One full week in Istanbul. Where I usually take 2-3 days for a city trip, for this gorgeous city I had all the time in the world to explore, as this city has so much to offer! This article is a long read (but including pictures) of what to do in Istanbul, how to get…
When doing a city trip, it’s always a good idea to combine it with a visit to a place close by. I’m staying for 6 days in Istanbul, so I have more than enough time to explore the sights outside of the main tourist areas. Today I decided to visit Princes’ Island, and specifically the…
A 6 day road trip through France with my Dad! After coming out of a winter in lockdown, it was about time for another trip. As I learned from last year, the perfect time to go abroad is during the summer as I don’t have much hope going anywhere coming Fall. For years I wanted…
Visiting South Limburg in the Netherlands is always a good idea! This time I decided it would be fun to explore the hills of Limburg by e-bike. The day started in the town Voerendaal where we picked up our bikes at Roger Flucken. For €25 a day we rented a new VELO DE VILLE AEB…

But one…
Let’s reflect on the positive sides of 2020. It was a year that travel was nearly impossible, events were cancelled and a huge economic impact on my personal situation was taken. It was also a year where I found renewed energy and motivation into my photography passion. The past years I focused mainly on travel…
Exactly one year ago we moved into our new home in Holland Park. After the walls were plastered and painted, the floor in place, already some furniture delivered and finally the kitchen installed. We rented a minivan to move the last of our stuff and as last, also our cat Yuna. A lot has happened…
Confession, I made a switch from Canon to Sony photography gear. The Sony A7 III mirrorless camera had some interesting advanced tech that is a nice upgrade from my 10 year old Canon 5D mark II. To compliment this new camera, I rented the Sony 24mm F1.4 GM at Budgetcam. To get a good feel…
On 21 June the COVID-19 lockdown in Spain was lifted. On 25 June I flew to Malaga airport. Being on Schiphol airport in these times felt surreal, to me it was unclear where it was mandatory to wear a face mask and where not. Finally on board the airplane I noticed it was reasonably full;…
