Daily life in social isolation: ‘My home should be cosy’
Freelance photographer Aysha recently graduated as a psychologist and is doing an internship. Since the corona crisis broke out she conducts the therapy sessions online. But her belly dance lessons and Dutch course are paused for now.
It is hard to stay away from the fridge and not to overeat when you are at home for such a long time.

Social isolation insures that your friends are always online and available for facetime calls. I really enjoyed my three hour talk with my bff from South Africa (it could have been more if the battery did not die).
