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 😘

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?

The first weekend in Amsterdam that actually feels like spring? I can't wait to spend time on the terrace this weekend and just cycle around town and go to the market for some shopping in the sun :-) 🌞.
YES dears; I'm back from vacation and fully ready for Dutch spring, long lunches and spontaneous dates with my favorite city Amsterdam.
This weekend is packed with fun things to do! From an Italian market in West with @zicami_market, to the @tableware.amsterdam pop-up sale, treasure hunting at the @ijhallen and the @nocknock.art fair. There's something for every day!
And is it just me, or is the wave of new restaurant openings huge this year? In the full weekend guide I keep a weekly updated list of the new places to check out.

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!

48 Best Destinations in November – Long-Distance Travel
Australia
From September to November, it's spring in Australia. Consider a unique trip to Tasmania, a truly unique natural paradise. Tasmania is a great place to visit in spring; temperatures can reach 19 degrees Celsius in November and are generally below 10 degrees Celsius. You'll undoubtedly encounter plenty of kangaroos during your trip to Australia. But if you're lucky, you can even spot whales, sea lions, and dolphins in Sydney in November!
New Zealand
If you travel to New Zealand in November, you'll beat everyone else to the peak season, and you won't be bothered by too many tourists. In November, the sun shines for about seven hours a day, with pleasant temperatures, no colder than 10 degrees Celsius at night. November is a great month for a trip to New Zealand, especially if you're planning on hiking. Don't forget to hike Roy's Peak during your stay. It's a challenging hike, but well worth the effort. It's on many people's bucket lists for good reason.
Japan
In terms of temperature, Japan is a good option. It's autumn in Japan, but the temperature differences between the north, central, and south are quite large. The traditional Shichi-Go-San festival takes place in November, on November 15th to be precise. This stands for the Seven-Five-Three festival and is all about children. An adventurous activity, but definitely worth it, is a visit to Japan's highest mountain, Mount Fuji. Did you know you can also see it from Tokyo?
Cambodia
Besides enjoying the summer temperatures of November, Cambodia offers incredible value for money. Beer prices are five to ten times cheaper than in the Netherlands, accommodation is inexpensive, and meals are also affordable. The country boasts a rich history and offers a wide variety of sights to admire, such as the Eighth Wonder of the World. Angkor Wat is a religious structure and the largest in the world. It's well worth setting aside a day (or half a day) to explore it!
Laos
With temperatures reaching 30 degrees Celsius in Laos, November is certainly warm. Nighttime temperatures usually don't drop below 19 degrees Celsius, so prepare for wonderfully mild evenings. Laos is generally dry, making it a great destination for travel. Plan a visit to Muang La, where you can not only hike but also take beautiful mountain walks. Exhausted after your hike? Then you can visit the nearby spa. Relaxation is also important!
Maldives
Is a trip to the Maldives also high on your list? That's perfect, because the best time to visit the Maldives is definitely November! During your trip, you can even spot whale sharks, and perhaps even manta rays. How cool is that? With summer temperatures, you can go snorkeling, diving, and end your day with a relaxing yoga and meditation session. Under these ideal conditions, you'll completely unwind.
Maldives
More long-distance travel destinations
Thailand
In Thailand, too, it never gets colder than around 18 degrees Celsius, and November is generally dry, with one caveat: if you want to avoid the rain, you can go anywhere, but southern Thailand—on the east coast—receives the most rain in November. A trip to Thailand naturally includes tasting the real, authentic Thai curry. Immerse yourself in different worlds by trekking through mountains and visiting vibrant Bangkok on the other side.
Taiwan
Traveling to a country smaller than the Netherlands? Choose the island of Taiwan! Did you know that the Dutch once settled on Formosa? That's what the island was called before. With beautiful nature reserves, this island offers a wealth of things to see and do. An average of around four hours of sunshine per day shouldn't spoil the fun, and with temperatures hovering around 20 degrees Celsius, this is your chance to take long (cycling) trips and visit Taiwan's unique national parks.
