We’re a Dutch married couple with one son, and we simply love travel. We typically take 2-3 trips per year. We’ve been doing this for the last 25 years or so. These trips have taken us to South-East Asia, Latin America and deeper into North America. Late 2022 we embarked on an 18-month vacation as Peter retired and Hester is taking a sabbatical.

How We Travel

We plan our trips around our interests, preferences, timeline and budget. We may include organized travel if it makes sense, but in most cases, we plan and book the entire trip ourselves. We’re also not afraid to tweak our itinerary while on the road. Being flexible ensures a personalized, tailor-made experience which is so worth the effort! We stay in basic but comfortable hotels, with our own bathroom and air-conditioning (warm climates). Most days, we get up around 8AM and head out after breakfast for sightseeing or travel to our next destination. We try to be back at our hotel towards the middle of the afternoon to relax, sit by the pool or perhaps watch a Netflix movie. We’re not afraid to try local (fully cooked) foods while looking for great tasting meals at reasonable prices. We therefore often bump into Locals. Our goal is to stay healthy and to fully enjoy our adventure!
