Happy Amazing Birthday to my Saweet!!! I can’t imagine what life would be like without him. He has supported me through so much and somehow managed to put up with my quarter life crisis, female emotions and teenage dramas for the past 7 years. Kees, I fall in […]
We were only on day two of our trip when I started receiving the “how am I going to survive with this chatterbox for 6 weeks?” face from poor Kees. The thing is, I tend to talk more than the average person, but when I’m happy I’m even […]
It was strange to pack up and leave the house and our visitors Sky and Adriana behind. They were flying the following day to Spain. I guess you know you’re a well-travelled family when Mom has to drive to Schiphol Airport three times in a week. With our trusty […]
PERU and BOLIVIA!!!!! This time it wasn’t NEARLY as difficult as it was when you had to guess Cape Verde, as my 100th country. The WINNERS of the signed paperbacks were Margriet Smit from Holland who guessed Peru first and Holly from U.K. who guessed BOTH Peru and […]
Want to wish my amazing big sister Bree a wonderful HAPPY 28th BIRTHDAY!!! She has had such an incredible and exciting life. She’s been to over 100 countries, got to experience the best of Australia for a year on The Best Job in the World and has certainly […]
The day started off early after only 4 hours of sleep. The lack of sleep was due to a wonderful visit with a girlfriend to all you can eat sushi the night before. Kees, Mom and I were in the car at 7am headed back to Antwerp, Belgium a 2 1/2 hour drive […]
We’ve BOOKED! Every year Kees and I go on an adventure for our birthdays which we share in the same week of June. In 2008 we were in Namibia, 2009 and 2010 home (Canada & Holland) 2011 we drove down to Paris, 2012 we ventured into the […]
Does anyone remember me mentioning that I had the most amazing sister in the world?? Well…. that was BEFORE she surprised me with this. Can’t quite decide now if she’s amazing or crazy. Let’s not let her light herself on fire for nothing. I have to agree with […]
I want to give a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the wildest mom on earth. I’m constantly told how inspiring my mom is and how lucky I am to have her. What I find most inspiring is how people always seem to imply that once you […]
While Mom and I were down in Spain attending the Travel Blogger Conference #TBEX, we stayed at Hotel Rigat. The conference took up most of our time, but returning to Rigat after a late #TBEX party seriously felt like going home. It’s got that cozy, home feeling with […]
Mom and I went down to Lloret de Mar, Spain to attend the Travel Blog Exchange (#TBEX) with zero expectations, thus leaving no room for disappointed. That wasn’t necessary because it was a blast. #TBEX blew us both away with how well they took care of hundreds of […]
Mom and I arrived safely back in Holland after a really enjoyable two-week road trip in Europe, hitting six wonderful countries (Holland, Belgium, France, Spain, Switzerland, Germany)! I’m so thankful to have the chance to make so many wonderful memories with my mom. I want to give a special […]
TODAY is our 10 year anniversary of a life changing event. Mom, Ammon, Bree and I took off on an adventure that lasted four years and took us through 80 countries as a family, changing all of our lives forever. It’s incredible to look back and see how […]
After 14 hours straight on the big highways the day before, we were thrilled to spend a day exploring the countryside on small roads and really get an intimate view of France’s landscape. We had the luxury of being able to just point up to a castle on […]
It’s such a privileged to have friends all over the world, and the opportunity to pop in and visit them in their homes. It’s like having family everywhere, always ready to open their door for us, and of course we will always do the same. We get to […]
