AUSTRIA

With my portfolio over and done with, I was now getting ready to sit the MRCEM Part A exam in May. Before that, though, I figured I had enough time for a quick trip.

I had been considering visiting Emma and Julia in the Netherlands and, as much as I loved and missed them, there was someone else I loved and missed more – Amelia. After spending two months together in Utila and then another couple of weeks travelling around Nicaragua, she had practically become my sister. Now, more than a year later, we could finally be together again.

With both of us busy adulting, it did take some organisational skill to make our schedules fit. Since she had a full-time job, we figured that even a couple of days would be enough. As such, I planned my trip around her busy schedule, adding a few extra stops before we would meet in Vienna, where she was currently living.

As the days leading up to our long-awaited reunion drew closer, I could hardly contain my excitement. I’d finally see my Dirty Little Elf again!