Lithuania, Vilnius
This month, the temperatures are pleasant, and much of it is dry. Visit Hong Kong's largest temple, the Man Mo Temple on Hong Kong Island. We also recommend admiring the stunning views from Victoria Peak, which offers a magnificent view of all of Hong Kong. If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, you can climb Victoria Peak yourself. Are you up for it?
Myanmar
With temperatures ranging from 17 to 30 degrees Celsius, a trip to Myanmar is very pleasant. Myanmar, formerly Burma, has only recently become accessible to tourists. That's precisely what makes it such a wonderful country to visit. Myanmar has earned the name "Jewel of Asia," and for good reason. Numerous golden temples await you, and the locals are very welcoming. We also recommend relaxing on the beautiful Ngapali Beach. A dreamlike scene, but in reality!
Chili
The best time to visit Chile is November, again depending on your personal preferences. The weather during this spring period is clear, especially in northern Chile. A section of the collapsed volcano, Valle de Luna, is an impressive activity to plan. With or without a guide, Valle de Luna is easy to visit. Some say it's reminiscent of Star Wars. It's like you're actually walking around there!
Vietnam
Vietnam is much more well-known, where temperatures are also pleasant. Rain can fall in central Vietnam, with a risk of storms. Keep that in mind! Vietnam is generally a popular backpacker destination, and we understand why. You'll experience countless highlights during your trip. For a taste of traditional Asia, visit Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Vietnam
More long-distance travel destinations
Brazil
In Brazil, the temperature won't drop below 17 degrees Celsius in November, and the maximum temperature hovers around 25 degrees Celsius. Visiting Rio de Janeiro? Then you'll enjoy the golden beaches and vibrant nightlife. Do you love nature and value sustainability? Then consider traveling to Bonito.
Panama
Panama experiences a lot of rain in November, but that's no reason not to visit this beautiful country. Temperatures hover around 25 degrees Celsius, and this month marks both Colombia's independence (November 3) and Panama's independence (November 28). You can also visit the impressive rainforests and Panama City.
Costa Rica
Are you a fan of beautiful nature? Then put Costa Rica at the top of your list. You'll encounter beautiful animals, lush jungles, and majestic volcanoes in this verdant paradise. From Amsterdam, you can fly to this Latin American country in just 11 hours. Fun fact: more than 30 percent of the country's natural beauty is protected. You'll wake up from your bed to the howls of howler monkeys, and there's a good chance you'll encounter a raccoon or parrot during your morning walk. Costa Rica is the country you can't get enough of. Be sure to pack your shorts, because even in November, it's wonderfully warm in Costa Rica.
Argentina
The Tango, friendly locals, and stunning scenery—you'll find it all in Argentina. It's no wonder many Dutch people decide to pack their backpacks and head to South America. As a tourist, there's so much to see; it's almost impossible to do it all in one trip. Relax on the beautiful beaches or take a walk through the breathtaking natural surroundings. Rent a car and travel to the capital, Buenos Aires. Enjoy a drink on a terrace or visit one of the many museums. The colorful streets alone are worth a visit.
Ecuador
Ecuador, a South American country named after its location, is Spanish for "Equator" (Ecuador lies precisely on the equator). This exotic country is known for its stunning natural beauty. With numerous active volcanoes and hot springs, it's a popular tourist destination. Besides its lush greenery, you can also visit colorful markets and historic villages. Tip: bring a raincoat in November, as it rains quite a bit this month.
South Africa
November is neither too cold nor too hot in South Africa. During your stay in South Africa, you can spot the Big Five in several locations. Kruger National Park is perfect for this. You can join an organized tour, but it's also easy to explore with your own (rental) car. Want to reach the top of the world? Then plan a trip to the Sani Pass, an adventurous trek! November also sees the Roof of Africa: The Mother of Hard Enduro, as they call it.
