Let me start by saying Mount Bromo is an absolute must when travelling through Indonesia. However, everything around it doesn’t feel very pleasant to say the least. Arriving at Malang train station I noticed that getting to the foot of the volcano is less enjoyable compared to my other experiences throuhout Java. I was welcomed […]

Why you shouldn’t skip Jakarta
Funny enough I could only find a few positive blogs about Jakarta when I was preparing for my trip. Most people seem to escape the city as soon as they set foot in the capitol. It would be too crowded, noisy and very dirty. Moreover, it had too little to offer. Boy, how nothing turned […]
Traveling to Khao Sok by night train
In other words: from nightmare to paradise. Imagine it’s 3 o’clock in the after noon and you’re sitting by the pool of your 4 star hotel before heading to the nearest train station to catch the night train to Surat Thani, when all of a sudden your intestines go crazy. You start sweating like a […]

There’s a constant smell of delicious aromas mixed with traffic fumes and […]
When in Thailand..
I’m in love! With Thailand and it’s people. I don’t know what Thailand looked like before october 13th 2016. What I do know, is that after the longest serving King in the world has passed, Thailand remains the land of many smiles. Smiles that perhaps may have different meaning but the minute I arrived I […]
Een onverwachte nacht in Kuala Lumpur
Na lang te hebben uitgekeken naar die mooie reis, was het dan eindelijk zover! Op de geplande tijd mochten we boarden. ‘Yes, zin in!!!’ Nog snel sturen we de ouders een appje. ‘Hou van jullie.’ Alle passagiers zijn klaar voor vertrek en wachten vol verwachting tot de taxi naar de vertrekbaan begint. Dat duurt wel […]
