Weekly blog #144: Off to Puglia! But not before doing a little recap first…

It may seem strange, but today, for the first time, I’m flying from Maastricht Airport, the airport closest to home. It’s one of the few airports around here (read: Eindhoven, Düsseldorf, Brussels…) with a direct flight to Bari in Puglia, and that’s exactly where I’m going this August. But before I leave and my blog and Instagram …

Weekblog #144: Op naar Puglia! Maar eerst nog even een terugblik…

Het lijkt misschien gek, maar vandaag vlieg ik voor het eerst van mijn leven vanaf de luchthaven van Maastricht, het vliegveld het dichtst bij huis. Ze hebben namelijk als één van de weinige luchthavens hier in de buurt (lees: Eindhoven, Düsseldorf, Brussel…) een directe vlucht naar Bari in Puglia, en laat dat nou precies mijn …

Blog settimanale #144: In partenza per la Puglia! Ma non prima di aver fatto un piccolo riassunto…

Può sembrare strano, ma oggi, per la prima volta, prendo un volo dall’aeroporto di Maastricht, l’aeroporto più vicino a casa. È uno dei pochi aeroporti qui intorno (Eindhoven, Düsseldorf, Bruxelles…) con un volo diretto per Bari in Puglia, ed è proprio lì che andrò questo agosto. Ma prima di partire e prima che il mio …

Weekly blog #142: Going for a weekend of champagne tastings in France: how, what and where?

This past weekend, me and my friends went to the world-famous Champagne region in Northern France for two days filled with – of course – champagne tastings, enjoying the French cuisine, beautiful sceneries, and lots of fun.

Weekblog #142: Een weekend champagne proeven in Frankrijk: hoe, wat en waar?

Afgelopen weekend was ik met vrienden naar de wereldberoemde champagnestreek in Noord-Frankrijk voor twee dagen van – natuurlijk – champagneproeverijen, maar ook van het genieten van de Franse keuken, prachtige landschappen, en heel veel gezelligheid.

Weekly blog #141: Heat waves, surprise parties and packing stress

Do you remember what I wrote in my blog three weeks ago? About how I would apply a “tropical schedule” when the outside temperatures would go up to thirty-five degrees and how I didn’t really see that happening in the Netherlands anytime soon? Well, challenge accepted, they must have thought up there in heaven. Today, and …
