My first real vacation since I came back from Asia. Oh and I desperately needed to be away, even if it’s only for a week. I’ve been going skiing with my family ever since I was five. With a few exceptions we always go to the same place in Austria; Ellmau, a small village that…
When going to a foreign country, you might deal with a different currency than your own. Using an unknown currency can be both scary and exciting; you have to get used to this new value and figure out what you can buy with it. XE Currency is a great app for your smartphone where you…
Coming home from an amazing trip, you maybe want to have all your memories bundled together in one photo album. To do this I had to make a selection out of the 4000 pictures I made during my travels. It can be helpful to already make a pre selection during your travels, but at the…
In the weekend of 29-31 August 2014 I drove my car to the picturesque Veldhoven where I visited one of the largest anime conventions in the Netherlands; Abunai.

The Gili’s are 3 small islands just of the coast of Lombok. Come here when looking for a tropical retreat on an island away from the island. Relax on the beach, swim in crystal clear waters or go cycling around the island and watch the sunset. But don’t leave the island without seeing a turtle.…
