  • I left my ❤️❤️❤️ in Amsterdam

    I left my ❤️❤️❤️ in Amsterdam

    What is it about Amsterdam that we love so much? There is something electric about Amsterdam. It has a gravitational pull on my heart, but that’s okay. I love it. The city, the architecture, the history, the culture, the politics, the design, the innovation, the way of life merge into this beautifully blended city and […]

    Rotterdam:  A thriving and innovative city you need to check out

    Introduction Rotterdam is a city that was reborn after the second world war. After much of it was destroyed during the war, it regained its position as a port hub and reimagined itself as a modern city, built into the leftovers of old Rotterdam. Some of the country’s most iconic contemporary buildings, such as the […]

    I Miss Post: For the Love of Postcards

    Postcards. A timeless souvenir, with so little you can do so much. You can find them worldwide, a tangible memory of a trip, a memento to remind your friends and loved ones that you’re thinking of them.

  • Coffee Rituals

    Coffee Rituals

    The ritual of making coffee is both meditative and exciting. It is processional, each step with a specific reason, no extras, and no shortcuts, from grinding the beans to the hypnotic circling of the water into the dripper, the smell, the bloom, and the anticipation of brewed elixir. I would conduct similar steps when I […]

  • Breda: Street art and small city charm

    Breda: Street art and small city charm

    Introduction While visiting the Netherlands, Breda is a beautiful city to explore and relax after Amsterdam or Rotterdam’s hustle and bustle. A smaller city, comparatively, yet a cozy and dynamic feeling. There is an entrepreneurial buzz in the town that draws you in with all the start-ups, pop-ups, and small bricks and mortars dispersed throughout […]

    Festive cinema – 25 Christmas Films

    As we move into the final month of 2020, it also happens to be the year’s festive end, if 2020 was a typical year. 2020 has thrown us some major curveballs, but now that it’s officialy December 1st, so it’s jingle all the way. I suppose the silver lining in all of this is that […]

    Beach Volleyball in the Carribean

    Beach volleyball became a significant part of my life while I was living on the island of Roatán in Honduras. Almost every day, I would play. We would meet at 4 pm, at the End of the World Beach Bar in the West End. The court was situated perfectly on the beach, with a lovely […]

    5 Card Games I Learned in Quarantine

    Island Quarantine From March 16th to July 16th, I had been in lockdown on a small Caribbean island, Roatán, in Honduras.
