My name is Gwendolyn, but please just call me Gwen, and just got here. My profile says I'm from Wales, which is correct, but I live in The Netherlands at the moment. Thought it'd be nice to say Hi, so Hi :)

Hello Gwen,

I was raised near Aber so know the area really well, what a change the Netherlands must be for you, hope you are enjoying your studies.

Hi Gwen and welcome.

With such a profile picture, you will soon have more guys wanting to send you pictures and be your friend just because they have affinities with Wales and the Netherlands rather than to want to admit that they hope to try to "get to know you better".

Be careful and have fun here.

@Stephie Hi, thanks, for the warning too!

@gwendolyndecymru No problem. Be safe

Hello

I have memories of Aberystwyth my son lived there for some years when he attended university there. Absolute nightmare journey from our home in Kent to there and back. He could hardly have found somewhere further away!

Hope you like SW

Wow Aberystwyth! I've been there in 2015 (vacations) and I loved it!

Hi Gwen, and welcome. Your course sounds fascinating. Are you basically studying literature from many countries? What are you working towards?

@gwendolyndecymru I'm reading The Ice Palace by Norwegian Tarjei Vesaas right now!
*fist bump*

gwendolyndecymru · 22-25, F

@Richard65 And how do you like it? I've never read that one.

Richard65 · M

@gwendolyndecymru I'm only just into it. It's beautiful and strange, like a child's impression of life and loss in a frozen world. The writing puts me there, you can feel the chill. It's the first Vesaas book I've read.

Welcome Gwen, I have some fond memories of both Aberystwyth (still struggle to spell it) and the Netherlands :) slightly jealous you’ve lived in both. I hope you find what you’re looking for here.
