The perfect 5 day Hong Kong itinerary for first-time visitors
Many people get their first taste of Hong Kong during a layover on a long flight. With a bit of luck (or good planning), you can spend a day or two exploring the city. That was my experience as well. Sixteen years ago, I missed a connecting flight and suddenly found...
The perfect 5 day Hong Kong itinerary for first-time visitors
Many people get their first taste of Hong Kong during a layover on a long flight. With a bit of luck (or good planning), you can spend a day or two exploring the city. That was my experience as well. Sixteen years ago, I missed a connecting flight and suddenly found myself in a very warm Hong Kong for a day.

Attacked by a poisonous spider in the Amazon jungle
I kick out my rubber boot and see what's causing the enormous pain slowly crawling out. A giant hairy spider. If this had been a documentary on National Geographic this would be the moment I would switch to a different channel. But I'm not watching...

Brighton is the perfect day trip from London. Only an hour by train, there's a beach, a fun pier, great food... and yet I had only been once. I was already planning another trip when I received an invite to spend the weekend at the new Brighton Harbour Hotel with some...
Peru: the amazing trip that inspired me to visit Bolivia
I'm on my way to Bolivia. For the coming two weeks my sister and I will be traveling around the country. To cities, small towns, salt lakes and jungles. I can't wait! Bolivia is a country I've been wanting to visit ever since I traveled to South America for the first...
Visiting Amsterdam like a local (vlog)
Time for another travel vlog! In Amsterdam this time. And yes... still awkward. But as a reward for stepping outside of my comfort zone, I decided to buy a decent vlogging camera: the Canon G7 X MARK II. New gadgets always help. Apparently this is what many of...
