Een zomeravond in León, Nicaragua

jul 03, 2013 by Daphne Geen reacties

Vandaag weer een bijzondere gastbijdrage. Deze keer neemt Tom Landheer je mee naar Centraal Amerika, León Nicaragua om precies te zijn, waar hij stage loopt om uiteindelijk als Tour Manager te kunnen afstuderen. Lees mee voor zijn avontuur! Als je iets langer dan 6 weken in dezelfde plaats verblijft, dan kom je er langzamerhand wel achter wat de leukste plekken, lekkerste eettenten en de normaalste gewoontes zijn. Zo ook hier in León, Nicaragua. Ik ben er nu iets meer dan 6 weken en ben onderhand redelijk goed bekend met het doen en laten in de stad. Zo ben ik...

Ozzie favorites: mijn favo spots in Australië

mei 05, 2013 by Daphne Geen reacties

In 2011 heb ik tijdens en na mijn stage in Australië de kans gehad om dit super eiland te ontdekken. Natuurlijk is dit land veel en veel te groot om alles in 1x te zien, daarom heb ik een paar personal fave’s op een rijtje gezet. **English** In 2011 I had the chance to travel around Australia and explore this giant island. Of course this country is too big to see it all at once, so I shortlisted a few personal favourites. ———————————————————————————————————————– Groene Hotspots in Adelaide: De Botanic Gardens van Adelaide zijn prachtig! Midden in de stad ligt deze...

Discovering the Australian Outback: The road ahead

apr 19, 2013 by Daphne Geen reacties

It is one of those ‘once in a lifetime’ experiences that I was lucky enough to have! One of those experiences that I will never forget: I visited the Outback! The road ahead was long, 1530 kilometres long that is. The trip was on, gear was packed, bus spick and span and the tour guide, my colleague Trevor ready to rumble. We were on our way from Adelaide to Alice Springs, to discover the Australian Outback! I imagine most of you have heard of the Outback and the incredible Red Desert of Australia, but only a few can actually relate...

Travel trends & inspiration: Islands!

apr 09, 2013 by Daphne 1 reactie

Island hopping is the travel trend of 2013. Especially when you’re the kind of traveler who can’t sit still, loves that ocean breeze, that has a adventure gen and is interested in other cultures. For Europeans, the place to be this year, is Greece. After all the economic troubles, tourists stayed away for a while but are now slowly finding their way back. Vakantie.nl a Dutch travel trend website claims that Greece is now THE place to be, and perfect for island hopping since the country has over 6.000 (!) islands. Each island has its own pluspoints so I’ve made...

As you can see, the natural light was diverse; torn between dark clouds and bright rays of sun. This created a natural sort of mysterious look over the photo.

Tourist in your own country – Holland case study on Photography

jun 10, 2012 by Daphne 2 reacties

Untill I took part in my exchange student experience, for which I spent 10 months living with a host family in rural Oregon, United States and went to high school there, I really looked down upon my own country when it came to landscpes, nature, cities and other things to see. I always thought that Holland (or the Netherlands more properly) was a way too small country to live in and be able to see a lot of beautiful things. It was for that reason that I always had the urge to go abroad. I didn’t really matter where, as...

Back to Basics in New Zealand

mei 09, 2012 by Daphne 1 reactie

New Zealand is a country that is somewhat of a fairytale for a lot of people. Depending on where you’re from of course, but often it’s the ‘end of the world’ and getting there takes a good deal of patience on an airplane. But once you’re there …. well you never want to go back! Before I got to New Zealand (NZL), I didn’t really know what to expect. Of course, I’d bought a guidebook (Insight Guides really is the best 1 out there!) and read a bit into it but other than that, it was all a bit of...

Treasures of the Netherlands

apr 23, 2012 by Daphne Geen reacties

Many of you will probably have a particular image of the Netherlands, or more common, Holland, in mind involving windmills, tullips, cheese and some of you even think of the wooden shoes. Well, you were right! As a Dutchie I can confirm that most of those cliché images you might have in mind are true. We are a country covered in beautiful colorful tullips with an occassional windmill here and there but far from all of us eat cheese of let alone wear wooden shoes. I am one of those people that detests cheese (unless it’s in a melted-pizza-like form)...
