Loving the hippie vibe in Coffee Bay

During this trip to South Africa I definitely wanted to visit the untouched Wild Coast, and it seemed that the best place to visit was Coffee Bay.

This is why Rotterdam has the best skyline

Although I love Amsterdam. Rotterdam is the place where I studied for four years. This underrated city has its own charms that mustn’t be overlooked. Last weekend I finally took the time to go up the Euromast. A 185 meter high tower that was built in 1960 for the Floriade. Although it must have been…
