By now the sun is out by itself for 12 hours per day so now I have the plants by the window side where it is also nice and warm. And since the seedlings have been there they have been growing like crazy!

There is just always a good reason to hit the mountains and run down some slopes even though the winter season has mostly passed over here already. And the snow season was weird when looking back at it.

So every thing together: Finding a nice river, with some entertainment to see with these rafters passing by and even finding a place for some food and drinks? Wow, that is a serious easy random find just

I had one of those special sunsets again a while back at the West side of the island of Koh Mook at a place called 'Charlie Beach' and I only think back to this day with super warm feelings on how chill

These rice fields are now more protected by law and that is a really good thing. So many stories are there that the land is sold and used to build more housing on, while everything is chopped down for

This was something else. The cream was creamy and more like sweet whipped cream and there was cinnamon on top and orange zest and a pinch of salt. And the salt and the orange...WOW, that was something

After I had been roaming around in Asia for a couple of weeks again, it again struck me how good and tasteful the kitchen is. So many countries, so many different flavors and most of all, so much better

And every day I sat at my table and tossed in a few pieces in the puzzle. And every day the pile of used handkerchiefs also seemed to grow with the amount of puzzle pieces laid on their specific spot.

Everything on this day was totally different from every other normal winter day here in the Netherlands and that is what I loved about it the most. This was something special, something different, something

And it goes on and on and on this winter with snow filling the days here in the Netherlands. As I was writing before here in my previous post this is something that doesn't happen very often that snow

When I think about winters and the way that I like it, I think about freezing cold, falling snow, black ice and hot chocolate. The reality of winter in the Netherlands couldn't be any more different in

Unlike the majority of the countries where the 26th of December is called boxing day because of some reason, here in the Netherlands the day is called the 'second day of Christmas' and there are two proper

Transportation by boat. If I could do this on any given day, then I totally would. Especially since taking an airplane to get somewhere isn't exactly my cup of tea, I would choose getting somewhere by

As I am traveling at the same time I am always keeping an eye out for some fun and weird little places to eat and explore what is going on. The standard half westernized place you can find at any corner,

I have been in Thailand more than once in my life but never twice to the same place. The country is so big and there is so much to see that there seems to be no reason to head out somewhere again, while

The first time I had ever seen the name 'Langkawi' passing by was when I was googling for where the show Survivor or as we call it Expedition Robinson was being recorded. The whole idea of a group of islands

This is one of the first years in like ever that I actually managed to read a bit more in the evenings versus only doomscrolling on my phone. And yes, ditching a bit of Hive has also helped in this. It

South East Asia has never stopped to seem to amaze me and Malaysia is another round of exactly this. For some reason I had never reached Malaysia before even though it is centrally located and the country

And as the sky went dark in the evening and I was riding my bike home from work, I wasn't entirely sure that what was falling out of the sky was either rain or if it was sleet. It didn't make the coat

For me the world of learning how to sail is just one big learning school which continues every day. Actually it hasn't been that long ago that I once set foot on a boat for the first time with the intention