South Africa
more destinations in November long-distance travel
Namibia
While Myanmar is called the "Jewel of Asia," Namibia is called the "Jewel of Africa." Once you learn more about the country and experience it for yourself, you'll understand why. Namibia boasts a vast desert, the Namib Desert. Did you know it's the oldest desert in the world? A magical place! There's no doubt about the summer temperatures; they'll reach a maximum of around 30 degrees Celsius and won't drop below 18 degrees Celsius. November is an ideal month; it certainly won't be too hot.
Mauritius
With an average temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, you'll be in good hands in Mauritius this month. This small island is barely bigger than Utrecht, but it has a lot to offer. Besides pristine white beaches, Mauritius also boasts beautiful waterfalls that are definitely worth a visit. Or visit the oldest tea plantation in Mauritius: the Bois Cheri Tea Plantation.
Seychelles
Travel to the world's most beautiful beaches: the Seychelles. November is a great time to visit; you won't experience extreme heat or cold. The weather will be calmer than other months, with a mix of tropical showers, sunshine, and sea breezes. Snorkeling, diving, and sunbathing: guaranteed enjoyment! You can make your trip as adventurous as you like.
Uganda
In East Africa, you'll find a true gem of Africa, Uganda. Visiting Bwindi Impenetrable National Park? You might just come face to face with a mountain gorilla! We also recommend the enchanting Murchison Falls to complete your trip to this gem. Keep in mind that November can be quite rainy, with precipitation typically occurring for half the month. Of course, that shouldn't spoil the fun: so bring rain gear!
Kenya
If you travel to Kenya in November, you have the chance to attend the Lamu Cultural Festival. It's the perfect opportunity to experience Kenya's culture and traditions! There's even a donkey race. Will you be there? The temperature won't be too hot or too cold, perfect conditions for exploring the country!
Zanzibar
Zanzibar is world-famous for its beautiful sandy beaches; the beaches are almost nowhere as white, and the sea is almost nowhere as turquoise. Temperatures rarely drop below an average of 30 degrees Celsius in Zanzibar. November isn't the dry season, but it won't rain often or heavily. Besides the beautiful beaches, will you also visit the sea turtles on Prison Island?
Zanzibar
more destinations in November – long-distance travel
Cape Verde
Cape Verde is high on the list of destinations for wintering outside the Netherlands. It's warm year-round and there's hardly any rain! A perfect combination for a holiday. Besides sun, sea, and sand, there's so much more to do. From horseback riding at sunset to climbing a volcano: what will you put on your itinerary?
Gambia
November is the hottest month of the year, with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius. The rainy season has just ended, so nature is still a wonderfully green. Fun fact: in the Bijilo Monkey Forest, as the name suggests, you can visit monkeys in complete freedom.
Cuba
Traveling to Cuba in November means traveling to a diverse island with pleasant temperatures averaging 27 degrees Celsius. Choose one day to relax on the beach and the next to visit Cienfuegos and Trinidad, both UNESCO World Heritage sites. You'll also find a bustling port and stunning natural beauty. The better question is: what doesn't Cuba offer?
Bonaire
Attention diving enthusiasts! Bonaire is the island to visit if you love diving. The fact that it's a bit wetter in November doesn't matter at all! With temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius, Bonaire is tropically warm. Bonaire is also wonderful for an adventurous hike or walk to the most beautiful viewpoints. In short, both the underwater world and the one above it are magnificent!
Aruba
On the beautiful tropical island in the Caribbean, it's eternal summer. While the temperature in the Netherlands barely rises above ten degrees Celsius in November, it's a different story on Aruba. With an average temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, you only need to bring your summer clothes. And the rainy season, which starts in October, only has eight days of rain. That's nothing, right? Besides the pristine white beaches, you can't miss Aruba's highest point: Hooiberg. Brace yourself for the 600-step climb to the top!
aruba
More long-distance travel destinations in November
Curacao
Winter isn't a familiar concept in Curaçao. Escape the colder temperatures and enjoy a visit to this beautiful Caribbean part of the Kingdom. Besides sun, sea, and sand, this island offers much more. Delve into history and visit the Kura Hulanda Museum. Fancy a sporty and adventurous day? You can climb Mount Christoffel on this island. Your reward will be a magnificent view of all of Curaçao!
