Summer 2016 we visited The Netherlands for the last time as a couple. At that time I worked with a Not-for-Profit organization that took me to Eastern Europe on a regular base. Once in Europe, a little detour to my home country was easy enough. When I left that organization, my trips to Europe became …
It can happen that you have plans to carry out. Weeks you have been looking forward to the event and once the day of execution arrives things go different than hoped for. Okay, you make a start, but eventually you conclude that you just have to do it again. Pictures and Videos As you might …
The latest posts on our blog were about holiday, barbecue, etc. Mostly happenings from after June this year. For this post, we have to go back to April and even a little earlier than that. This time it is about me, Cees, and the journey from feeling “mwah” to feeling “horrible”. Always something new on …

Vacation is different for everybody. When it comes to the ultimate holiday feeling, are your keywords related to water and cottage or airports and resorts. Maybe it is ‘cruise’ or ‘mountains’. Whilst road tripping in the Maritimes Cees points out his heart is beating a bit faster when he sees the Atlantic coastline, wind and water center …
Our first day of the holiday is behind us and it’s time to start exploring. Today the initial plan was simple: Cross the Nova Scotia border and head east following the coast line. No final destination and no plans regarding activities, other than returning to the cabin and make sure we don’t go hungry. Just, …
Like many people we have a few interesting years behind us. New adventures presented themselves together with their own unique challenges.
