Congratulations Rob

My little son (in AIESEC terms ;-)) has made it: he is Director on AIESEC International!!!

I'm so happy for you and also very proud! As there was no one else to celebrate with I had to open this bottle of port wine all by myself in order to have a mini -celebration....- the real one will happen once I get to Bangkok! Can't wait to see you!

putting memories into boxes

I didn’t know I owned so much stuff, seriously. Not until today. Not until I had to sort everything out and put it into boxes. My room was the messiest it has been in while with stuff everywhere. Yes, the moment of truth has come. I’m finally moving out of my little flat in Fribourg. Three years later than intended. But better late than never ;-)

Also today it hit me that now I’m really out of AIESEC- for good. Not because it is the first time in four years that I’m not at IPM, no, but because I literally had to put my memories into boxes: all my sugar cubes from the last six years, pictures, badges, conference note books, AIESEC T-shirts…etc. And every time I picked something up to put it away the memories came back: the places, the conversations, the people. I feel privileged to have lived this experience. And even if one day I won’t have the material things to remind me of that time, I know that the most precious thing no one ever can steal from me: my memories.
