Hey hi hello! My name is Dyon Puts, I’m 24 and I’m from a town in the south of The Netherlands that’s almost too small to be on the map. I’m currently studying Russian Language and Culture at Leiden University, after dabbling in Film and Literary Studies for a couple of years. Generally, I fill my time with reading, gaming and listening to podcasts. I love cooking, although, being a picky eater, I don’t do it nearly as much as I should.
