Today is Paul’s birthday, and I couldn’t think of a better post to write than this one! I do not drink a lot of alcohol, because I don’t like how it makes me feel, but every now and then I do enjoy drinking a special beer. My first introduction to craft beer was in 2014. … Continue reading It’s my round!

Writer’s block
The last couple of months have been very chaotic on different fronts. This doesn’t really help with writing. Sometimes I sit down, ready to write, but end up staring at my screen and nothing comes out. It’s not that I do not want to write anything, but I just can’t think of it. Stress or … Continue reading Writer’s block
Things happen for a reason
You probably know those days, weeks or even months where everything seems to go wrong. Well, we are experiencing those months right now and let me tell you, I have learned a lot!

The value of friendship
A short post today, because friendship for me is very simple. What I’ve learned about friendship is that not all of them will last and that’s okay.

I expected Paul to struggle a bit more (he really loves bacon and fish), but he is also doing very well. I … Continue reading My journey on becoming a vegetarian – Part 2

A negative mindset is often a build up of things. Maybe a bad situation you are in, things that bother you but that are not talked about, or things you are annoyed by. How can you keep a positive attitude towards things when sometimes it feels as if there is nothing to be positive about? … Continue reading A positive mindset
A beautiful smile
A smile can say a thousand words! I always loved to smile, but I noticed that the last couple of years I started to ‘pose’ my smiles. On almost every picture I took in the last 2 - 3 years, I have the same posed smile. As almost every person, I have my insecurities, but … Continue reading A beautiful smile
Malaysia: Food heaven!
The first time that I went to Malaysia was in 2009 and I fell in love with the country! I loved the people, nature, and the food, although back then I wasn’t very adventurous when it came to trying different foods. Luckily that changed as I got older, because if there’s one place in the … Continue reading Malaysia: Food heaven!
More cupcakes please!
It’s funny how taste can change. As an adult I never really cared for cakes and sweets. I always preferred savory snacks (still do), but there is something about cupcakes that makes me feel happy inside. My obsession with cupcakes started a couple of years ago. When we just started traveling, we lived in Malaysia … Continue reading More cupcakes please!
