I’m writing those sentences in the train with watery eyes. Today marks the end of our life in Amsterdam. Today we handed in the keys of our beautiful apartment to start a new life in Australia. A few months ago, my husband and I were discussing what we would do if our Australian project didn’t [...]
Okay. This needs an explanation. 2.5 years ago, end of December 2022, I landed for the first time in Melbourne, Australia. Imagine, I have been working for 6 years at Ansell (an Australian company) . Where all my colleagues were painting Melbourne as THE best city, not only in Australia but also as the most [...]
I have been wanting to go to Switzerland for a long time. When my friend invited me to visit her in Zurich, I knew it was the perfect excuse to finally explore the country. Or at least, what is possible on a weekend. What followed was a weekend of good food, amazing views and the [...]
I hesitated for a long time about the type of honeymoon I wanted. For the longest time, I thought I wanted to do an amazing trip— a once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip. The first thing that came to mind was Africa. Doing a safari would have been a blast. Unfortunately, we ended up not choosing it. [...]

The famous Vespa trip in Italy. For more than 3 years I have seen this ad on my Insta. Casually driving with a cute Vespa during summer discovering the beautiful Tuscany. The dream, but up to spring of 2021, I didn’t really make an effort to look into it until I saw the ad again [...]
Rome. After many years trying to go to the "eternal city", I finally managed to board a plane and spend 4 full days with my favorite human in this amazing city. I was looking forward to it. I had heard so much about it and with my best friend being Italian, I had many expectations. [...]
The new year didn’t start in the best way and after 15 days of isolation I can tell you my mind started going crazy... or crazier, depends how you see it! The only thing I was thinking was how much I wanted to go out of the house. Plus it had been snowing in the [...]
