City trip Bruges – What to do in Bruges
Vanuit Nederland is de Belgische stad Brugge niet eens zo ver rijden. Dus het is een ideale bestemming voor een weekendje weg. De sfeer in Brugge is totaal anders dan in Nederlandse steden en je bent echt even in het buitenland. Graag deel ik wat er te doen is in Brugge tijdens een stedentrip in deze gezellige Belgische stad. Gratis parkeren in Brugge Vanuit Nederland is Brugge het gemakkelijkst te bereiken met de auto. Die moet je natuurlijk ook ergens kwijt als je de stat in gaat. Ik boekte een hotel, hotel Olympia, zonder parkeerplekken. Maar op nog geen 200…

Guided bike tour in Prague
As far as I am concerned, biking with a guide is the best way to get to know a new city. In a short period of time, you get to see a lot of the city. You get information about the place where you are and it gives you the opportunity to ask questions to someone who lives in the city. So obviously, I booked a guided bike tour in Prague when I was there on a city trip with Ernestina. We booked our bike tour through Bajabikes. This is a company where you can book bike tours in several…

Brunch in Antwerp
What is a good place for brunch in Antwerp? That question I asked my colleagues before I headed in that direction for a weekend. A colleague tipped the WASBAR and after seeing the pictures on the Internet I was immediately excited. We ended up having brunch at the WASBAR in Antwerp and all I can say is it really comes highly recommended! The Laundry Bar is a chain of restaurants/laundryettes that you can find in several Belgian cities. The concept is the same everywhere, the WASBAR has several AEG washing machines and dryers that you can use for a fee.…

The German village of Mittenwald is located a few kilometers from the border with Austria and is surrounded by the Karwendel and Wetterstein mountains.

Paris Museum Pass experience
The Paris Museum Pass is ideal for tourists who want to visit many museums in a short period of time, for a relatively low price. During a city trip to Paris, I took advantage of it and visited no less than ten museums in two days. Therefore, I am happy to share my Paris Museum Pass experience. Free museums in Paris Although I visited the French capital regularly for five and a half years and even lived there for a while, I had never heard of the Paris Museum Pass. Perhaps because I am not an active museum-goer, but also…

Night train to Prague: my experience
The Czech capital of Prague is a fun destination for a weekend getaway. Of course, you can take the plane or drive to Prague. But did you know that the night train to Prague is also an option? Board the train in the evening in the Netherlands and the next morning you drive into Prague’s central station. Together with Ernestina, I chose this option and took the night train from Deventer to Prague. I am happy to share my experience. Train Deventer Prague The night train to Prague is not a “normal” timetable. And to some extent you can compare…

A weekend trip with girlfriends, I love it! Together with Ernestina, her cousin and a friend of her cousin, I went to Eindhoven for a weekend.

Parking in Eindhoven Since Eindhoven is quite a drive from Twente, we left on time. All together we were on the road for almost two hours. Just before lunch time we arrived at the…

Visiting Fabrique des Lumières in Amsterdam
What to do during a weekend in Amsterdam? That’s what Julia and I wondered when we spent a few days in our capital city. We wanted to do more than just shopping and eating. But also wanted to do something that can only be done in Amsterdam. In the end we chose the Fabrique des Lumières, an art exhibition, but slightly different from a normal exposation. The paintings are projected on the wall, so it feels like you can walk right through them. Atelier de Lumières Paris The concept of the Fabrique des Lumières Amsterdam is from the same creators…

The Czech capital is simply super photogenic.

Rooftopbar Terasa U Prince Hotel U Prince’s rooftop terrace has been described as one of the most popular Instagram photo spots in Prague. Chances are that you have seen pictures of this on…

Backpacking in Asia – Week 2
I am currently solo traveling in southeast Asia. On my blog I am sharing my weekly experiences during my trip. This time I am writing all about my days in Kanchanaburi, visiting an ethical (hands-off) elephant sanctuary and Songkran in Bangkok.
