Next year, we are moving to: Belgium!

Posted by: Lydia in Choosing our new home, tags: ,

After a long, complex, and quantitative assessment, Adrian and I have decided to move to Belgium.

We will wake up to scenes like this:


And I will shop for my new iMac in stores like this:

We will be neighbours with The Netherlands, France, Luxembourg, England, and Germany.  Living in the capital of the European Commission in a country with a rich history and fascinating customs. Every weekend will be an extraordinary adventure, and every weekday will be a fascinating experience.

Adrian will be a professor of immunology associated with the Flanders Institute of Biotechnology, and I will have excellent opportunities to find a interesting and challenging job in global health.

I am terrified and excited.
