Exploring Holland! 🌈 After spending a lot of time at home fixing up our tiny house, we spontaneously decided to head out for a walk last Wednesday eve. We drove to this famous windmill spot close to our hometown. Which Dutchie can guess from the photo where it is? #netherlands #dutchlandscape #windmill

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

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
