Netherlands

Welkom in nederland!
Welcome to the Netherlands!

Hand on heart, when you think of the Netherlands, doesn’t Amsterdam and marijuana automatically come to mind? But honestly this country has so much more to offer!
The open, friendly people, beautiful beaches, great cities with many canals and super fine food (who can resist a good Stroop waffle?), this country has really done it to us.

Mimi has already had various school and study projects in all parts of the country, but we are also often to be found in the Netherlands.

You can also see on the map on the right where we have been and how we got from A to B.

Have fun reading our articles about the national park in Haarlem, the greatest street market in Amsterdam and many more…

Gouda

Gouda

As some attentive readers have probably already noticed, we have been in the Netherlands for a few weeks now. This has mainly practical reasons. We are already excited and full of anticipation for the next leg of our journey. Since mid-July we are forced to travel...

Haarlem

Haarlem

When someone tells you that he is going to the Netherlands, the first thing you think of is Amsterdam. But the Netherlands has a lot of other great places to offer and Haarlem is at the top of this list for me personally. I have fallen in love with the city and the...

Rotterdam

Rotterdam

After the – for us – very long stay in Gouda we tackle the next big city of the Netherlands. Rotterdam, we come or much rather Rotterdam we come again. A while ago Mimi was already in Rotterdam, then the city could not convince her. The reasoning behind that was...

About us

We are Paddy and Mimi, a travel-hungry couple from tiny Switzerland in the middle of Europe. We call ourselves slow travelers, because we like to spend enough time in one place or country. Therefore we don’t only visit the typical sights but also get to know the culture of the respective country.

Our current location:

Puerto Iguazú, Argentina

Ushuaia

Ushuaia

We arrive in Ushuaia on the only major north-south connecting road. One more bend, and then the entrance gate with the exotic-sounding sequence of letters “Ushuaia” stands before us. We are excited to see the southernmost city in Argentina. At the same time, however,...

Tierra del Fuego

Tierra del Fuego

From the southernmost mainland of South America, we can drive a few kilometers further south with our campervan Ben. Not that far compared to the length of the entire continent of South America, but still a few hundred kilometers. From Punta Arenas, a ferry takes us...

Pantanal

Next on our South America trip we visit a beautiful region with an extremely dense wildlife: The Pantanal in Brazil. The name sounds spectacular and exotic to us but translated from Portuguese it just means swamp or swamp region, derived from pântano. It is the...
