MOOD 👀, I woke up really early today and was just scrolling through my photos of Bangkok 🌴.
Then I thought: how nice would it be if we shared our booked and wishlist destinations for inspiration?
Here's 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), midweek Athens & coast (summer), London (always a good idea), Amalfi & Rome (Manuel's dream for the autumn holiday) & Japan (Christmas holiday including skiing, tips welcome☺️).
My intention for 2026 is also to plan more fun days/nights away in the Netherlands.
And I would love to go to Japan solo, but well... first I have to get back to work 😅😉.
Speaking off: happy new week!!
I'd love to daydream about your travel plans.

I have a nice garden and a nice summer day 🖤
March = the month in which my favourite 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 products or a good vintage find.
What I love 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 the Netherlands
Have fun!

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 as well.
Tip: you can make a reservation on the terrace!
And did I mention there's a playground next door?
Have a nice weekend 😘

YES dears; I'm back from vacation and fully ready for Dutch spring, long lunches and spontaneous dates with my favorite city Amsterdam.

Note to self: always leave 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.
They've been tested extensively and are 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!

Looking for a stylish winter sports destination in France? Méribel is one of those places where everything is perfect: beautiful ski-in/ski-out hotels, excellent restaurants on and off the slopes, wonderful spas, and, if you're feeling energetic, après-ski.
I was there for a weekend without my little FAM, but I knew straight away: this is also perfect for the whole family thanks to the many green and blue slopes, so we will definitely go back!

While I'm currently hopping from hotel to hotel and neighborhood to neighborhood in Bangkok (all in the name of “research” and new food hotspots for the new LITTLE BLACK BOOK 😉). Back home, Amsterdam is serving peak weekend vibes.
Think: Dim Sum Sunday in Noord, vibrant Chinese New Year celebrations across the city and a Vietnamese Tết feast at @yen.diningbar. Add market gems like the @le.temps.perdu.brocante pop-up in Oud-West and @themakermarket at De Hallen, and your weekend basically plans itself.
And yes, make time for ARTIS: there are now two elephant calves and they're too cute. 🐘🐘 Instant serotonin incoming, I promise!