Mexico
Want to avoid the busy tourist season and enjoy generally sunny weather? Then November is a great time to visit Mexico. This is especially true for Mexico City. Daytime temperatures will hover around 20 degrees Celsius, making it pleasant to explore the city. Revolution Day is celebrated on the third Monday in November. Events are organized throughout the country during this official holiday.
Jordan
Traveling to Jordan in November? With an average high temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius, November is a great time to visit. It won't be too hot or icy cold. Ideal conditions for a hike to Petra, for example. When traveling to Jordan, Petra is an absolute must-see, as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A trip to Wadi Rum is also highly recommended.
Oman
Oman, the land of dates. For years, Oman exported vast quantities of dates. Over the years, Oman has developed into a modern country, yet with its own unique history. The inhabitants of this country still primarily wear traditional clothing. Men wear a dishdasha (a type of white dress). Women wear a jallabia (dress) over which they wear a thobe (overdress). Temperatures in Oman are high year-round, with temperatures rising to around 25 degrees Celsius in November. For those who want to avoid the cold winters of the Netherlands, Oman is a good holiday destination.
Dubai
Dubai, a city that has quickly become one of the world's largest, is a city you won't easily be bored in. Climb the world's tallest skyscraper. Since 2007, this tower has offered a completely different perspective on the city, from a height of 828 meters! Of course, you can't leave Dubai without visiting one of the large shopping malls. Fed up with the hustle and bustle? Then book a safari and go on an adventure in the desert. Don't forget your hat and sunglasses, as the sun can be quite intense. With temperatures of over 30 degrees Celsius, a dip in the pool is also a must.
Dubai
BEST DESTINATIONS IN NOVEMBER – SUN HOLIDAYS IN EUROPE (and just beyond)
Portugal
Portugal is one of the few countries in Europe – you can count them on two hands – that's a wonderful place to visit in November. Did you know that even in November, it can be above 20 degrees Celsius? Wintering in Portugal isn't such a bad idea after all; you can recharge perfectly and then briefly experience winter in the Netherlands. Portugal offers fantastic surfing, but the Algarve is also known as the place to catch waves. These activities will keep you busy for a while!
Sicily
Sicily, the Italian island in the Mediterranean Sea. Anyone who's ever been to Sicily knows that there's nothing lacking in delicious food and conviviality. Besides the delicious food, this island boasts stunning scenery. Mount Etna is among the most active volcanoes in Europe. Even in November, you can still enjoy some sunshine in Sicily. The average temperature here ranges between 13 and 18 degrees Celsius. So you can leave those thick winter sweaters at home during a holiday to Sicily.
Canary Islands
The beautiful islands west of Morocco together form the Canary Islands. These seven distinct islands each have their own unique charm. Are you a true nature lover? Then visit La Palma, with its beautiful hiking trails, where you can cover many miles. Want to be sure of some sunshine? Then fly to Tenerife. Thanks to the subtropical climate, it's practically always wonderfully warm here.
Turkey
When you're going on a sunny holiday, the weather is of course very important. In Turkey, the average temperature is around 15 degrees Celsius. While this might not seem very pleasant at first glance, it can actually feel wonderful. The wind chill factor is higher in eastern Europe during the winter months than elsewhere in Europe. Even strolling along the promenade without a coat shouldn't be a problem. You wouldn't expect it, but in Turkey, it's possible to enjoy the sun and enjoy a winter sports holiday at the same time. In Antalya, you can start the day with a visit to the beach, then put on your ski gear in the late afternoon for some active pursuits. If you really want to take a dip, book accommodation with a heated pool. However, due to the cold water supply, it can be chilly.
