Lost in Europe ~ Part II

Well ...

... This Blog is a semi-sweet interlude into my current situation

Read Lost in Europe ~ Part I First

I ended up in The Netherlands, Europe for 3 Months, Officially Broke, and no way to get home (which is close to 6,000km away, across the Atlantic Ocean).



Home of course being Pennsylvania - United States of America!!!

I came here to Maastricht, Netherlands in the beginning of February this year. I decided to come here for the first time last December and stayed for three weeks at that time (at that time, it was only supposed to be one week... Pfffffff).


To make a long story short, (I'll Blog at a later date) I was scheduled to take a flight home one week after my arrival here in the Netherlands and due to a loss of passport situation (OMG) and two missed flights I finally made it home after three weeks missing Christmas.
Boy was that emotional to not be with my kids for the first Christmas EVER!!! I was a crying fool!

Once I arrived home to the U.S. on December 28th, I was only able to see my kids 2x's/week for a total of 8 hours. This due to a situation back in October of last year. Where my soon-to-be-ex-husband FALSELY filed a PFA (Protection From Abuse) order against me stating that "I will stab this nigger in the back." Funny, that sounds like it came out of a movie trailer or something.

I mean DAMN! After all the names I've been called over the years, it was only rightfully so that he was called a "pussy faggot" multiple times in return just because it pissed him off... lol! But "stab someone" I would not do. Everyone who actually knows me knows that I'm a lover not a hater. Besides... with the proof I have (i.e. police reports with photos) of him abusing me, why would I ever?

(More blogs based on my marriage/divorce coming soon!)

In addition to the divorce drama and needing to get away, the reason I came here is because I have a friend, Thomas, whom I met online back in August '08 on a multi player gaming website. We both had soooooo much in common that we could not wait to physically meet!

Needless to say I went out and bought a $20 web cam 24 hours after we began to IM.
It was only right for me to come here to Europe, because I REALLY needed to get away. All of my divorce drama still resides in Pennsylvania.

Overall I really am glad I came to the Netherlands. Although I am still hoping that I do not get deported...
It's been 1 week past the 3 month limit... Fuck!

Tiffi ~ Lost in Europe ~ Part I ~ May 05, 2009


I am a US Citizen and I have been in Europe (NL) for 11 weeks. Since I only traveled here with a US Passport, I am only legally allowed to stay in Europe for 3 months, which turns out to be next week. I'm Screwed!

So that means, as of Today, May 5, 2009, I have Literally 5 days to Physically Leave The Netherlands.

You know, I have to say this has to be the cleanest air I have EVER taken in (I should know b/c I come from a long line of family members who Lovingly passed down an Uncanny amount of Allergies).
We're talking about me, TIFFI... HOMETOWN: Norristown, PA, USA.

I've been on Multiple Long Distance Vacations and can honestly say that I've NEVER BEEN OFF THE EAST COAST OF NORTH AMERICA! That is including when I went to Canada & Bermuda !!! Hee hee...

Now, I, have the HONOUR of saying that I have had the GREATEST OPPORTUNITY during the last 3 months.

I can now say that I've done what most school girls dream about. I LIVED IN EUROPE FOR 3 WHOLE MONTHS!! Hmmmm. Not many people can say that huh?

I feel like I could tell my whole life story right now, but I would have noplace to start and a million paths to follow. Starting a new sentence could potentially be "WWIII" in my head.

I have to Leave this Wonderful Country before ~ worst case scenario ~ I get "DEPORTED."