Best time to travel in March: 34 destinations with warm weather
In this comprehensive guide, we've figured out the best time to travel in March and listed warm-weather destinations by continent, from Asia to the Middle East! Have you already decided where your winter sun trip will take you in March?
Best time to travel in March: Asia
Thailand
The rainy season in Thailand runs from May to October. This is therefore the period you should definitely avoid. March is the ideal month to visit, as you'll miss the busy start of the year. Moreover, the temperature in March is ideal. In January and February, the nights are very cool, so you might even feel cold. In March, the evenings stay pleasantly warm, making it easy to experience Thailand's nightlife.
Thailand
The Philippines
The Philippines is a vast country with over 7000 islands. The climate in the Philippines is therefore incredibly diverse. One part of the country can experience heavy rainfall, while another is stiflingly hot. However, March is always a good time. During this month, the climate is incredibly pleasant throughout the country. The risk of typhoons or other tropical cyclones is also very low in March.
Cambodia
Cambodia is best known for the famous Angkor Wat. However, this isn't the country's only attraction. You can also enjoy wonderful snorkeling, visit various Buddhist sites, and hike through impressive natural areas. It can get very hot in Cambodia, but if you travel to this beautiful country in March, you'll avoid the unpleasant heat. Moreover, this month is one of the quietest of the dry season!
combo
Vietnam
Vietnam is also a very large country. In the beautiful north, where you'll find attractions like Halong Bay and Ninh Binh, it rains heavily between May and September. In the south, December is the wettest month. March is the ideal time to plan a trek through Vietnam. You'll avoid the busier periods, the temperatures are pleasant, and there's little rain. The chance of fog is also incredibly low in March, allowing you to enjoy impressive views of Vietnam's beautiful nature.
Vietnam
India
India is a dream destination for many. Its unique culture captures everyone's imagination, and the country has so much to offer. The climate of this beautiful region can be divided into three seasons. During our summer, it's monsoon season, meaning it rains heavily. In May and June, temperatures soar. Traveling in March avoids the hottest part of the year. Peak season also draws to a close this month, making it much quieter at the many tourist attractions.
India
Nepal
Nepal is synonymous with hikes through the Himalayas, magnificent temples, and the chaotic city of Kathmandu. March is clearly the best time to visit Nepal. First and foremost, because the nights in the higher elevations aren't too cold. In December and January, it can even freeze at night, making hikes very difficult. Furthermore, from April onwards, it gets very hot in the lower elevations. In March, temperatures don't rise too high, and there's a refreshing breeze, ideal for visiting cultural hotspots.
Nepal
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is breathtakingly beautiful. There's so much to experience, from elephant spotting in a nature park to visiting authentic villages and hiking through the stunning scenery. If you want to be sure it doesn't rain, March is an excellent choice. This month is also outside the peak season, making it quieter and tickets cheaper. Moreover, March is the ideal month for whale watching on the island's west coast!
Sri Lanka
Indonesia
Temple hopping, dreaming away in Bali, visiting an active volcano… Indonesia is a beautiful country where you're sure to have a dream vacation. However, March offers something special. The rainy season ends in February, allowing the lush greenery to truly shine. March is the ideal month, especially if you're visiting one of the many nature parks. Moreover, it's completely free of crowds, allowing you to enjoy this impressive country in complete peace.
Indonesia
Lithuania, Vilnius
Hong Kong resembles a giant amusement park. The bustling life, spectacular buildings, and friendly people make the city a major attraction. During your visit, you'll spend days strolling the streets, admiring the city's splendor. Therefore, it's recommended to visit Hong Kong during the winter months. Thanks to the warm maritime climate, temperatures are very pleasant until April, and there's virtually no rain.
Lithuania, Vilnius
Laos
Laos is the hidden gem of South Asia. While less popular than countries like Thailand or Vietnam, it's just as impressive. The tranquil nature, friendly locals, and beautiful cities are well worth a visit. Moreover, Laos is much less touristy than its neighboring countries, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in Asian culture. In March, the climate in Laos is perfect. Pleasant daytime temperatures, cool nights, and minimal rain—the ideal conditions for planning a trip to this beautiful country.
Laos
Maldives
The Maldives is paradise on earth. With its beautiful white beaches and turquoise sea, it's the ideal spot for snorkeling and diving. March sees little rainfall, and the sea is incredibly calm. These are the perfect conditions for admiring the magical underwater world in peace. Furthermore, temperatures don't rise too high in March, allowing you to visit the small fishing villages and get to know the locals better.
Maldives
Malaysia
Malaysia boasts a combination of beautiful rainforests and idyllic beaches. You should also visit the capital, Kuala Lumpur, and the famous Petronas Twin Towers. The rainy season runs from November to February, meaning nature is at its greenest in March. You can fully enjoy the natural areas, and this is also the perfect time to visit the many tea plantations. Moreover, the number of tourists is limited in March, allowing you to explore the country in peace.
Malaysia
Singapore
Singapore is the smallest country in Southeast Asia and actually consists of just one city. However, this ultra-modern city is definitely worth a visit. The architectural masterpieces, the beautiful skyline, and the mythical waterfront make a lasting impression. March offers the best climate for visiting Singapore. It's pleasantly warm during the day, while evenings cool down considerably. Moreover, this is a quiet period, and tickets are relatively cheap.
Singapore
Best time to travel in March: Central and South America
Costa Rica
Costa Rica is on every adventurer's bucket list. This beautiful green country boasts impressive natural beauty where you'll encounter an abundance of wildlife. The beaches are also worth a visit, especially for surfers. The dry season ends in March. During the summer days, a fresh breeze blows, keeping you from getting too hot. This is the ideal weather for trekking through the spectacular jungle for days!
Costa Rica
Mexico
Mexico: the land of pearly white beaches, pyramids, tacos, and tequila. This dream destination guarantees a fantastic trip, and you should definitely visit it at least once. Mexico does experience hurricanes regularly, but March is not hurricane season. Daytime temperatures are moderate, nights are very pleasant, and there's very little rain. March is the ideal month to fully immerse yourself in Mexican culture.
Mexico
Chili
The Atacama Desert and the volcanoes in northern Chile, the capital Santiago de Chile in the center, and Patagonia and Easter Island in the south. A tour of Chile will take you through spectacular landscapes and will never bore you. The climate varies enormously. However, March is always a good time. This is the month when the heaviest rainfall in the northern part has passed, and it's not yet too hot in the southern part. Moreover, the peak season ends in February, so March is very quiet.
Chili
Panama
Panama is sometimes overlooked by tourists. However, this modern country has a lot to offer, from rainforests to beaches, coffee plantations, and even a world wonder. We recommend visiting Panama during the dry season, which runs from December to April. March offers a chance to escape the holiday crowds and also offers a more affordable time!
