‘Uit Je Eigen Stad’ (translation: from your own city) is an initiative that has made locals aware of local and fresh food since 2012. This restaurant has a town farm where you can have lunch and dinner, and another location at Rotterdam Central Station. Although the complete menu isn’t solely vegetarian, you have more than enough options as a vegetarian. …
The area surrounding the Anne Frank house is kind of a place for minorities. Near the museum stands a statue in honor of the brave girl, and a little further you’ll find the gay monument. With the ticket I bought online, I went to the modern looking Anne Frank Museum at 11 A.M. After only five minutes I could enter …
During my short city trip to Amsterdam I booked a Red Light District tour, a tour of the ‘Walletjes’. During this interesting guided tour we learned a lot more about the prostitutes working in the Red Light District. Of course assisted by a lot of funny anecdotes and stories. We were asked to meet at a central square, about five …
Bar James opened their doors in 2016 and is a very hip and very popular vegetarian restaurant in Amsterdam. They serve delicious meals from morning until late, but you can also just buy a refreshing drink and continue to enjoy the vibe here until the early hours. Be sure to try the vegan burger or go for a cozy fondue. …
Around nine o’clock in the evening Stephanie arrived. Tonight we would go partying in Amsterdam! Today I ate a delicious jacket potatoe with a chicken salad, lots of cheese, bacon and garlic.

There was not a whole lot to see, so perhaps I thought of going to see some of King Kong’s friends at the Rotterdam zoo. The Blijdorp zoo was only twenty minutes away by tram and… …
The NS train takes you from The Hague to Rotterdam in less than thirty minutes! Instead of always buying a single ticket, I now bought a “chip card”. If I kept buying paper tickets I had to pay one extra euro for every single ticket … and after a while that really starts adding up! This plastic card is also making …
After arriving in my hostel, again a stayokay, I could check in right away. Pfew! Because I don’t like to leave my luggage in a common area. Stayokay hostels are a bit too commercial for me, unfortunately. For everything you need to pay extra… Even to store your valuables in a safe. In other hostels this is almost always included. Most of the times there …
An hour later we arrived in Leiden. This time in broad daylight! I hadn’t yet seen a lot of the college town, because the real center was still a good ten minute walk. Before I could see some of the historic buildings, Stephanie pulled me inside the Pull & Bear store. IT’S TIME FOR SOME SHOPPING! With twenty-two bags we walked out! Just …
