Here you can read all the posts I’ve written about my travels in Europe!
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,…
View PostIf 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…
View PostEvery 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…
View PostI 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…
View PostI’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…
View PostThe east part of Europe is an area where I have not traveled much (yet;-). Besides a weekend in Prague and a week on Crete, I’ve only been to Croatia. But I am planning to change that, because the villages I visited during my 1 week sailing trip in the Central Dalmatian Archipelago were absolutely gorgeous. And really old too!…
View PostGrowing up in the Netherlands, county of water, it’s no surprise I like water sports. I love diving, snorkeling, surfing and yes… sailing! I was lucky my parents had a boat for years, meaning I spent many weekends exploring Friesland and the ‘Waddeneilanden’. This year however, I went sailing a little further from home. In the Central Dalmatian Archipelago in…
View PostIt was a very last-minute decision to go to Andalusia. My parents invited me to join them a couple of days on their 3 week road trip around Spain and Portugal and I didn’t have to think twice about their offer. That’s how I found myself on a plane to Seville mere days after their invitation, exited to be going…
View PostIn 2016 I am making it my mission to explore more of my own country, the tiny but beautiful Netherlands. That’s why I wrote my ‘10 Things Every Foreigners Should Know About The Netherlands’ guest post for Aileen and an ‘Introduction to the Netherlands’. I planned on publishing this post much sooner but I have had so much trouble getting the pictures I…
View PostOh snowy winter wonderland, you are gorgeous… Ever since I first stepped foot on the magical white slopes and made my way down, be it very clumsily and with lots of falling down, I have been addicted to wintersport! I love the white, snowcapped mountains and the view of snowy pines with their branches hanging down from the weight of…
