    What to do in Vienna in summer?

    / No Comments

    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…

    Backpacking in southeast Asia – Week 1

    / No Comments

    Even though I regularly share my adventures in Asia on Polarsteps, I also want to share some updates from this special trip here on my blog. I would like to share everything I experienced during my first week in Thailand. Later I will link to more extensive blogs about the different activities in Asia.  Monday, April 1 – the day before departure It feels very unrealistic that my big trip is now so close. Backpacking in Asia always felt like something I would like to do someday in the future. And now suddenly my solo adventure is only one day…

    Cheesecake Praag

    ‘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…

    8 sights in Prague you shouldn’t miss | City trip Prague

    /

    A city trip to Prague really shouldn’t be missing from your bucket list. The city has everything to offer. Beautiful buildings, an interesting history, lots of restaurants with cozy terraces, nice stores and plenty of photogenic places. The city is quite compact so you can do everything on foot. Along the way you will be surprised by the beauty of the city. And while you’re there, you really shouldn’t miss these sights in Prague. Charles Bridge The Charles Bridge is the most famous bridge over the Vltava, the river that flows right through the city. The bridge connects the Old…

    Goedkoop hotel Praag

    During my Prague city trip, I slept at a cheap hostel in Prague with Ernestina. We slept in the A&O Prague Rhea hostel, a large hostel on the outskirts of Prague. We booked a package trip, including night train to Prague and two nights in the city. We could choose from several hotels and hostels, but went for the cheapest option: A&O Prague Rhea. The hostel gets good reviews, the pictures looked good, and the hostel easily accessible by public transportation. Video hostel in Prague: After a night’s sleep on the overnight train from Deventer to Prague, our train arrived…

    /
    Hotel Hoog Holten

    In the middle of nature, on the edge of National Park Sallandse Heuvelrug you can find hotel Hoog Holten. A wonderful location to stay overnight if you want to spend a weekend in Salland or to go out for a nice dinner. Hotel Hoog Holten is a fantastic wedding location as well. And that’s exactly the reason for my visit to this hotel, the wedding of Ernestina and Chiel. I was an evening guest at the party and stayed overnight at the hotel. So I couldn’t resist to write a blogpost about my stay in this hotel. Hotel Hoog Holten…
