As I told you in this article last week, I don't set any new year resolutions. However, I do like to make a lot of new travel plans. As I live in the USA, I made a list of the most amazing places in this country that I would love to visit in 2017. As always, my list is quite extensive (a girl can dream right) but I limited...

There are a few typical Dutch things I miss now that I live the expat life in San Francisco. So when we were back in Amsterdam for Christmas I made sure I feed those cravings. Like eating 'bitterballen' (kind of fried meatballs) and 'ontbijtkoek' (kind of honey cake) as well as visiting my favourite places. Like the Museum of Bags and Pursus (Tassenmuseum Hendrikje). As I am a big baglover,...

Glitters, glisters and sparkles..! The more the better at Christmas time. They assure the ultimate party spirit and blend so well with all the Christmas lights. Plus, you make a shiny entrée when you enter the venue where you will celebrate Christmas. There is no other piece as vibrant and fun as a sequin dress so it might not come as a surprise that I reached for this iconic holiday...

The Christmas lights are on, the trees are decorated and the carols are coming through the radio. Christmas is coming..! Are you excited?! Counting down the days?

That is why the ultimate Christmas wish list was prepared with my favourite accessories and apparel that would...

One of the first places that caught my eye when I did my Instagram research for places to visit in Seattle, was Saint Helens Cafe (click here to visit their website). With its lovely interior and delicious food that is so well presented, it was very hard to miss. Saint Helens is an American style brasserie located along the Burke Gilman trail in the upcoming Laurelhurst neighbourhood of Seattle. When...

So when my husband asked me whether I wanted to go to Seattle, the answer was simple. This city had been on top of my bucket list for a long time, so I was very excited to finally go there. And when I asked my best friend 'Google' to find me a 'romantic boutique hotel', Hotel Ändra in Seattle popped up. This hotel has the best location, had the best reviews...

This Sunday we experienced the warmest day since we have arrived in San Francisco five months ago. We were quite surprised by this amazing sunny weather, but our friends explained that this Indian Summer is quite normal for the City at the bay. We made sure we spent the weekend outdoors, close to the pool and the outside grill to have a big bbq. I was so happy that I could...
