Never not #socialdistancing from you! 🌿 We have been spending our quarantine days away from home in cute cabins in the beautiful forest of the Veluwe. Though our blog income is pretty much gone now, we try to make the most out of our #coronaquarantine with long forest walks and a lot of quality time. How are you holding up? #staycation #veluwe #forestwalk

Our first Egypt blog is online! ✌ And it's all about the highlights of Caïro. You asked us for the must visits in Egypts capital besides the famous pyramids. We can tell you all about it, as we've explored the city for 4 days of our luggage problems. Check out the #linkinbio for our tips! #visitcairo #travelegypt #cairo

Hello new mini trip! 🌿 While we are still working on our photo edits and blog posts about Central America and Egypt - like this place at the Rio Dulce in Guatemala! - we're also doing a lot of mini trips in our home country. Last week was about exploring Sebastiaans old home town Amsterdam and we'll be there again tonight and tomorrow. We're staying at the most unique hotel in town. It's both the biggest and the smallest. Follow our stories to find out more! Do you already know which hotel it is? #visitamsterdam #staycation

Another shot of the biggest temple in Egypt! 🧡

Another shot of the biggest temple in Egypt! 🧡 I finished an extensive blog about the tombs and temples at Luxor this week and it will be online soon. Of course the famous Karnak temple is included as a must-visit! #visitegypt #karnaktemple #tombraider

Already home for two days now, but I still have lots of Egypt shots to share with you! 🐫 Visiting the famous monuments of Egypt was already a big wish since I was a small kid. It was amazing to finally see the pyramids, the tombs and the temples in real! But Egypt isn't just about the ancient times, it also is a modern country now. And I actually didn't like much of that. The cities are chaotic and dirty and not scenic at all. Walking anywhere as two girls was an uncomfortable experience with men yelling at us for money, photos or attention. We didn't feel unsafe at all, but this constant attention was a bit exhausting. Have you visited Egypt? How did you experience this? #visitegypt #gizapyramids #girlsinegypt #femaletraveller

My favourite place in Egypt: this island in the Nile at Aswan. We had dinner with this view every night of our stay in southern Egypt. 🏝 Have you ever been to Egypt? What was your favourite place? #elephantineisland #aswanegypt #travelegypt

After visiting so many Egyptian temples the last two weeks, I must say the Habu Temple is my favourite. It is less visites, close to Luxor and amazingly well preserved. #habutemple #egyptiantemple #visitegypt #luxoregypt

Top tip for Egypt: stay at Elephantine Island when visiting Aswan. 🧡 This place is such a peaceful oasis with friendly people, beautiful Nile views, ancient monuments and colourfull Nubian villages. And there's no traffic! We really needed this to recharge after the last week in chaotic and exhausting Cairo and Luxor. We are so excited to explore more of this area the next three days! #elephantineisland #aswan #travelegypt

Home is wherever I'm with you, do you know the son

Home is wherever I'm with you, do you know the song? 🎶 I (Maartje) actually never feel homesick when travelling. I usually have the most important thing of home with me, as long as I'm with Sebastiaan. This time is different with Sebastiaan still at home, so it's a good thing I have so many pictures of us of our last Central America trip on my phone. This was at the amazing @kaanabelize resort in San Ignacio, Belize. One of the most beautiful places we ever slept! #homeiswhereiamwithyou #travelbuddy #cheesypost
