I'd been planning to visit Amersfoort for a while now. With its historic city centre, great restaurants and shops, and plenty of things to see, Amersfoort is the perfect destination for a day trip when you're visiting the Netherlands. This beautiful city is super close to Utrecht, but also from Amsterdam it's only around 30 minutes by train. Best Things to Do & See in Amersfoort The Amersfoort Boulder This is a bit of a must.

Autumn Weekend in Prague

Autumn Weekend in Prague

People watching in Madrid

Is there anything more fun than watching other people? Silently observing what others are doing, the way they passionately move their hands when they're trying to make a point, quickly checking their hair in a mirror when they think nobody's watching or...

I don't know how other bloggers do it. Having a full-time job, a social life, traveling...and then still finding the time to blog according to a fixed schedule? After doing the A Beautiful Mess Blog Life e-course, I'm now trying to blog more regularly. But after...