Panama
Argentina
Just like Chile, Argentina is a vast country with so much to see and do. Stunning scenery, impressive cities, and of course, those famous waterfalls—Argentina has it all. March is by far the best month to visit. Temperatures are pleasant throughout the country. Moreover, most Argentinians have January and February off. By planning your vacation in March, you'll avoid the crowds and can enjoy the country in peace (and affordably).
Argentina
Best time to travel in March: Middle East
Oman
Oman is one of the Middle East's most diverse destinations. Hidden swimming paradises, deserted deserts, and countless historic villages; a trip to Oman is an unforgettable experience. Oman's only downside is the temperature. It can get incredibly hot, sometimes even too hot for Westerners. Therefore, definitely plan your holiday between November and March. During these winter months, temperatures don't rise too high, and you can enjoy all the tourist attractions without any problems.
Oman
Dubai
Dubai stands for luxury, opulence, modern architecture, and stunning attractions. A visit to Dubai is a truly memorable experience. Dubai has a desert climate, meaning temperatures can soar and it's generally dry. However, in March, daytime temperatures are pleasant, and nights aren't too chilly. This way, you can also enjoy the city's splendor in the evenings without feeling cold.
Dubai
Jordan
Jordan is a bit of an under-the-radar holiday destination, and it's hardly surprising. Petra, the world wonder, the vibrant red dunes, the Dead Sea, the countless camels… Jordan is a diverse country steeped in history. If you want to experience the local culture, March is the best time to visit. The weather is good this month, there are few tourists, and flight prices are low. Perfect, right?
Jordan
Best time to travel in March: Africa
Cape Verde
Cape Verde is an archipelago off the coast of Senegal. It's often overlooked when planning a vacation. However, Cape Verde offers a delightful mix of mountains, beaches, and picturesque villages, perfect for a varied trip. Summers in this part of Africa can be very hot. However, in March, the temperature is pleasant and there's sometimes a cool breeze. This makes it the ideal time to visit this charming destination.
Cape Verde
Gambia
The Gambia is definitely one of the best destinations with warm weather in March. This beautiful country has a very cheerful and cheerful atmosphere. The atmosphere is exuberant, the people are incredibly friendly, and the scenery is stunning. The dry season runs from November to April. In March, it's very sunny and the nights cool down sufficiently. This way, you can enjoy Gambian culture day and night and get the most out of your trip!
Gambia
Kenya
When you think of Kenya, you probably immediately think of safaris. But there's so much more to experience. You can explore the beautiful savannah, and the country boasts several resorts for a lazy, relaxing holiday. April and May are incredibly rainy, so this is definitely the time to avoid. In March, the weather is perfect for spotting animals, enjoying the beaches, and visiting local villages.
Kenya
Zanzibar
Zanzibar is a Tanzanian island with heavenly beaches. At one of the many resorts, you can completely unwind and be pampered. If you're looking for action, you can spend a day snorkeling or visit the capital. Zanzibar also experiences its dry season until March. During this month, humidity is relatively low and temperatures are pleasant. Moreover, the peak season ends in February, and ticket prices drop dramatically in March.
Zanzibar
South Africa
Animals, mountains, modern cities, deserts, nature reserves… South Africa is a spectacular country that's definitely worth a visit. It's best to visit in autumn or spring. Summers get incredibly hot, and temperatures can drop significantly during the winter months, especially in the mountainous regions. March is therefore a safe choice. You'll beat the summer heat and avoid the coldest months. Moreover, March is the low season, making tickets cheaper.
South Africa
Best time to travel in March: America
Florida St
Florida is a blend of Caribbean charm and American modernity. A vacation in this state offers a wide variety of activities, from a lazy day on a pristine white beach to attending a sporting event or visiting one of the many amusement parks. The best time to visit Florida is in March, which offers plenty of sunshine, minimal rain, and perfect temperatures. Ideal for a full day of action!
Florida St
Best time to travel in March: Caribbean
Cuba
Cuba is the most photogenic country in the world. Its rich history and authentic culture make for stunning images. You'll also find lush vegetation, white beaches, mountains, and waterfalls in Cuba. Later in the day, you'll also find the dancing Cubans and their accompanying mojitos. To avoid hurricanes, travel to this surprisingly beautiful country during the dry season, which runs from November to April. March is the peak season, meaning you'll avoid the busiest period.
Cuba
Aruba
A vacation in Aruba is always enjoyable. This country boasts heavenly beaches, cultural cities, and adventurous excursions, so there's something for everyone. The best months to visit Aruba are the first few months of the year. March is especially interesting, as the Carnival rush is over. Naturally, this also means cheaper tickets, allowing you to spend more on delicious cocktails and fun excursions.
Aruba
Curaçao
Curaçao is much more than just white beaches and blue sea. The country boasts an incredibly interesting local Caribbean culture and a rich history. You can combine city visits with a refreshing dip in the beautiful Caribbean Sea. If you're traveling to this beautiful country, you'll naturally want to experience as much sun as possible. Therefore, travel between February and May. During these months, there's almost no rain, and the weather is ideal for a variety of fun activities!
Curacao
Bonaire
Bonaire is at the top of every diver's and snorkeler's list. This tiny island is much quieter than other Caribbean countries, and the underwater world is simply breathtaking. Be sure to take a tour through the mangrove forests, where you can admire some truly unique fish. You can easily arrange a trip to Bonaire in March. The weather is perfect, and the sea is calm. It's the ideal time to spend hours floating on the water, searching for the most beautiful fish and corals.
Bonaire
From the Dominican Republic
Bachata, merengue, cocktails, palm trees... A trip to the Dominican Republic is one big party. During the day, you'll visit a colonial city or enjoy the beautiful beaches, while in the evening, you'll let loose to the traditional music. March also boasts beautiful weather. Pleasant temperatures, a fresh breeze, and warm nights. The peak season is just over, making it easier to connect with the locals. This is the best way to truly immerse yourself in the culture and be completely captivated by this country!
Dominican Republic
Best time to travel in March: Europe
Canary Islands
The Canary Islands have something for everyone. The endless dunes of Gran Canaria, the verdant green of La Palma, the volcanic Lanzarote… Each island offers a unique reason to visit. What's more, you can combine the beautiful scenery with endless tapas and delicious cocktails. The weather is always good in the Canary Islands, with the best temperatures in March. You'll avoid the cooler winter and travel just before it gets too hot.
Canary Islands
Algarve Portugal
The Algarve is Portugal's most famous region. Its iconic coastline, with its hidden beaches, diverse bays, and picturesque coastal towns, captures everyone's imagination. You can also sample local delicacies in one of the fishing villages. The Algarve enjoys virtually all-day beautiful weather. Only in December and January can it get chilly at night. In March, the evenings are also very pleasant, perfect for a late-night stroll on the beach. This also allows you to avoid the summer holidays and avoid the crowds.

