Here you can read all the posts I’ve written about my travels in Europe!
Athens, the ancient city of Greece and one of the oldest cities in the world, had been on our ‘Places to Visit’ list for quite some time. Frank and I both studied Greek in high school and red many of the Greek mythology stories, therefore it seemed only fitting we would visit Athens one day. How to visit Athens with…

Iceland is called the Land of Fire and Ice and now that I’ve visited I understand why. Iceland has around 45 volcanoes and the Vatnajökull Glacier is the largest icecap in Europe. Driving around this beautiful island there is always either a volcano or glacier in sight… Iceland definitely is one of the most impressive places I’ve ever visited! Iceland…

Looking back on 2016 I am filled with gratitude. I had a fantastic year, with so many amazing experiences. When I started counting how many days I had been abroad in 2016 I was a little shocked… My total of travel days for 2016 comes to a whopping 87! 87 travel days! I know it’s not nearly as much as in 2015, but…

In October I went to Ireland and made an awesome 5 day road trip. Driving around in our campervan, my husband and I explored part of the Wild Atlantic Way on the west coast of Ireland. And wow, Ireland is a beautiful country. Traveling by campervan means you don’t have to continuously lug around your stuff which is great. However, that didn’t…

Let me start by saying my 5 day road trip around Ireland was not a budget trip. It was a trip to celebrate my 7 year wedding anniversary, something I am planning to do just once in my life;-). Therefore, I did not try to make this trip as cheap as possible and you can very well travel Ireland for less.…

Ireland had been on my bucket list for a long time… There was just something about the country that really made me want to visit this gorgeous island. Actually, the Irish accent alone was reason enough for me to plan a trip, I think it’s the nicest English accent in the world. Well, perhaps it’s a tie with Scottish?. Anyway,…

If you have read more posts on this blog, you probably know how much I love road trips. It’s one of my favorite ways to travel and I actively seek out road trip opportunities during my trips. During our 5 month trip around the world my husband and I made a 6 week road trip around New Zealand. This year I…

Every year my husband and I take a trip for our wedding anniversary. Usually we take a city trip, so far we’ve visited Rome, London, Antwerp and Prague. The 5th year we didn’t go away for a weekend but went on a 5 month trip to New Zealand and Southeast Asia instead. Last year we went to Paris, but that…

I spent a wonderful week sailing around Croatia with my family. The Central Dalmatian Archipelago truly impressed me, the landscapes were amazing and the Croatian people very welcoming. However, I was particularly awestruck by the picture-perfect villages on the islands Hvar, Vis and Brač. I visited several stunning towns but I am still having a hard time choosing which village…

I’ll be honest about it: sailing in Croatia isn’t cheap. However, you don’t have to be a millionaire to hire your own boat and set sail for unknown destinations! Sure, costs are higher than backpacking around Southeast Asia. And probably also more expensive than backpacking around East Europe, though I have no personal reference as I haven’t done that (yet;-). That being…
