HOME ALONE 4 INCOMING 😅 My trip to NYC ends in a bad (Christmas) movie when the hotel gives my carry-on luggage with passport to an old lady who doesn't realize this and checks the luggage on a flight to the UK!
Now I'm stuck here in NY without a passport, and I missed my flight.
I've experienced a lot in all the years I've been traveling for Your Little Black Book, but this is a first 😅.
This chat video is purely therapeutic in nature 🤣🤣🤣. Because really: HOW?! 🫢
Note to self: it's better to carry your passport all day, instead of leaving it "safely" in the hotel, apparently... and from now on, attach suitcases with cables in the storage room. Even if you're staying in a luxurious and expensive hotel, everything is still done by humans.
Now I'm stuck in one of the world's coolest cities, but of course I just want to be home with Manuel, as planned. 😔
To be continued 🧳✈️
And thanks for all the sweet DMs ❤️❤️❤️❤️

How cool is this? There are places in the Netherlands where you can cut down your own Christmas tree! You don't hear about it very often, even though it's quite common in America (where I'm currently!).
Good to know: some of these places in the Netherlands are only open for a few days a year and you have to reserve a time slot.

This time we went to @williams.farmhouse, one of my favorite lunch spots in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid. But is it also fun during the day with kids?
We ordered a 'plain' version of the Farmhouse burger 🍔: yes, really just meat + cheese 🤣… and together with the fries it was a mega success.
Happy child, happy us... and it was such a cozy, rainy afternoon. I mean, this interior makes me dream of the Cotswolds again!

This hotel is a little further from the beach than the first one on this list, but a six-minute walk to the beach is certainly not bad if you ask me. FRIii Bali Echo Resort is located near the famous Echo Beach. This beach is wonderfully large and wide, so you're likely to find a good spot. Prefer a swim? No problem! The hotel has an outdoor pool. And last but not least, this hotel is very affordable. So, it's also a great choice if you're trying to keep a budget during your trip to Bali.

This boutique hotel in Canggu is truly stunning. Decorated with natural colors and abundant greenery, it instantly evokes a true Balinese feeling. Each room is decorated with local art, and some even have a private plunge pool. The rooms feature tall windows that let in plenty of light, a huge plus for me. Moreover, the views from every room are enchanting; some overlook the pool, while others overlook the garden.
