Montenegro, the mini-state in Europe’s Balkan region, is a fast riser on the must-see lists of backpackers all over the world. The combination of an insanely beautiful coastline and the rugged wilderness that lurks behind it has gotten everyone’s attention it seems. But travelling around in...
During our trip to Carcassonne, Jeroen and I made a legendary castle road trip. We saw three of the most beautiful Cathar castles in one day. We booked a crappy old car at a car rental company, but we ended up driving a nearly new Jeep… without an additional cost. This happens every...
The White Nights in St. Petersburg are one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen! Last June, I left Moscow for a weekend to go to St Petersburg. Because St. Petersburg is situated more than 60 degrees above the equator, this means that as from the second half of June it never gets...
Say the words “Canal du Midi” at any given moment and I immediately start to dream. I was there once in my early childhood, and ever since I dreamed of going back to the beautiful Canal du Midi once again … if only to check whether the skippers still wave so kindly and whether...
Occasionally, I can smell spring in the air, I see flowers along the roads and I am awakened by whistling birds. That’s about the time of year I can no longer deny it: I feel the irresistible urge to go hiking. It seems as if nature is calling me. It starts with looking at my hiking pics...

Photo of the week: the triumphal arch of Lille. I have returned from Lille only an hour ago, but could not wait to share this picture with you. On Thursday, I will post more detailed blog with photos, tips and stories of Lille, but I couldn’t refrain from posting this picture already. I...
As a matter of fact, my love for France doesn’t get the attention it deserves on this blog. Even though I visited nearly every nook and cranny of the land of wine and cheese when I was young, I decided not to dishonor gorgeous France with subpar photographs! Luckily France will get ample...
A cold winter makes one yearn for warm summer days. In this picture, it seems pleasantly warm in Mostar, but actually the heat in Mostar was not bearable during the day. However, the city was so beautiful that we tried to enjoy as much as we could this beautiful Bosnian town. This picture was...
During our Visit in Trondheim, I became intrigued by some signs with special cross markings on it and the words “Nidaros Pilegrimsgård”. After some research I found out that they’re part of a Pilgrim’s route that ends in Trondheim. The beautiful Nidaros Dom marks the endpoint of the so...
