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?

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!

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!

More best restaurants in The Hague
Cafe Franklin
Walter Benedict's younger brother (more on that later!), just outside the city center. At this hotspot, you'll rub shoulders with locals and they're also open for lunch on weekends. In the summer, this is one of the best spots for drinks, and you can relax at the beer tables on the terrace with a craft beer and a flammkuchen snack.

Pastis
At this cozy French bistro, you'll enjoy typical French dishes. Simple, yet oh-so-flavorful. Just like in France, they also have a menu with an entree, platter, and dessert for a reasonable price. You'd almost forget you're in the heart of The Hague!

The neighborhood
Another lovely French spot, but just outside the city center. Perhaps all the more appealing for that, as you won't encounter many tourists. In good weather, the bench in front of the shop is a favorite spot for a Burgundian lunch.

The Sushi Girls
This is by far the best hotspot in the Zeeheldenkwartier for all your sushi cravings. Besides classics with a twist, they also offer vegan and gluten-free sushi. Tip: in good weather, they also have a patio.

Ohana poké & More
Good news for everyone who, like me, loves a well-filled poké bowl. Ohana in The Hague makes the absolute best. Need a photo for your Instagram? Perfect for the swing with the flamingo!

Have
Outside the city center, head to Haver for a good breakfast or a delicious organic lunch. A warm interior with wicker chairs, Bocca coffee, and homemade cake. The perfect place to start the day.

Bleyenberg
Oh yes! The Hague now also has a great rooftop bar for nice weather. Bleyenberg is a great all-day spot in the old Kwantum building, with a restaurant, coffee bar, and cocktail bar all under one roof. They have regular events, so be sure to check the calendar on the website.

Bouzy Denneweg
Are you a wine lover? After shopping on Denneweg, grab a drink at Bouzy wine bar, which offers a wide selection of wines by the glass.

Little V
Love Vietnamese food? Then you can't miss Little V (V for Vietnam) in The Hague. From delicious pho to various street food appetizers to share. If you're new to Vietnamese cuisine, prepare to be surprised by a two- to four-course menu.

Minglemush food halls The Hague
In my opinion, food halls are the perfect solution if you want to eat cheaply and everyone wants something different. Or if you just want to share as much as possible. At Minglemush food hall, you can choose from over 15 stalls! Tip: play a game in the retro arcade after your meal.

Beech
A few years ago, I ate at Noma in Copenhagen, and I've been a fan of "new Nordic cuisine" ever since. Bøg doesn't have a Michelin star, but it certainly serves delicious food. Innovative, artisanal, and simultaneously refined. Not for a quick bite, but for an evening of extensive dining with six or eight courses.

Pistachio cafe
One of the best places to enjoy breakfast, coffee, or lunch in The Hague is Pistache. Located on the corner of Prinsenstraat, near the Palace Gardens, the terrace is perfect for people-watching when the weather is nice. But you can also relax inside in the cozy green interior.

Jamie Bennett
A modern grand café where everyone is welcome all day long. From breakfast to drinks, or just a cup of coffee while shopping.
