COVID-19 update (we found a home on Bali to stay safe)
Self-isolate. That’s the new way of life these days. In our last COVID-19 update we told you how we fled from India. Our next move was finding a safe place in case of an outbreak, which according to some is just a matter of time. We are happy to say that we found a home… -

Railing away from Mumbai to South India
A bustling cosmopolitan with food to die for. Pristine beaches and calm and tranquil backwaters. The city of Mumbai and the Southern Indian states surprised us in so many ways. This should be your next holiday destination.

Kazakhstan greatest country in the world
Our first impression from Kazakhstan wasn’t the greatest. The Almaty Region completely made up for that. Together with Sabina’s parents we enjoyed all of Almaty’s luxuries and discovered the regions unique canyons and lakes.

When you’re lucky, sometimes a boiled egg. Not quite a solid base for a +7…

Iran part II – To Esfahan in a Peugeot Pars
After sightseeing in Tehran we hit the road. First on our route is Esfahan. We decided to rent our own car, to drive all the way to the South of Iran. We’ve read that the roads are fine, plus it spares us a lot of time in the short two weeks that we have. No…

Iran part I – Amsterdam to Tehran
In December 2018 we traveled to Iran. This is how we got there. It is almost hard to believe that we actually have just woken up in Amsterdam. Due to bad weather and extreme thick fog, half of the flights to Schiphol were cancelled. And that’s exactly where we are flying from today, to Teheran…
