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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Yesterday Mom and I took off on our road trip down to Spain for “The Travel Blog Exchange” aka #TBEX, the world’s leading conference for Travel Bloggers. Somehow we turned a few day blogging conference in Spain into a wonderful road trip itinerary where #TBEX is just one […]
Last weekend Jess, Shane, Mom and I went down to Utrecht for the day for a small #TRLT tweetmeet. We met two of our Dutch members from The Road Less Travelled Twitter chat, Antonette and Martijn who participate under the account @we12travel. It was certainly the most beautiful […]
As promised, this post is dedicated to Shane Dallas (or more commonly known as @thetravelcamel) my fellow founder of #TRLT, our weekly Twitter travel chat which stands for The Road Less Travelled. Shane is a professional public speaker, traveller and photographer. His photography was what stood out to […]

If you’ve read and loved it too, please take the time to leave your review for baby #2 http://www.amazon.com/Sihpromatum-Backp…/…/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1… If you don’t have amazon, goodreads always works too! 🙂 And lastly, if […]
Hey guys, so today I thought, since many have been hassling me for not working on “Rusty Tracks and Booby Traps”, I would share this guest post to keep you occupied while I stick my nose in Indian curry! When you think of the word BINGO do you […]
This is no April Fool’s Joke, though it does feel like it might be one. Six years ago today, I stepped onto Dutch soil for the first time with just 40 euros in my pocket, wondering if the man of my dreams would be there to greet me. […]
We left Alkmaar around 9:00 am right as a nationwide power outage hit. “That’s strange” I thought as Kees yelled from the shower, “why did the light just go out!?” When Mom came over, ready to be the chauffeur for the day, we quickly learned that her house […]
You may find it a bit ironic that as an author of two books, I have never been part of or attended a SINGLE book club. I don’t know why, but for some reason the opportunity never presented itself until my dear friend Jessica, who is also a […]
