Opening my little jewellery box I find you there, ticking away time second by second and minute by minute. One year has gone by and you haven’t stopped. While I was moving through a faraway world without you, you silently kept track of all that was and could be. My grandmothers watch. A reminder of…
As a child we expect so much from the world. Every moment is awaited full of excitement and untamed joy, but then we grow up. The twinkle in those young eyes fades away and is replaced by a hidden smile. Much to often dreams are replaced by routine. Curiosity answered by how things should be….
Another place in this world, another continent. The perks of being back in a westernised country are many. Dry public toilets that have toilet paper, the food in the supermarket looks familiar, beaches are clean and roads are in good condition. Yet at the same time, many things are to be missed.

It feels like paradise I realize while standing in my 1 by 1 bathroom, taking a shower amidst moulded…
It felt as if Borneo secretly knew we had some trouble in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, selling our bikes. We were received with open arms, a lot of heat and amazing people everywhere. Hello Kuching! We like you. On our first walk through the city we met a lot of people, fellow travellers, who have…
We sold the bikes! It was a painful goodbye. It highlighted how big money brings out the worst in many people. Lying, ignoring, being rude and even stealing seems to be part of the deal. Well, humanity, you disappoint me! No, that is not completely true. When I shared my story on our Instagram the…
