Travelling is what I love to do. In 2015 I made a solo trip through Asia and North America for six months. In 2016 I got on a plane with my boyfriend Daan to travel indefinitely. We worked in Australia, made road trips through New Zealand, lived as digital nomads in Southeast Asia and enjoyed our freedom and life to the fullest.
Now we live in the Netherlands again, but travelling remains our passion. With The Wandering Mind I hope to inspire you as well to follow your travel dreams.
What is it like to learn to ski as an adult? I experienced this earlier this year when I went to the Alpe d’Huez ski resort in France for a few days. I had never been on winter sports before. Only in New Zealand I once stood on a snowy slope near Mount Ruapehu, while
At the moment you see Koh Phee you might think you just ended up in some adventurous pirate movie. The small island, made out of one giant rock, has the most interesting shape you can imagine. A short distance away from the island of Koh Lanta, this tiny piece of land has the shape… of
Bangkok is one of those places where a lot of backpackers start their backpack journey around Southeast Asia. So did I. The first time that I arrived in this massive city, I was literally in shock. The Thai capital brings an impressive mix of bright colors and unrecognizable smells, and the busy traffic and chaotic
Singapore really is a cultural divers and pretty modern city to visit while traveling around in Southeast Asia. But when it comes to your travel budget… Singapore will break your budget for sure. It is way more realistic to compare the prices in Singapore with Western countries than any of the other countries around Southeast

It actually happens more and more often that readers of The Wandering Mind ask us how it was to work and travel as a digital nomad in New Zealand. I noticed that a lot of you are curious how we managed this lifestyle and maybe even more important: if we liked it. And also if

A South Island road trip in New Zealand is what I call an adventure. From mountain peaks with snow on top of them, surrounded by crystal clear mountain lakes to forest and glaciers. As a lover of nature and the great outdoors, the South Island simply got it all. And even more than that. That’s
So many people only know Christchurch in New Zealand because of the devastating earthquake that hit the city back in 2011. Knowing this fact and after speaking with people who described Christchurch as being rather boring, we drove on a November day with zero expectations towards the city.

The Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai is what you say an extraordinary and interesting place to visit. It is a place where injured and mistreated elephants in Thailand can spend the rest of their lives in peace and quiet. Nowadays, Thailand is developing more and more, but unfortunately not always when it comes to
