This is the coolest new hotel for a night away! Meet @viaantwerp, Antwerp's newest boutique hotel on the border of Zurenborg and Borgerhout (yep, voted the 2nd coolest neighborhood in the world by Time Out).
I recently stayed at this gem, and it truly has it all: a lively bar with a cozy atmosphere, walls adorned with creative art, beautiful, bright rooms, and it's within walking distance of great hotspots. And I haven't even mentioned @mea.antwerp! The delightful restaurant, helmed by a chef who previously worked at The Palomar in London. If you know, you know!
And now the best news:
I can surprise one of you with a dream night away at VIA Antwerp. 💛
And in my opinion
• Overnight stay for 2 people
• Breakfast included
• Chef's Dinner at MEA
And in Flanders
• Let us know in the comments which friend you would like to stay here with
• Of course, take a look at @viaantwerp & @mea.antwerp to dream away and follow their updates
The winner will be notified personally via DM on December 10th.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and will soon share a mini guide with more great tips for Antwerp! 🖤

I've rounded up a complete list with the coziest and most festive Christmas markets in Amsterdam you don't want to miss this year. Think twinkling lights, mulled wine, food stalls, live music, unique gifts and lots of Christmas vibes all December long.
Whether you're planning a festive day with the fam or friends, or just want to soak up that holiday spirit. These are the markets in Amsterdam to put on your calendar now. 🎄✨

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.

Have fun!

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!

Rome
The Mexican film Roma is quite an experience. Roma is a work of art, its uninterrupted shots and beautiful black-and-white images drawing you into the story. Besides being a technical masterpiece, the film is also incredibly moving. The intimate story of a pregnant nanny forms the foundation of this heartbreaking drama that will leave a lasting impression.

A story within a story within a story. The film, based on the book by Roald Dahl, is about the author reading the plot aloud.

// IMDb 6.8/10 // Action, Crime //
The Killer
David Fincher is an expert in action films, and with The Killer, he delivers another masterpiece. In this technical masterpiece, a hitman does everything he can to protect his girlfriend. The visual effects are brilliant, and the minimalist approach pays off. It took David Fincher years to adapt The Killer for the screen, but it was more than worth the wait.
// IMDb 6.8/10 // Adventure, Crime //
Faraway
In the German film Faraway, Zeynep travels to Croatia. Her mother has left her a vacation home, but she doesn't know she has to share it with Josip.

// IMDb 6.6/10 // Action Thriller //
The Gray Man
The Sierra Six is a CIA project. When one of its agents discovers a secret, he becomes its target. The Gray Man is full of unpredictable and impressive action sequences. Lead actors Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans deliver flawless performances, delivering sharp one-liners and dry humor. The combination of action and comedic undertones makes The Gray Man a must-see.
// IMDb 6.6/10 // Action Thriller //
Reptile
Experienced detective Tom Nichols searches for Summer's killer. In this thriller, it seems as if the director is constantly challenging the viewer. With numerous red herrings, you can't trust a single image or event. Solving the puzzle is incredibly difficult, and that's what makes the film so compelling. I recently watched it myself, and despite its lower IMDB rating, it's definitely a must-see on this list of the best movies on Netflix.
// IMDb 6.8/10 // Drama, Mystery //
Love at First Sight
An American girl and a British boy meet on a plane, but then lose touch. It seems like a romantic comedy like many others. However, this charming film gives the characters more depth. Moreover, both leads are incredibly likable, making you fervently hope for their happiness together.
// IMDb 6.8/10 // Romance, Drama //
The Adam Project
Time-traveling pilot Adam accidentally ends up in 2022 and immediately encounters his younger self. The story is secondary to the film; it's the witty dialogue between the old and young Adam that commands all the attention. Ryan Reynolds' signature sarcasm and sharp commentary are delightful, and this time he even reveals his emotional side.
// IMDb 6.7/10 // Action, Adventure //
More Best Movies on Netflix
They cloned Tyrone
The story of They Cloned Tyrone begins with a drug dealer who is shot dead and revived the next day. Three men then discover a sinister experiment involving human cloning. They Cloned Tyrone is a mysterious film with plenty of futuristic touches. The film stands out for its (bizarre) humor, thanks in particular to the infectious Jamie Foxx.
// IMDb 6.6/10 // Comedy, Mystery //
Hunger
Aoyin is a talented chef who is discovered by Paul, owner of Thailand's best restaurant. However, Paul is a ruthless boss with incredibly strict rules. The Thai film's storyline seems clichéd, but the unique way it portrays Aoyin's humility is moving. Hunger is a gripping film with a beautiful message. // IMDb 6.6/10 // Drama, Thriller //
AKA
This French action film gets straight to the point: gunplay, blood, and violence. AKA tells the story of a hitman who infiltrates a criminal's home to prevent an attack. The film boasts numerous technical feats and thrilling action sequences. What makes it unique, however, is the emotional bond the protagonist develops with a child. A pleasant surprise in this exciting and dynamic crime film.
// IMDb 6.6/10 // Action, Crime //
Pain Hustler