Andalusia – Spain
Andalusia, the southern part of Spain, is a wonderful holiday destination even in November. Anyone who's ever been to Spain will experience the cheerful atmosphere on every corner. From tapas to sangria, Andalusia always has a summery vibe. The maximum temperature in November is still around 20 degrees Celsius. It's the ideal starting point for a visit to the cities of Malaga, Almería, and Cádiz.
Madeira
Madeira, a beautiful island in the Atlantic Ocean. This colorful island is also known as the Flower Island because of its abundance of beautiful flowers. With its mild climate, it's also a wonderful holiday destination in November. Rent a car and embark on an adventure through the stunning natural surroundings. Don't forget your camera; spring seems to never end in Madeira. Not only nature is colorful; the streets and buildings in the capital, Funchal, are also adorned with striking hues.
Egypt
Pyramids and pharaohs—you'll find them all in Egypt. Besides the magnificent culture, Egypt boasts several luxury resorts. Book an all-inclusive hotel and enjoy peace and quiet. In November, temperatures can still reach 25 degrees Celsius with the sun shining brightly, so don't forget your sunscreen. Besides beach loungers, you can also book various excursions. Take a dip in the deep to spot dolphins or journey through the desert on a camel.
Egypt
BEST DESTINATIONS IN NOVEMBER – CITY TRIPS
Marrakech
The streets of Marrakech, who hasn't heard of them? Anyone visiting this chaotic city can't miss the souks. A beautiful market where locals are ready to sell their wares. Think beautiful handmade rugs and fresh herbs. And we haven't even mentioned the decorations and the delicious aroma that permeates the narrow streets. Temperatures are pleasant in November. While it can reach 40 degrees Celsius in the summer, you can expect 20 degrees Celsius in November. Be aware, however, that the desert climate can cool down considerably at night. So, a sweater is definitely a must.
Valencia
Winter sun is almost impossible to find in Europe. Yet, there are a few gems where you can catch that last bit of sun of the year, including Valencia. Average temperatures in November can still reach 20 degrees Celsius. An afternoon strolling along the boulevard in your denim jacket? That could easily become a reality in Valencia. A city break to Valencia during the winter months offers other advantages besides the beautiful weather. The lines at all the attractions are shorter, and you won't be walking around with sweaty armpits. Do you love atmosphere? Then you're in luck! During the winter months, the various fountains and buildings are decorated with the most beautiful lights, and the orange trees in the city are laden with fruit.
Lisbon
A city trip to Lisbon isn't just a summer affair these days. Even in November, the temperatures are wonderful, and you can enjoy the sun and a drink on a terrace. If you visit Lisbon in November, you can't escape all the delicacies. November 1st is a festive day, the Feast of All Saints, celebrated by many Christians in the city. The dead are remembered here in a cheerful and colorful way. The film festival kicks off in the second week of November. Various events and concerts are organized during this festival, and you can enjoy everything the city has to offer. In short, there's plenty to do in Lisbon in November.
Lisbon
BEST DESTINATIONS IN NOVEMBER – WINTER SPORTS AND SNOW
Lapland
When you think of Lapland, you think of reindeer sledding and the magnificent Northern Lights. It's no wonder Lapland is on the list of best destinations in November. Of course, there's much more to see in Lapland, namely snow and ice! A winter holiday in Lapland is more than just the slopes. Take a beautiful walk through the enchanted forests and, like an Inuit, walk towards the Northern Lights. Be sure to dress warmly! The icy temperatures in this country call for extra thick layers.
Iceland
November might just be the best time to travel to Iceland. It's the height of winter in November, and snow is everywhere. Temperatures will be around freezing. Anyone who's been to Iceland can't miss the Northern Lights. You can see them in Reykjavik and Akureyi, among other places, but also at Lake Mývatn, also known as the volcanic lake.
