For years I have been dreaming of visiting San Sebastian, a coastal city in the Northern part of Spain. It is the cultural capital of Basque country and also known as Donostia in the Basque language. San Sebastian is known for its many Michelin star restaurants with exquisite cuisine for group dinners but also romantic…

CANGGU.
Last 2 days I spent with Almi in Canggu to celebrate her birthday. We got a nice villa via AirBnB and explored Canggu using a motorbike and walking. There are many foodie places to explore and I personally like Canggu somewhat more than Seminyak as it’s not as crowded and touristy. In February the beaches…
NUSA DUA AND PENIDA.
click hereAfter traveling for +/- 2 weeks I just wanted some me-time and chose to stay at one of the many resorts at Nusa Dua: MELIA BALI. I have to admit that I didn’t really took the chance to explore the area as I arrived late in the afternoon and the next day I spent…
LOMBOK.
After a private boat tour with Gili Getaway because there was no one else traveling to Lombok, we arrived at this gorgeous hotel in the middle of a local neighbourhood. When you read about Lombok, you actually think it’s quite a boring island, but because so much is still untouched it has beautiful scenery and very…
GILI TRAWANGAN.
The days in Ubud and Seminyak went by so quickly and would have loved to spend some more time with Nadine who taught me so much about the Indonesian culture. Almi arrived the same day that Nadine left, so after the friend swap it was time for new adventures! The last night in Seminyak we…
SEMINYAK.
After Ubud it was time to go to Seminyak to explore all the amazing foodie places that I was looking forward to for so long! I’ve literally been searching for the best places on (travel/foodie) blogs and Instagram and I could spend weeks just eating in Seminyak (and Canggu). This is how it all started.. starring every…
HARISSA CARROTS.
(Sometimes) I like to spice up my food without creating an overwhelming heat. Harissa is one of my favourite spices to give this extra touch to plain food. Together with the honey it still maintains the sweet flavour of the carrots, the mint leaves for that freshness and who doesn’t love feta cheese for some…
GINGER TURMERIC CARROT SOUP.
Last weekend I made a lentil dish from Jamie Oliver’s 15 Minute Meals for which I needed carrots and hence had a bunch of carrots leftover. I wanted to make something warm and comforting because it was raining outside and the weather couldn’t be more depressive.
PESTO SAVORY OATS.
Savoury oats are definitely my new favourite way of having a filling breakfast bowl. I really like to start my day sweet, but sometimes I’m really craving eggs. I guess you can’t say I’m a real Dutchie as I don’t like to start my day with bread. Therefore savoury oats are a great healthy alternative,…
