Hi there! 

​Since you've come so far to click on 'about', I better obey the rules of this blog and tell you a little something about myself!
​I love to write- always have and (probably) always will. It runs in my family (moms side), we just can't help ourselves really. Short stories, recipes, travel adventures: as long as there's some humour or weirdness in a situation, I'll try to write it down and hope it'll make you smile a little. I have a 'gift' to get myself into weird situations on a daily base so there's always a story to write! 

I'm 27 and spend my time between The Hague & Malaga. ​Apart from my little library (Austen to Brönte, Yeats & Murakami) and substantial shoe collection (yet I always end up wearing either flip flops or cowboy boots) I'm kinda emotionally attached to my Red Sox pyjama & old hockey sweater. I'm a sucker for bad puns, G&T's and have a tendency to mess up lyrics. Who knew George Ezra in 'Budapest' doesn't sing "...and for you-ou, you-ou my libido!" ?! I sure didn't.

When I'm not reading, writing, planning trips, making lists or taking notes you can find me in the kitchen, baking cookies, casseroles and pretty much everything else that includes insane amounts of butter. I tell my friends it's made with love (it is!) to make up for the calories, I don't think they buy it but luckily they haven't stopped eating yet (and somehow they're not morbidly obese either). Cooking aside, traveling is my 'one true love' (and no that's not sad!). I get restless after a few moths at home and that's usually a good excuse to pack my suitcase/backpack again. I spent some months backpacking through South America and a summer hiking the Beara Way in Ireland (lot's of rain, rain & sometimes even rain, but such a beautiful country and so many kind people)! Although I love to travel by myself, I love low key family vacations in the Swiss mountains just as much. This year will be about getting to know Spain better!

If you're still with me, yay! You get some brownie points. I hope you'll enjoy my blog and I'd love to hear from you!
