“Hi! I’m Jayden, I’m 22,

and I’m an International Student in the Netherlands!”

Documenting what happens when you move across the world and build a life from scratch…

one coffee, bike ride, and cultural discovery at a time.

279 Nights in Maastricht.

I moved to Maastricht for my master’s degree with an apartment I’d never seen, a city where I knew almost no one, and 279 nights before I’d have to decide what came next.

So I started documenting it.

The cultural differences. The people. The mistakes. The tiny things I couldn’t stop talking about. And somewhere along the way, what started as a way to remember this chapter became a community following along as I built a life here.
