Since I was young, I have had a love-hate relationship with water. On one hand I loved playing in the pool, pretending I was a mermaid, on the other hand I got fearful as soon as the water got deeper. There is something about that sensation of not being able to touch the ground, and … Continue reading Just keep swimming

A few snapshots of Vlora – Albania
At the moment, I’m not really active with my photography, because it’s just too hot! The average temperature in Albania is around 35 Celsius. But that doesn’t mean that I never take photos anymore. Currently we live in an apartment with a big roof terrace. Every evening we see the most beautiful sunsets! These days … Continue reading A few snapshots of Vlora – Albania
Soft Tortilla Wraps (including recipe)
My cooking is slowly improving, and it makes it easier to try and make new things. As vegetarians, options can be a bit limited when you want to save a bit of money. Because let’s face it, we live in a world where unhealthy food is often cheaper than healthy food. The same goes for … Continue reading Soft Tortilla Wraps (including recipe)

My journey on becoming vegetarian – Part 5
Five months in, and I’m going to be completely honest with you. We ate meat! Not a lot, only one time, but I feel guilty. Why do I feel like that? It was my own choice to do this. I don’t owe anybody any explanation, but somehow it felt wrong to eat meat again. Let … Continue reading My journey on becoming vegetarian – Part 5
Meals with something extra
Today I’m going to share some of my experiences with food in other countries. Not any food. No! Food with something extra! Mmmmmmm…. The story begins in Greece. It was 2001. We (my first boyfriend and I) went to Crete. I still remember the name of the town, because it was so weird: Koutouloufari. It … Continue reading Meals with something extra
Spicy chickpea balls (including recipe)
After eating lentil burgers and homemade seitan for the last couple of months, it was time to try something else as a meat substitute. For months I’ve seen this recipe on Instagram, but never tried it. Until today and it was yummy! I can’t take credit for this recipe, but I did alter it a … Continue reading Spicy chickpea balls (including recipe)
Sleepless nights
Do you know those days or sometimes even weeks when it’s so hard to fall asleep? Or when you wake up in the middle of the night and you can’t fall back to sleep anymore? Paul and I always alternate. When I’m restless and can’t sleep, he comfortably snores his head off next to me, … Continue reading Sleepless nights
Croatia – Cavtat en Dubrovnik
If I‘m being completely honest, Croatia never really appealed to me. I don't really know why. Maybe it was the unknown. When I was younger I wasn't as adventurous as I am now. I wish I discovered it sooner, but then again, maybe this was the right time to appreciate everything the country has to … Continue reading Croatia – Cavtat en Dubrovnik
Buzzing
Bzzzzzzzzzzzz… Almost everyone will recognize this sound, and will probably associate it with sleepless nights. Yes, I’m talking about mosquitos! Those horrible, annoying, little creatures that always have it out for you. So many sleepless nights of trying to sleep when you have them buzzing around your ear, or trying to catch them, but they … Continue reading Buzzing
