Weekend inspiration for August 28, 29 & 30
Weekend is here again! And there’s really soo much to do this last weekend of August! I’ll have to miss all the fun stuff because I’m in Tel Aviv right now with editor Ellis. It’s definitely no punishment though: it’s totally awesome here and we found so many hotspots to can write about! But that also means that I can’t go to the Uitmarkt and have to skip the The Locally Yours Pop-up Market. And did you check our Nine Streets Guide yet with the 30 best hotspots? >> HAVE FUN!
