MOOD 👀, I woke up really early today and was scrolling through my photos of Bangkok 🌴. Then I thought: how nice if we share our booked and wishlist destinations for inspiration? I have a safari in Malawi & Zimbabwe 🐆 in the books with a stopover in Nairobi. I'm also going to Paris for a few nights by train with Manuel. So excited! I'm going to visit all the Parisian clichés and more with him ✌🏼. Also on the wishlist: China (May holiday), a midweek trip to Athens & the coast (summer), London (always a good idea), Amalfi & Rome (Manuel's dream for the autumn holiday) & Japan (Christmas holiday including skiing, tips welcome ☺️). My resolution for 2026 is also to plan more fun day trips/nights away in the Netherlands. And I would love to go to Japan solo, but oh well... first I have to get back to work 😅😉. Speaking of which: Happy new week!! I'd love to dream about your travel plans. 😘 🖊️ @anne_de_buck
NEW YEAR'S DAY IN THE NETHERLANDS 🖤 March = the month in which my favorite Sunday markets start up again in full swing. So my Sunday plans are quickly made: stroll along stalls, discover new food trucks and go home with a bag full of organic produce or a great vintage find. What I like about it? Every market has its own vibe. • @feelgoodmarket for creativity and live music in Eindhoven • Vintage heaven at @ijhallen • @sundaymarket with creative makers and food trucks • Curated vintage & design gems at @cabinetamsterdam • @fairpricedvintage for scoring vintage clothing at many locations in NL Have fun! ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck Follow @yourlbb for the best markets, restaurants, travel guides and more tips to make the most of your free time. #zondagmarkt #markteninnederland #vintagemarket #weekendtips #yourlittleblackbook
If you only go to one terrace in Amsterdam this weekend, make it @caferestaurant.meyer! What a great addition to the Amstelveld 😍. Open from 10am, a very nice lunch menu, a wine list with a bottle of rosé for €20, but also olive ice cream with caviar (incredibly delicious!). I'll be back soon to try the evening menu too. Tip: you can make a reservation on the terrace! And did I mention there's a playground next door? Have a great weekend 😘 🖊️ @anne_de_buck PS: follow @yourlbb & @yourlbb.amsterdam for more Amsterdam tips and travel guides for destinations around the world. ___________________________________________ Best terrace in Amsterdam, best new terrace in Amsterdam, lunch in amsterdam, family friendly amsterdam
My fav spot for freddo cappuccino in Amsterdam that transports me back to Greece. Add a slice of spanakopita and you have the best breakfast to enjoy along the Amstel river. My motto for the coming spring is to take more walks, so expect a lot of recs for coffee and other drinks to go in this new series! ☀️ Where should I go next? ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck
**Due to COVID-19, souvenirs are now available in bulk ❄️ Note to self: always keep room in your suitcase for 'souvenirs'. During my ski trip to Méribel, I popped into the local pharmacy just before leaving, and these are the beauty products I took home. I've tested them extensively and they're all more than YLBB-approved. Save them for your next trip to France (or your online beauty store). Which souvenirs always make it back in your suitcase? I'm curious! ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck PS: Follow @yourlbb for tons of tips to make the most of your free time — from travel tips to travel guides and more.
