The highlight and most eastern stop of our “8-Country, 8-Day Birthday Road Trip” was Budapest where I spent my 27th birthday. We stayed at Estilo Fashion Hotel right on Vaci Street in the center of shops, restaurants, cafes and just a minutes walk to the nearest Hop on Hop Off bus stop […]
WOW! What a blast. Kees and I eloped in the Caribbean and celebrated with friends and family in Canada but never celebrated in The Netherlands. We were so fortunate, 8.5 months later, to have the opportunity to throw a party for our Dutch family and friends. All thanks […]

Kazakhstan was the fourth country I ever visited abroad and will always have a special place in my heart and memories for that reason. Although we were only able to stay a short time due to visa complications, we still left with some great, laughable and memorable stories […]
