I have had a serious case of the travel bug lately. It’s holiday season here in the Netherlands (aka: vacation season, for all the Americans in the room). It starts around May, when there are a lot of public holidays, and peaks in August. People at work are literally going on their 2nd round ofContinue reading “Montpellier, France”

Livigno, Italy
Ahhh, nothing better than alpine wind blowing through your braided pigtails as you whizz down snow-covered mountains with a board strapped to your feet.

The last few trips we’ve cut it pretty closeContinue reading “Livigno, Italy”
Berlin, Germany

The epilogue was titled “19 Years Later” and given the age of the characters andContinue reading “A Fangirl’s Harry Potter and Outlander Journey Through the UK”
Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Ya know how sometimes you need something, but you didn’t know you needed it until you have it? That was Palma de Mallorca for me. As I write this is 18°C (65°F) & raining. It’s getting dark at 9:30pm now. I’m slowly accepting the fact that The Long Night will once again be upon us.Continue reading “Palma de Mallorca, Spain”

Venice, Italy
Ahh, beautiful Venice! Last weekend we whisked off to meet some friends at the beginning of their summer holiday, and (if I do say so myself) we kicked it off pretty well! The company, the scenery, the weather, the wine… it was all fantastic. Here are a few reflections from our weekend in Italy. TheContinue reading “Venice, Italy”
