Boca Tabla

If the south coast of Curacao is where you’ll find tropical beaches, the north is all rocks and power. This is where the Atlantic Ocean hits the land and it does just that, with a BANG. Boca Tabla is the most beautiful part to witness this force of nature. A...

The Celebration of the Lizard

A perfect stormy hike along the Lizard coast, the southernmost point of the UK. Black stone and a sea of white made this probably one of the most dramatic hikes we ever made. We followed the coastal path from the lighthouse towards Church cove, walked into the village of...

A Pilgrimage to Slieve League Cliffs

The rugged landscape that I imagined when thinking of Ireland came to life before me in the area of Slieve League Cliffs. The hard rocks, the soft green grass, a few sheep scattered along the fields. This is Ireland. And then…when you reach the top of the hill you...

The Sahara of The North

One of the highlights of our visit to Vlieland was the hike across de Vliehors, a 20 square kilometer sized  dune area on the west side of the island.  Usually this dutch piece of desert, also know as he Sahara of the North, is only accessible in the weekend because it...

It’s tradition in the Netherlands to take a dip in the sea on the morning of January 1st. Yep, you read that right; people dive in the North Sea with nothing more than their swimwear out of free will. It’s called Nieuwjaarsduik and it is so popular that...

Sea-side-restaurant

Cala Conills is definitely my top pick when it comes to seaside-restaurants-with-a-great-view-and-great-food (quite a category here). This restaurant slash beach club is perfect for a romanic late night dinner.  Fish is a must of course, but being a vegetarian, I was...

Walking In Deija

I used to think Mallorca was one big party island, but now I’ve been there a few times (I even got married there in a beautiful garden) I know that’s not at all true. My favorite thing to do on the island – except for getting married, but you only do that once *...
