AM-STER-DAM: tiny for a world city, big in its diversity. As in a lot of world cities, it´s hell to conquer a permanent home. In the first 10 months I moved three times. Benefit; I’ve got to know a lot of nice places in several neighborhoods. Due to the fact that I did quite some… Lees verder Amsterdam

A few months ago I wandered around my fav bookstore in Utrecht and my eye was caught by a bright blue sky on a cover. This cover contains the incredible story of Martijn Doolaard. Martijn is a Dutch guy who's got a lot of travel bugs (and courage) running through his veins. He decided to… Lees verder ONE YEAR ON A BIKE (book)

Every other year you bump into a travel movie that makes you gasp. Tracks is one of those movies. It's an adaption of the true story of Robyn Davidson who walked from Alice Springs to the Indian Ocean with her dog and four camels; a trip of 2700 km. With breathtaking shots of the Australian… Lees verder Tracks (movie)

I've been in Italy once before, as a child but that aren’t my best holiday memories unfortunately. But that got everything to do with the lousy appartment that we booked; cat hair everywhere, kiddo-poop (let's hope it was from kids) floating in the pool and my sister of 4 had to be crammed into a… Lees verder Italy

I don’t know how it is with you guys but every time an Arab country is touted in a travel program, I feel a huge obsession coming up. Morocco, Iran, the UAE, Jordan, you name it. They are all on my 1001 nights countries wish list. First one up; Morocco! One of my biggest travel… Lees verder Morocco

Together with two of my adventurous (and prrrretty) friends we jumped on a plane to wake up in the country of the bright green star. Where to sleep? Through the narrow peach-colored alleys of the old medina we reached the thick wooden door of Riad Farhan. Farhan means happy in Arabic and it turned out… Lees verder Marrakech

Portugal is since I was a teenager one of my favorite travel destinations. Guaranteed pink sunsets, the most warmhearted people (the more north you go, the friendlier they are) (well, that’s what they told me) and endless plates full of Amêijoas (shellfish simmered in garlic and coriander). After several ‘girls only’ holidays in the Algarve… Lees verder Portugal

Where to sleep? If you’re longing for beaches, sun-drenched breakfasts along small boulevards and lots of zen, then tiny village Cabanas is your place to stay in the Algarve! Rent one of the feels-like-home apartments we found at Boavista Rentals and prepare for an easy-going holiday. Or have a look around for a cute Airbnb.… Lees verder Cabanas & Tavira

Where to sleep?I wanted to discover two different sides of Lisboa. So I figured I wanted to stay in Bairro Alto (the more modern, hip part of town) and Alfama (the oldest part of town and therefore so, so charming). I found a nice little hostel in Bairro that is called the Oasis Backpackers Hostel.… Lees verder Lisbon

Where to sleep? When I arrived in Porto I was quite tired of all the sightseeing in Lisbon. Luckily I booked a room at the Mim Hostel. This place is actually a big house and it has several rooms and corners to hide and do your nanna naps. Their bohemian garden with hammocks is the… Lees verder Porto
