For the past month, Paul and I have been getting back into a healthier routine. We try to exercise at least five times a week, get enough sleep and eat a little better. Not that we weren't eating healthy, but we also both love cheese, pizza, chocolate and beer, and that got a little out … Continue reading Easy energy bars (recipe included)

Dutch pepernoten (recipe included)
Lately I've been craving pepernoten and other Dutch treats, like licorice. It probably has everything to do with the arrival of my mother next week, and my best friend in January.

Pepernoten are actually very similar to ginger cookies (according to … Continue reading Dutch pepernoten (recipe included)

Summer in Vlora
We are so lucky with the life we lead. This year, we spent the full Summer in Vlora, Albania. I didn’t really know what to expect of this country, because it was never on my radar before this year.

Just keep swimming
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

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
