud.

Concerts...yes lots of them Mêlée, Sneaky Sound System, Saybia, Maria Mena....they were all great! And my new addiction is to film some songs during each song, if you want to have a look just click on my youtube films on the left.

And so i have also been Down Under again, my boss asked me to participate in an Agent Training Week at the Monash University in Melbourne...well you don't say no to your boss in those cases do you?! ;) Will post links to the photos of that trip soon!

Here's just a couple of photos from concerts & the Melbourne trip to end this blog with....


Nighttime in Melbourne


Tine, Nicole & me with Melbourne behind us

Sneaky Sound System at Paradiso Amsterdam, yes i was front row!


Binkie's still with me too...or is he?!


Saybia was wonderful!


And Maria Mena at Paradiso was magic, goose bumps all night!

Lykke Li live

Wednesday was the night I finally saw Lykke Li live in Paradiso (Amsterdam), after waiting for some months. And it was sooooooo worth the wait, she had everybody dancing from the start and definitely knows how to pull a good show!

She was playing in the small room upstairs in Paradiso & it was sold out! Not that weird considering she's being hyped in some magazines and apparently did a great performance at the Lowlands festival in August. Fun thing was that I had someone asking me how to get a ticket on Facebook and there were people asking us if we had a spare ticket in front of the door...hehe...but she's coming back, on december 6th...doing a concert at 01:00 at night which is actually the 7th then, which makes it my b-day....i should go again!!!




















Tonight it's another gig, Melee! And somehow i managed to win a meet&greet for this one haha! Kinda weird, i'm not calling myself a fan of them & i have actually met them before (at the Rockin'Par festival when they were watching Counting Crows almost next to us after their own show there), but it's gonna be fun!

I'm off to Oslo tomorrow morning, have to do some networking with uni contact's at the KILROY roadshow there. Flying home again Sunday afternoon, am meeting with my friend Jiska before and hopefully we will have some time to visit the new Oslo Opera it looks absolutely fantastic!














Next week we are really going to launch KILROY education Netherlands, the website & brochure will be ready, we're going to send out a newsletter & pressrelease and i have my first fair in Amsterdam! It'll actually be the study abroad fair of the university & college of Amsterdam, a fair that i've been at a couple of times with my old job...it's gonna be nice to be back there!

Busy busy busy....but loving it!

My favourite 7-year-old

It's been a long time since i posted here, and lots of stuff happened. Lots of good stuff.
Stina & Ailsa visited me in late April/early May and it was just the best week.
Then there were 2 job applications and 4 job interviews for those, in the end i managed to get both jobs...but i had an absolute favourite so it wasn't a hard choice. Instead of working for the Swedish embassy, which i always thought would be a dream coming true, i chose the job of Study & Marketing Coordinator at Kilroy Education NL. I love the company, i love the job, i love the fact it combines everything i've done before with the fact that it's a Scandinavian company, just perfect for me. Something i can & should do.
And last but not least there's been some great festivals & concerts this summer, i suddenly found myself a fan of Live & Melee.

Last week it felt like i was on top of the world, well kinda...i was happy and good things were happening.
But now everything around me feels different. I feel sad & angry.
And this all because my favourite 7-year-old is sick, very sick. They can't say much yet, after today's operation it's at least a week of waiting before they can say more.
So it will be a week of waiting, hoping & praying for the best outcome possible.
