Four years ago my boyfriend and I decided we wanted to go interrailing through Europe. In 2019, we bought tickets to go interrailing in 2020. That didn’t happened because of COVID-19. However, this past month, September 2023, we finally managed to go! From august 31st till september 21st we traveled through Europe by train. In…
Sustainable and fun hotspots in Ghent, Belgium
Almost a month ago I went on a holiday to Ghent, in Belgium. I stayed in Ghent for 8 days, together with two friends. Ghent can be a sustainable holiday, as long as you can travel there by train or car (or bike!). Additionally, there are two other things very important for having a sustainable…
Crowd-funding for a better financial sector
For years now, I’ve been writing for personal changes people can make in their daily life to make their life more sustainable. However, since about a year, I’ve started to expand that view. From that point on, I also started thinking about what I wanted society as a whole to look like. I started the…
Cancel culture doesn’t exist
One thing that politically left people are often accused of is cancel culture. They say that when someone makes a (small) mistake, politically left people are immediately angry and then we cancel that person. This person is then a victim and their life is over. But that is simply not true. I’d say cancel culture…
Why I don’t use paper towels in public bathrooms
When people use the bathroom at their own house, they use a cotton towel to dry their hands after washing them. Once the towel is dirty, they wash it and reuse it. Zero waste.

Victim Blaming
Not everybody around the world knows why we still need intersectional feminism. But discrimination against women is unfortunately very present in modern day.

I struggle with not being productive
Something I have been trying to work on the last few months is not being productive. I have a really hard time with doing nothing. Right now, my goal is to have one day a month where I have no plans or to-do’s, and therefore do nothing productive. The past few months I did haven’t…
Documentary: Kiss The Ground
At this moment, we have a huge agricultural crisis in The Netherlands. It’s one of the things that made our government fall this past week. This crisis inspires me to share a documentary that I’ve seen a while ago, one that tackles the global agricultural crisis we’re in. Today I’ll tell you more about the…
You cannot call yourself an animal lover when you’re not vegan
I am not going to make myself very popular with this post. But that’s okay, most vegans are unpopular. Because we make non-vegans feel uncomfortable. I’ve had conversations where this happened. Why? Because I argue that you cannot call yourself an animal lover when you’re not vegan. Most non-vegans can call themselves a pet lover….
