Amsterdam wrapped up
After a covid-y cock up where I moved to Edinburgh, back to the fam-jam in Canada, to England, and then back to Amsterdam – I am currently living in the EXACT room where I stayed 5 years ago (good thing I don’t compare myself to other people or I would be so embarrassed right now).…

Little town, it’s a quiet village
I wanted to go to Colmar since the day I was born and so I went last weekend. Although I prefer trains, the 8+ hour journey and hefty price tag forced me to take a plane from Amsterdam. The closest/ easiest connection to Colmar is either Basel, Switzerland or Strasbourg, France. Sort by price =…

Brilliant bookstores and lovely libraries
Reading is magic. I particularly enjoy channelling my inner Gandolf by surrounding myself with stacks of books and old parchment paper. Although right now I’ll have to settle for my own bookshelf and crumpled newspaper that will eventually be used for the cat litter box. LIVIN LA VIDA LOCA. Especially right now during Covid when…

Coimbra, Aveiro, Porto
When I galavanted around Portugal my route, again, was: Coimbra Coimbra is really something. Definitely worth a full day here. There is the oldest university in Portugal along with some twisting alleyways and a cool view of the layered town from the bridge. Rumour had it that the famous Old (Joanine) Library in the University…

Southern France Fresh
I scooted down to France for a little 10 day adventure. My train trip was as follows: City of Love Nothing makes you hate hand holding more than being single in the City of Love. However, I was re-reading Harry Potter so I was guaranteed to have a good time. So I did. I took…

Merlin’s Beard Berlin
Berlin is eccentric. People have tattoos and dyed purple hair. My first impression of Berlin was that it is made up of memorials and kebab shops. Is that rude? Maybe, but I would rather hurt you with truths than with lies. That being said, kebabs are delicious so I don’t see that as a negative.…

Espana
This is way late. Two years and four months too late but for uni I went on an exchange to Cordoba, Spain and I saw some things. Malaga I flew into Malaga with my mother. What a delight she is travelling, like a toddler but with a more diverse vocabulary. Eats: Bar Mercado Atarazanas in…

Yoga in the Dam
I have been going to various yoga studios around where I live in order to take advantage of the trial week offers that they have. All the classes were taught in English. The majority of them I had to book online beforehand since some classes fill up quickly (depending on the size of the studio).…

Yee Peng and Loi Kathrong
This festival is straight out of Disney’s Tangled. So weird that a 750-year-old country would copy a 2010 film, but okay. You’ve all seen that perfect snap of those lantern releases on the gram. That was the most millennial thing I have ever said, sorry. I meant to say that there are gorgeous photos on…

Efteling, Netherlands
No, I didn’t just make up that word. It is the name of a fan-fricken-tastic amusement park in the Netherlands. It’s based on the Brothers Grimm fairy-tales. Now, you may think oh but I am just simply too old to go to a fairy-tale amusement park. WRONG. Well, mostly wrong. There is one ride that…
