Cabiner: Sleeping in a Beautiful Off-the-grid Cabin in the Woods
It’s been 30 minutes since we left our car and anything that reminds us of our hectic city life behind. Carrying a backpack that hasn’t been used in years. And pulling a folding wagon filled with food and drinks for the coming days. Any doubts about whether it’s still...
Cabiner: Sleeping in a Beautiful Off-the-grid Cabin in the Woods
It’s been 30 minutes since we left our car and anything that reminds us of our hectic city life behind. Carrying a backpack that hasn’t been used in years. And pulling a folding wagon filled with food and drinks for the coming days.

Dutch comfort food in London – The Frying Dutchmen
The Dutch may not be world-renowned for their food, but just like any other expat I do have this craving from time to time for snacks from home. Raw herring with (raw) onions, stroopwafels (syrup waffles), erwtensoep (split pea soup), hutspot (mashed...
Travel Notes (+ Video) from Palestine
I never spent this much time at a border. Children are sleeping on the grey leather sofas in the VIP room, or crying because they're clearly tired of waiting. There's a National Geographic show on the television in the corner, with subtitles in Hebrew and the volume...
Cycling around Copenhagen
Let's start with the most touristy photo you can take in Copenhagen, so we can tick that box. Tick! Okay, moving on. As I mentioned in my previous post the only true way to explore Copenhagen is on a bike and that's exactly what I did last Monday. The sun was...
