+I moved from the Netherlands to Switzerland in August 2006, and I've been working at Google for
+about 18 years now. I have had the most wonderful time so far! In the Summer of 2024, I decided to
+take a little break. Thanks to the awesome support of my manager and the teams I work with, my
+request for a Sabbatical was approved and the date set for the 29th of July through the 3rd of
+November, just over three months of time off.
+
+If you follow on any form of social, you'll know that I like to write. My website 
+[[IPng.ch](https://ipng.ch/s/articles/)] is full of nerdy stories. But this website serves a
+different purpose. Because a sabbatical is something that not many people have the privilege to be
+able to do, and because I plan on doing only one of these in my life, I've decided to mark my
+travels with a little story and some pictures of every day of my time off.
