After a small intermezzo -my article about the exhibition ‘The Art of Banksy’ in Amsterdam- I now continue with my series about Groningen. Today I’m taking you to the Groningen Museum, one of my favorite museums in the Netherlands. What I love about the Groningen museum When this museum was built (1994) I no longer lived […]
Beach Pavillion San Blas in Bloemendaal is awesome!
Beach pavilions in the Netherlands I live in a charming, but sleepy town in the Netherlands called Haarlem. It is located halfway between Amsterdam and the beach. The nearest beach is Bloemendaal aan Zee. A less touristy stretch than its neighbor beach Zandvoort. Bloemendaal is more focussed on the hip, trendy crowd. Normally, all beach […]
TipoTango - Argentine Tango in Eindhoven
Blog series about Eindhoven Over the last weeks I have brought you a complete series about Eindhoven, Hollands fifth largest city, located in the south of the country. I wrote about what to see and do, where to sleep, shop, eat and drink and about art in Eindhoven. Further I visited hip and happening Strijp-R and […]
Things to do and see in Strijp-S in Eindhoven
What is Strijp-S? Strijp-S is one of the former factory areas of Philips, Holland’s famous light bulbs and electronics producer. At the moment the vibrant heart of Strijp-S lies in and around the buildings along the Torenallee. Since some years, the neighborhood is under development and turned into a creative, cultural hotspot. It is the location […]
Living in two countries

Dreaming of Bali’s beautiful beaches and sunsets
It’s cold, wet, windy and grey here in the Netherlands. No, I’m not a winter-person. Living 6 months per year in hot Singapore makes it easier for me to endure the Dutch climate, but I cannot help my thoughts sometimes wandering off and dreaming of e.g. Bali’s beautiful beaches and sunsets. Maybe it’s time […]

Let’s pick up our canal tour where we ended in part 1.
A tropical day at the Dutch coast
Phew! Is that a dutch beach? Really? With all those people? Under that burning sun? Yep, it is! Very atypical dutch weather, I have to admit. But hey, wait a minute, how did we get here, at the beach of Zandvoort on a sunny summer day? Let’s roll back in time and start at the […]
Three months in Haarlem, the Netherlands
My three months in Holland are coming to an end soon. Next week I fly to Singapore. A lot happened this May, June and July. No dramatic events, just daily life and casual things. I had a great time. Here’s a photo reportage of the past months: I enjoyed being around my friends: 1.Jo, on […]
BoHo Gypsy
Being at home in the Netherlands these months -so no travelling- does not mean I cannot LOOK like a Wandering BoHo Gyspy;-)! I felt for an extravagant boho look today. Do you like it or is it too much for you? And since we are talking about fashion now anyways, I was featured today with […]
