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…
FairBnB: the fair alternative to AirBnB
The holiday season is coming up and that means that some of us are going to visit places outside of our home city, or maybe even outside of our country. I am one of many people who uses AirBnB for these trips. AirBnB seems to be a great alternative to a hotel, hostel or bed…
Amsterdam to London by train
Exactly one week ago I arrived back home from a city trip to London. I got that city trip from my boyfriends as a gift fir my 24th birthday past September. I love to travel, but it is a must for me to do so sustainably. In this climate crisis we can’t afford to fly…
Amsterdam to Budapest by Train
If I remember correctly, I took my last flight in 2018. After that last flight, I decided to stop flying to holiday destinations, as we’re in the middle of a climate crisis. However, that does not mean I won’t go on holidays at all anymore. The contradictory is true! And so, this past summer I…
Sustainable hotspots in Amsterdam
I moved to Amsterdam in September 2021 and have been living here for about 6 months now. I love Amsterdam and everything it has to offer. If the area was not so polluted due to Schiphol and Tata Steel I would even consider living here all my life. Amsterdam is modern, that’s why it has…
The most fun and sustainable hotspots on Texel
The holiday season has started in The Netherlands and since the amount of COVID-19 cases was heavily falling my family and I went on a holiday. We did stay within our own country, we went to Texel, one of the Dutch islands. That feels safe because of COVID-19 but going on a holiday nearby can…
Why I don’t own a car
I’ve made a distinction a while back: some sustainable habits are easier than others. For example, I wrote a post about how it’s way easier to go vegan than to stop traveling. But even though I said it that it’s not easy to give up traveling, I still try to do it less and travel…
My packing list for Ameland 2020
I think it’s not uncommon this year, I went on a holiday in my own country. Ameland to be specific, a Dutch Island (there are about 6 nearby). A lot of Dutch people will do the same due to the coronavirus, which is one of the few good things about this pandemic, less flights. I…
Going vegan vs. stop traveling
Today I want to make a statement. Something that really goes for me and my journey towards a sustainable lifestyle. In general, I’d say living an eco-positive lifestyle is not hard (maybe I can’t say that just yet, since I am not there yet, but I am doing it anyway). However, there are some aspects…