The following:

Note to self: always leave 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.
They've been tested extensively and are 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!

Looking for a stylish winter sports destination in France? Méribel is one of those places where everything is perfect: beautiful ski-in/ski-out hotels, excellent restaurants on and off the slopes, wonderful spas, and, if you're feeling energetic, après-ski.
I was there for a weekend without my little FAM, but I knew straight away: this is also perfect for the whole family thanks to the many green and blue slopes, so we will definitely go back!
Below are the Méribel tips you'll want to save 👇🏼

⦁ No trip to France is complete without a stop at the local Pharmacy for the best beauty brands.
⦁ And have you even been to France if you don't take home some cheese and charcuterie as souvenirs ;-).

⦁ Spa day @lecoucoumeribel (can also be booked outside the season for non-hotel guests!).

Taking the train to your ski holiday? I say go for it! Door-to-door via Paris (Eurostar + TGV + bus) to Méribel in just over 10 hours. I found it very relaxing!
And of course it would be even more fun to add a night in Paris to it next time.
Save these tips if you're a winter sports lover like me 🫶🏼.

While I'm currently hopping from hotel to hotel and neighborhood to neighborhood in Bangkok (all in the name of “research” and new food hotspots for the new LITTLE BLACK BOOK 😉). Back home, Amsterdam is serving peak weekend vibes.
Think: Dim Sum Sunday in Noord, vibrant Chinese New Year celebrations across the city and a Vietnamese Tết feast at @yen.diningbar. Add market gems like the @le.temps.perdu.brocante pop-up in Oud-West and @themakermarket at De Hallen, and your weekend basically plans itself.
And yes, make time for ARTIS: there are now two elephant calves and they're too cute. 🐘🐘 Instant serotonin incoming, I promise!

My small tiny Thai wedding 🥰
Krabi 27-12-23 / Amsterdam 14-12-24
Still so glad we had a rather spontaneous elopement wedding in Thailand with just the three of us during the Christmas holidays instead of staying engaged forever ❤️. I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Happy V-day 😘
With love,
Anne
