Paris Museum Pass experience
The Paris Museum Pass is ideal for tourists who want to visit many museums in a short period of time, for a relatively low price. During a city trip to Paris, I took advantage of it and visited no less than ten museums in two days. Therefore, I am happy to share my Paris Museum Pass experience. Free museums in Paris Although I visited the French capital regularly for five and a half years and even lived there for a while, I had never heard of the Paris Museum Pass. Perhaps because I am not an active museum-goer, but also…

Night train to Prague: my experience
The Czech capital of Prague is a fun destination for a weekend getaway. Of course, you can take the plane or drive to Prague. But did you know that the night train to Prague is also an option? Board the train in the evening in the Netherlands and the next morning you drive into Prague’s central station. Together with Ernestina, I chose this option and took the night train from Deventer to Prague. I am happy to share my experience. Train Deventer Prague The night train to Prague is not a “normal” timetable. And to some extent you can compare…

Weekend in Eindhoven: what to do and where to eat?
A weekend trip with girlfriends, I love it! Together with Ernestina, her cousin and a friend of her cousin, I went to Eindhoven for a weekend.

Parking in Eindhoven Since Eindhoven is quite a drive from Twente, we left on time. All together we were on the road for almost two hours. Just before lunch time we arrived at the…

Visiting Fabrique des Lumières in Amsterdam
What to do during a weekend in Amsterdam? That’s what Julia and I wondered when we spent a few days in our capital city. We wanted to do more than just shopping and eating. But also wanted to do something that can only be done in Amsterdam. In the end we chose the Fabrique des Lumières, an art exhibition, but slightly different from a normal exposation. The paintings are projected on the wall, so it feels like you can walk right through them. Atelier de Lumières Paris The concept of the Fabrique des Lumières Amsterdam is from the same creators…

The Czech capital is simply super photogenic.

Backpacking in Asia – Week 2
I am currently solo traveling in southeast Asia. On my blog I am sharing my weekly experiences during my trip. This time I am writing all about my days in Kanchanaburi, visiting an ethical (hands-off) elephant sanctuary and Songkran in Bangkok.

Through my guesthouse I had booked a minivan that picked me up at my hotel in the morning. On the way I mostly slept and looked out the window a bit. In Kanchanaburi I had lunch at a…

What to do in Vienna in summer?
What to do in Vienna in summer? That’s what I wondered during a heat wave in Vienna when I was there for a city break. In summer, the temperatures can be quite high and then it is quite a challenge to keep your cool. I would like to give you some tips for Vienna in the summer. During my trip it was over 30 degrees. Like any big city, Vienna in the heat is not ideal. Because of all the buildings, the heat lingers for a long time and the temperature can be several degrees above the temperature outside the…

Best cheesecake in Prague at petite France
‘This is the best cheesecake I ate in Prague and definitely a reason to come back to the city.’ I said enthusiastically when I was with Ernestina at Petite France in Prague. This French bakery is an absolute hot spot in Prague that should not be missed during your city break. Not only does it look fantastic (and is very photogenic), but their baked goods are to die for! We were on our way to the dancing house when we came across Petite France. The French Bakery in downtown Prague particularly stood out because of its green color. Which matched…
