Mid Range Travel Blog & Expat Life
I’ve been having so much fun exploring my home country a bit more. Ever since moving to England, I’ve learned to appreciate Dutch culture and the country a lot more! Growing up near Eindhoven, s’Hertogenbosch (nicknamed Den Bosch) was only a short drive/train ride away – but I’d never taken the time to properly explore […]
In the southeast of the Netherlands lays Maastricht. The medieval atmosphere makes this picturesque city an absolute hidden gem in the Netherlands. Spending one day in Maastricht can really show you the ins-and-outs of Dutch culture. Now I’m back in my home country for a couple of weeks, it’s time to write up about some […]
I grew up in the south of the Netherlands. Eindhoven slowly became my main city, as it was a bit easier to get to from my hometown. But Tilburg quickly ended up in second place. I even studied in Tilburg for 6 months before dropping out of higher education to move to England – but […]
Revisiting Chester had been high on my to-do list for quite a few months. I visited it once with my former roommate back during my first time in the UK, but we hid from the rain in a cafe for pretty much the entire day. A day trip to Chester has so much more to […]

If you’re looking for a real-life fairytale town, look no further. Visiting Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic feels like stepping right into a fairytale book. The narrow, cobblestoned streets, the lack of cars, the old but beautiful buildings, a castle! It’s no surprise to see how many fairytales are actually inspired by central-Europe seeing […]
As cat cafes are sprouting out of the ground everywhere across the globe, people feel like they need to step up their game. And Japan (as always) seems to be one step ahead. Hedgehogs, bunnies, even penguins – Japan seems to have a cafe for any animal. And then there are Owl Cafes. When we […]
Dutch cuisine isn’t as well known as say, the Italian or French kitchen. But the Netherlands has quite a few special snacks and dishes for you to try. Travelling and trying out new foods go hand-in-hand, don’t they? So I’ve made you a list of Dutch food you should try while visiting. Living in the […]
This September, I was invited to #BlogAtTheBeach in Manchester. The event was hosted by Icelolly.com in collaboration with Visit Barbados. It turned out to be a lovely Carribean-styled day, filled with tasty food, rum-cocktails and meeting some amazing fellow travel bloggers! About Icelolly Icelolly, who was kind enough to invite me to their event, is […]
