My 2024 trips: a year in review
Another year is about to go by, and it's time to reflect on the destinations that I visited this year, and to start dreaming about the ones I'll be exploring in 2025.

10 series & films to travel while binge-watching
During these pandemic restricting times, I believe it is okay to admit we've all had our fair share of staying at home.

Here is a selection of my favorites to explore the world while binge-watching. Follow along!

An ‘unpresidented’ weekend
What an 'unpresidented' weekend it was! I have to admit I did not attend any of the big events these days in Washington DC, nor Trump's Inauguration nor the Women's March.
Instead I decided to stay at home and declutter my apartment - see related post here.
