And just like that, it’s the first of May already. Labour Day, and a national holiday here in Italy. A fortnight ago – in my previous blog – I gave you a very comprehensive update of what has been happening in my life lately. Some of you loyal readers told me they’d love for me …

Back home in the Netherlands, it was carnival last week but unfortunately, I didn’t manage to go home to celebrate it this year. One of my friends sent me a message: do you feel FOMO? Meaning: The Fear of Missing Out. My answer was clear: I am not afraid of missing out on something, I …
Yes, here it is: another Monday blog! Three weeks have passed already since I published the last one. I did start putting something on paper last weekend, but then the sun took hold of me. And that’s how a new week dawned in which it was time for five full nights of Sanremo, the historic …
Happy New Year! It may already be the ninth of January, but I simply haven’t had the opportunity to wish you a happy 2022 here on my blog before now. You might have noticed it: last Monday, I didn’t publish any blog. It was my birthday that followed after a Christmas period that was busier …

I guess the title of this blog says it all. Being offline for a little, because the most precious thing we can gift each other is time, love and attention. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, no matter how or with whom you’ve celebrated. And now… let the countdown to the 2023 begin! …
And just like that, it was the Monday before Christmas. It means the beginning of a jam-packed but very cosy week every single year, but this time, it really takes the cake. Hence, I have to keep the blog a little shorter this week, although I feel somewhat sorry about that. After all, with all …
In the previous blog, I told you that I now have my own place in Milan, and how it all worked out so quickly. It had quite an open-ended ending however: I was about to set foot in the house for the very first time and was I going to tell you all about what …

After all, it happened. For the first time in three years, I skipped a Monday blog. And although the idea still bothers me a little, I know it was bound to happen one day, right? And if there was one week in which it was truly impossible to find even one single hour of time, …

I believe I ended my previous blog with my rather busy itinerary of this second half of November: from Genova to Madrid and from Bologna to Florence. That’s also the exact reason why you couldn’t read this blog on Monday already like you’re used to. I had a late evening flight to Madrid on Monday …

And just like that, my first two weeks in Milan are already over. At times, it seems like two months have passed already, given the number of things I’ve already done. There was an elegant premiere night, my first Candlelight concert, the reunion with three friends who all welcomed me with open arms, Halloween, an …
