Are you going on holiday this summer? STAYCATIONThen you'll want to check out this guide with tons of inspiration for a vacation close to home.
For the past six years, I've traveled the world creating city and travel guides for Your Little Black Book. I've seen the sunrise in the most tropical climes and spotted the latest food trends in far-flung cities across the ocean. And when I'm home in Amsterdam, the weeks I'm not traveling are all about discovering the city's newest hotspots.

Before I started YOURLITTLEBLACKBOOK.ME I often went on weekend trips to the Netherlands and Belgium. And this staycationsI've really missed vacations close to home these past few years! There's so much beauty to see and do that doesn't require a plane. Maybe you live in the Randstad, like me, or maybe you don't. One thing's for sure: a weekend, day, or midweek getaway with your partner, friends, or family is incredibly enjoyable and inspiring. Whether you're getting a breath of fresh air by the sea or discovering great places in another city, you don't have to travel far to get away from it all.
For my new book STAYCATION That's why I drove around the country in my Your Little Black Book Peugeot 208 to create travel guides. To 21 of the best cities in the Netherlands and Belgium, and to Texel, the Ibiza of the North! In this book, you'll find 22 guides and tons of handy lists with travel tips close to home to inspire you to go on more staycations. From Amsterdam (my hometown, of course, couldn't be left out) to my birthplace Middelburg, the exuberant Maastricht and Nijmegen, plus the best places to stay by the sea or in nature. Discover something new every week and explore the Netherlands and Belgium with the bucket list I've compiled with the help of my favorite bloggers, vloggers, and Instagrammers.
