The perfect Taiwan itinerary for 2 to 3 weeks

Asia, Multi destination, Taiwan, Travel itinerary

Taiwan is one of those destinations where you really feel that you’re traveling. I don’t speak the language, you won’t run into Western tourists all the time, there’s delicious food on every street corner, and it has the most stunning nature. I have 2,5 weeks to explore this beautiful island and have put together a Taiwan itinerary to get the most out of my time here.

15x My favorite things to do in Tallinn in Winter

Estonia, City guide, City trip, Europe

A few minutes before arriving in Tallinn, the pilot informs us about the weather. Cloudy, windy, and snowy. Not what I would typically call holiday weather. But I decided to visit Tallinn in winter because of the snow, so this announcement actually makes me smile. And...

Cabiner: Sleeping in a Beautiful Off-the-grid Cabin in the Woods

Europe, Nature & Wildlife, Places to stay, The Netherlands

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...

Essen & Duisburg: the Urban Jungle of the Ruhr Region in Germany

City trip, Art & Culture, City guide, Europe, Germany

I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep this up, but for now I'm trying to avoid trips that require getting on an airplane. Which means that if I do want to travel abroad, I look for places just across the border. So when I received an invite to visit Essen and...

A Stay at the Legendary Hotel des Indes in The Hague

City trip, Europe, Places to stay, The Hague, The Netherlands

Visiting Dordrecht, a Perfect Day Trip from Amsterdam

City guide, City trip, Europe, The Netherlands

Travel plans may have turned into vouchers for (hopefully) next year, but that doesn't mean that we won't be traveling at all. It will just be a bit closer to home. Starting with: Dordrecht, a perfect day trip from Amsterdam or Rotterdam. If I'm being honest, there...

How to Spend 3 Days in Cape Town, South Africa

Africa, City guide, City trip, South Africa, Travel itinerary

There are many places in the world I'd like to go back to some day. But with Cape Town, it wasn't a matter of wanting, but knowing that this was going to be a first of many visits. This is my kind of city, I love it! And because I'm totally convinced that there will...

Coffee Lover’s Guide: 15 Best Cafes in Chiang Mai

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...

Design Hotel August: a Luxurious Stay in a Former Convent

Antwerp, Belgium, City trip, Europe, Places to stay

Best things to do in Seville: 16x where to go, eat & stay

City trip, Europe, Spain

The Ultimate Oslo City Guide: 21x What to do & Where to eat

Oslo, City trip, Europe, Norway

It's not the first time I'm visiting Oslo, the capital of Norway. I've been here once before with my family when I was a teenager. Which, let's be honest, is a really long time ago. I remember seeing an old Viking ship, eating lots of waffles and trying cheese with a...

Where to Stay in Chicago: Dana Hotel and Spa

Chicago, City trip, North America, Places to stay, USA

I have booked my flight. The next question is: where to stay in Chicago? As much as I like hotels, I always find this extra difficult when I visit a city for the first time. After all, you don't want to end up in a bad neighborhood, or be too far away from all the...

How to eat your way through Bangkok

City trip, Asia, Bangkok, City guide, Food & Drink, Thailand

My 15 Favorite Things to Do & See in Chicago

Art & Culture, Chicago, City guide, City trip, North America, USA

It's my first time in Chicago. In a week I'll be starting a new job and even though I didn't know that when I started planning several months ago, the timing is now kind of perfect. Traveling 'in between jobs' always gives me that extra sense of freedom where I don't...

First Time Visiting Chicago with My New Mirrorless Nikon Z6 (+ video)

Chicago, North America, Photography, USA

Only a few days before my trip to Chicago I traded in my beloved Nikon D750 for the new Nikon Z6 full-frame mirrorless camera. There was nothing wrong with my D750 which I've used for the past four and half years. For quite some time I wasn't even sure if I wanted to...

3 Days in Maastricht: Best things to do & hotel tips

How my travel journal helps to make my travel experiences unforgettable

Travel experiences

I love keeping a journal when I travel. I want to remember every moment, every detail. The good, the bad and the ugly. One way to do this is taking photos, but they will only tell so much. Looking at a photo of a trip I made a few years ago will certainly bring back...
