I recently wrote a blog post about a winter walk that lead me and my friend Saskya from my house in Haarlem, via restaurant De Stinkende Emmer, to the beautiful estate Elswout.

Winter walk around Haarlem- Elswout
Walking against diabetes Last september I started getting a bit more serious about walking. “Who? You???” Yes, that’s right, me, notorious couch potato, I know. Changing your diet, doing more exercise, and taking medication are the main three ways to get your diabetes under control. Since I did not want to get even more strict […]
Haarlem in winter
Haarlem in winter I’m -reluctantly- back in Haarlem, Holland. Even with more reluctance since it is winter now. Brrrr…..

Haarlem Hotspots - Native
Haarlem is getting hipper Haarlem is as charming as it is boring; that’s what I used to think and say about my hometown. I know, pretty harsh, right? Don’t get me wrong. It doesn’t mean that I don’t live a happy life there, mind you! But even though Haarlem was praised several years in a […]
