To travel is to Live
Ostend is known as the queen of seaside resorts in Belgium. It’s a coastal city characterised by its long wide beach and promenade. As far as I can remember it’s the first Belgian coastal city I personally visited and despite the rain, we had a great time! The majority of people would probably visit Ostend... Continue Reading →
A road trip through the Algarve, the south of Portugal should be on everyone’s bucket list. Portugal in general is just an amazing country and there are tons of great camping spots too!

This winter (2023) I travelled to London to visit a friend. As I had never travelled there by train, I decided to try it. So I took the Eurostar from Amsterdam Centraal to London St. Pancras International station. The journey takes a little over 4 hours and only stops in Rotterdam. I booked my ticket...

Flying in a hot-air balloon is one of those experiences you should have at least once in your life! It's amazing to see the world from above and see life pass by beneath you. Especially when the balloon is not too high and you can still see people walk on the street, it's just such... Continue Reading →
