    Experience the Dutch nature

    When I think about adventure, experiences outside my comfort zone flash through my head. But now I have challenged myself to look for adventures within the Netherlands. For this I thank COVID-19, who forced me to rediscover my environment and home base. The first discovery was immediately spot on and I can tell you that this makes you want more. My first discovery The National Park de Biesbosch, on but 30 minutes from Rotterdam. This discovery proves once again that I don't have to look far for nature and adventure. There are plenty of special places in our little frog country. To be precise, are there 21 national parks in the Netherlands of which…

    Why more and more people travel to Colombia

    I've already written a few blogs about distant destinations, but today I want to dedicate a special blog to my homeland, Colombia. Colombia was until a few years ago a forgotten place somewhere in South America, where almost no one dared to travel to. Luckily, more and more people find my great country. Colombia has everything you are looking for as a traveler: nature, culture, beach, ecotourism, adventure and the main: the contagious optimism of its inhabitants. The famous book by the Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez must: “Honderd jaar eenzaamheid optimisme” heten i.p.v. loneliness. Because one thing is certain, you will experience all in Colombia, except loneliness. Wie ooit in aanraking

    Cruising New Caledonia & Vanuatu

      Cruising New Caledonia & Vanuatu was our activity in the spring of this year. When we were away very far from Europe but still very close, on a piece of France in the Pacific called “Great Earth”, or better known as New Caledonia. For the second time in our history we took a cruise trip, this time to explore a few islands of New Caledonia and Vanuatu. At first I thought just for cruising “Grey Nomads” was, but that is my opinion changed quickly. I can now see the many advantages of cruising such as the price which is much more than with other species included holidays, alles aan boord hebben

    Argentina at the end of the world

    Argentina is waiting for you at the end of the world Argentina is without a doubt a controversial country full of extremes. Kings begon in Buenos Aires. The turmoil of politics was clearly visible in the streets of the city and the tension was to read the face of its inhabitants, The Porteños as they are called. Every moment could happen something radical, Therefore, there was a lot of police on the streets. On the one hand I felt safe, but on the other hand, I did not know how the situation could develop further. Gelukkig hebben we daar weinig van gemerkt en konden we zonder problemen onze reis voortzetten.

    Travel lesson 6: World Traveler's thinking around

      think, we all do without exceptions. But around thinking is a form that I personally did not know until I collapsed in the adventure of travel. Ik was meer een zwart/wit denker die af en toe in grijze tinten kon denken, en NEE niet door het lezen van dat bekende boek over Mr Grey :). Reizen is een bron van lessen en inzichten en zo kwam ik er tijdens de reis door Nieuw-Zeeland achter dat rond denken een mooie manier is om het leven en de verwachtingen van anderen een plekje te geven. Aan het hele rond denken gebeuren is een verhaal aan vooraf gegaan. Dit verhaal

    The world adventure has started

    The world adventure has started. Last week, we left Madrid, with a smile and a lot of great memories. The city is fantastic, but the people who crossed our path and took the time to get to know us better were actually the best part of our Spanish adventure. This proves that as humans we want nothing more than to be connected to others. On the way home we made a stop in Paris to visit a friend and together while enjoying a good French wine and many delicacies we were able to think back on our time in Madrid.. It felt strange driving home again,…

    Travel lesson 3: Choosing between two friends

      What can still take unexpected turns life. If you had told me five years ago that I would take a small pension to explore the world, I would have laughed hard and maybe a few excuses have figured out why I was not going to do that. And maybe that is the problem, Find excuses to justify why we are not going to do what we do like to do secretly, but not yet dare. A good friend asked me how I did it. Letting go and start all over again with no guarantee that I could pick up the thread again in two years. And my honest answer:…
