This Website and Me

This started out as a place for me to inform the homefront about what I was getting up to during my exchange in Australia. After I returned to the Netherlands (where I was born and raised) I realised I enjoyed it too much to give it up. It proved to be a handy tool once again when I moved to England for a year to do an MA. I’m currently travelling around Australia randomly, so there’s a few stories to tell. As a consequence, you will (still) be confronted with random musings, pictures or photoshop experiments.

In short, MissLeonie.com is a place for me to post about everything that’s keeping me busy - to keep you busy!

I am 22 years old and have just finished university, graduating (thank Christ) with an MA degree. I did a very broad BA, studying literature, linguistics, history and rhetoric, but also Spanish, French, journalism, psychology and sociology. I even did a course in maths! Afterwards, I went to the University of Nottingham to do a Masters degree in an area hardly anyone is familiar with called Literary Linguistics.

I’m currently trying to figure out what to do next. After working full-time for a few months since graduating, I now find myself in the luxurious position of trying to figure out where to go from here while taking a bit of a break to make sense of my life again.

In my spare time, I write, I take photos and I try my hand at painting. I like chocolate, pizzas and curries; but also salads, fruit and veggies.

This website wouldn’t be up without the help of Liam, who had to endure many a desperate outcry for coding help and occasionally received emails asking about the possibility of maybe putting this there, or making that blue, or disappear, and how did Photoshop work again? He was also kind enough to get this Wordpress thing going.

All graphics are made using my own photos, unless otherwise indicated. All photos after 20 October 2006 were taken with the Panasonic DMC-FZ7. Photos taken in or after January 2009 may also have been taken using a Canon EOS 40D. I do sometimes also use the camera in my phone, but I generally make a note of it when I do.

Have a look around and feel free to say hi in the comments! :)
