Het zal je niet verbazen dat je heerlijk kan eten in Griekenland. En met name in de hoofdstad Athene is het lastig om een keuze te maken uit de vele goede restaurants. Wil je lekker eten in Athene dan ben je zeker niet beperkt tot de Griekse keuken. Waar je ook zin in hebt, je zult het hier vinden. Ik heb echter geprobeerd zoveel mogelijk Grieks te eten tijdens mijn citytrip Athene, maar dan wel de moderne versie. In dit artikel deel ik de beste restaurants in Athene die ik je zeker wil aanraden. Van plekken voor een hip ontbijt tot restaurants met een Bib Gourmand vermelding van de Michelin gids. Maar ook voor een fantastische ‘smash burger’ en typische...

Wat is Tallinn toch een leuke stad voor een stedentrip! Hoewel het er heel gezellig in de zomermaanden schijnt te zijn, koos ik er juist voor om Tallinn midden in de winter te bezoeken. Het voordeel: veel minder toeristen, lagere hotelprijzen, maar vooral: sneeuw....
Er zijn twee redenen waarom Chiayi niet mag ontbreken op je rondreis door Taiwan. Het is de beste plek om vanuit hier het mooie nationale park Alishan te bezoeken. Maar daarnaast is het ook beroemd vanwege de food scene en authentieke Taiwanese gerechten die hier...
Voor de echte foodies is Tainan een must tijdens je rondreis door Taiwan. Niet voor niets wordt deze stad in het zuiden van het eiland ook wel de culinaire hoofdstad van Taiwan genoemd. Ik was er 4 dagen (3 nachten) en heb in die tijd heel wat leuke plekken ontdekt....
Mocht je nog een reden nodig hebben om die reis naar Taiwan te boeken…. Het eten is er fantastisch! De leuke street food tentjes op elke straathoek, de heerlijke night markets, de sterke invloeden van zowel de Chinese als Japanse keuken, en natuurlijk de vele...
I'm spending two weeks in Chiang Mai. With all the stories I'd heard about digital nomads choosing this city as their base in Thailand I figured there must be enough to do and see to keep me busy for two weeks. After the first two days I'm wondering if maybe I was...
I know, writing about where to eat in Bangkok (or Thailand) and not mentioning street food is kind of unacceptable. But with so many stories already out there about where to find the best street food, what Thai food you must try, etc.... I thought I'd focus on another...
Why do I keep forgetting how long it takes to change the design of your website?! Anyway, that's what I've been working on these past weeks. And the reason why it's been a while since I shared my last post here. But I'm mostly done now (it's never really done, now is...
Als mijn vorige post je nog niet overtuigd heeft om naar Maastricht te gaan, dan zou deze vol met Maastricht hotspots het moeten doen. Want Maastricht is niet alleen super mooi en interessant om te bezoeken, het is ook een geweldige stad om te winkelen en lekker te...
The woman behind the counter looks confused when I apologetically respond to her question in English. It's not the first time this happens. Not that the people in Gothenburg don't speak English, which they do perfectly, but with the way I look they often think I'm a...
Een van mijn grootste uitdagingen voor deze stedentrip naar Lissabon is om niet helemaal uitgeput thuis te komen. Ik wil altijd te veel doen als ik een stad voor de eerste keer bezoek. Dus hoe zorg je ervoor dat je genoeg pauzes neemt tussen het bezoeken van alle...
Sydney or Melbourne? Every time I meet people in Australia it's one of the first questions they ask. Which city do you prefer? There's clearly a friendly competition going on here. Before this trip I thought the answer would be Melbourne. For...
If you think Tokyo is just another big city, comparable to New York and London, then you're up for a big surprise. This city is different! It's organized and chaotic, calm and loud, crazy and overwhelming at the same time. As much as you hear about Tokyo, you have to...
It all started with a picture of pancakes. It helps that my friend Giulia - who took the picture - is also a talented food photographer, but I also trust her judgement. (Would you question an Italian when it comes to food?) So if she says the pancakes are...
I've never really been on a diet. I've tried, but then someone offered me a cookie on the second day... I like food. I like eating. And I get really cranky when I don't eat enough. So diets have never really been my thing. But healthy eating is. Yes, I have a...
News you don't want to get right before you go on a trip to Los Angeles: stay away from gluten for a while. And this for someone who basically lives on bread and pasta. But looking on the bright side, if you need to adjust your diet anyway, in my case LA was probably...
Chelsea is one of my favorite neighborhoods in London. Great shops, beautiful houses. But when it comes to food or coffee, I often struggle to find something nice. Maybe it's because everyone who can afford to live here has personal chefs to cook them a perfect...
There's something to be said for exploring a city unprepared. You don't know what to expect, what's waiting for you around the next corner, and you'll be more excited when you stumble upon that hidden gem. I'm afraid I'm not that kind of person. I often wish I...
Bloggers love breakfast. Just look at their Instagram feed and you'll see more eggs benedict than steak frites. Why? Well, to start with we prefer daylight to take our photos and you're not going to get much daylight during dinner when sunset kicks in around 4.30pm....
Blenheim Palace is a bit of a movie star. It starred in The Royals (with Elizabeth Hurley as queen of England), in The Young Queen Victoria, Cinderella, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Just to name a few. Add the fact that Sir Winston Churchill was...
The biggest challenge for a travel blogger is to write about a place you know very well. That might sound strange, but it's because you lose the ability to see what makes it so special for someone who's seeing it for the first time. That feeling of...
I’m in Stockholm! This city is just as fun and beautiful as I’d hoped, I love it! One of the reasons I got so excited about visiting Stockholm is that Sweden - or Scandinavia in general - is hot in London. No longer associated with IKEA and Swedish...
London is a city full of temptations when it comes to food. And if it were up to me, I would eat it all. I love the food scene in London, but after two years of indulging in afternoon teas, brunches and eating out, I'm now really trying to live a healthier life. I'm...
If there’s one thing I was expecting from my trip to the Dordogne Valley, it was to eat great food and drink amazing wine. We’re talking about France after all. And I wasn’t wrong. In these four days I was surrounded by an overload of du pain, du...
I never seem to have enough time to really explore Berlin. And this weekend was no different. But what kind of travel bloggers would we be if we didn't try to get the most out of the little time we had. I'd done my homework - I may even have created a little map...
One word of advice: if you're going to treat yourself to an afternoon tea at Sketch, skip the brunch, food market and dinner plans. It was all a bit much. But when foodie friends from Holland are visiting, you just have to be a big girl, stop complaining, and start...
If there's one thing I love doing on a sunny Saturday in London - well, apart from having brunch obviously - it's combining a visit to Broadway Market with a walk along Regent's Canal. There are many farmers' markets I like in London, but Broadway Market is the...
Some people compare notes about where to shop to get the best discounts. What the latest shows are that you have to see. Or what books to read. My friends and I compare notes about brunch places. Which one has the best coffee, the best poached eggs,...
It had gotten to a point last year where it seemed that all I was doing in London was drink coffee. Of course that wasn't really true, but I got a bit overly excited about sharing my latest coffee discoveries here on the blog. So I decided to focus on other...
I'm starting to run out of ways to describe a London afternoon tea. Seriously, does anyone have a food writing for dummies book they can recommend? After so many tea blog posts last year, I decided to wait a bit before sharing my afternoon tea with Chiara at The Rose...
If I'm being honest, the real reason I wanted to eat at the Corner Room is because of its interior. It's one of those places that kept popping up on my Instagram feed and I just wanted to see (and photograph) it myself. Visiting friends and family are always a good...
