If you love magic come and stay with us… If you are a Potterhead you probably are aware of The Georgian House in London. Even if you are not keeping up to date with the hotel business, you have most likely heard of this Harry Potter hotel. If not, stay tuned… All right, not the whole hotel is...

Literary inspiration
I love inspiring quotes. Some quotes you read just give you that “this is absolutely right” moment. The below quote by J.K. Rowling is such a quote to me. Since this whole blog is based on travelling, also in fictional worlds, I had to share it here. Do you agree with the quote? Is this what reading feels...
Drovers Dog: where Amsterdam meets Australia
Some of you might know that I’m quite a foodie. I like nearly everything and will definitely try almost anything food-wise.

Fiction meets reality
Travelling is a great thing. You explore new countries, cities, cultures, food, you name it. But to me travelling in the real world is not the only way of travelling I love. Travelling through books, especially fantasy, is a great way to explore as well.
Foodie heaven @ Rotterdam
Part of travelling to me is trying local food and drinks. By the time I arrive home I often long back to the food and drinks I tasted. International food markets are a great solution to the problem of missing local food. If this sounds familiar to you, then make sure to visit the Markthal in Rotterdam (The...
