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 […]
Cuba: where to stay?

Of je nou op zoek bent naar casual dining, een goed kop koffie, een 5 sterren restaurant of een hippe cocktailbar. […]
Fraser Island: living the Aussie life
Aboriginals geven Fraser de passende naam K’Gari, wat paradise betekent. Dit paradijsje, net voor de oostkust van Australië, is het grootste zandeiland ter wereld. Bovendien is het de enige bekende plek waar het regenwoud op zand groeit. De vele meren, de mega hoge zandheuvels, het wilderige regenwoud en die woeste zee maken van het eiland meer […]
