View over Kraków on a fresh January day
I have been taking photos ever since my uncle and aunt inspired me to buy my first DSL at the age of 16. I was born in Holland, moved to the eastern part of the Netherlands, immigrated to Sweden. Here I wrote a travel guide book as thick as a brick about my new home country, was a news and radio correspondent and was a teacher in Swedish schools. 15 years after settling in the land of the Vikings, I popped over to the southern side of the Baltic Sea, and found my third home in Kraków, Poland. The third time's the charm. From here I discover more of Europe. Take the Lofoten Island in Northern Norway, or Granada in Southern Spain.

My newest stories
Sacromonte, Granada | Andalusia, Spain
17 May 2025 • An absolute must on a visit to Granada is the Sacromonte neighbourhood. Walking a meandering road uphill from Albaicín one enters the area where the Roma settled after the Christians took over the town in the late 1400s. Some white walled houses and cave homes make the area excentric, but especially the latter also tell a sad past of being expelled from where they lived. In this case, the Jewish and Muslim communities in the 1600s.
Lofoten Islands | Norway
16 May 2025 •To complete my recent quartet of stories from Norway, I present the Lofoten. It is a group of stunning islands in the far north of Norway. My visit to the Lofoten was super short, two days only, and included a cool small boat ride to Svolvær from Narvik, on the Norwegian mainland.
Bosbergtoren in Friesland | The Netherlands
11 May 2025 •At the southern edge of Friesland, in a green forest area, stands a cool viewing tower. The Bosbergtoren is the highest vantage point one can visit in the province. One can climb up on the inside of this metal tree and walk on its branches made of metal and glass.
Eindhoven | the Netherlands
10 May 2025 • For many Dutch, Eindhoven (246,000 inh.) will always be connected with light bulbs and Philips. This city in the southern Noord-Brabant province of the country was the birth ground of the technology giant, started by Gerard Philips in 1891. I visited Eindhoven, looking for the soul of what was left of the corporation.
Evoluon | Feature
10 May 2025 • Step into a cool looking spaceship in the city of Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Luring earthlings since 1966, the Evoluon was designed as a ground-breaking museum for technology giant Philips. Currently inside the Next Nature Museum. The building and its interior are impressive. Follow me and get in.
Museum Voorlinden | Feature
29 April 2025 • A beautiful estate, impressive minimalistic architecture and a very Instagrammable collection of art. Displaying parts of the privately-owned collection of industrialist and art collector Joop van Caldenborgh (The Caldic Collection) it is great fun to visit Museum Voorlinden.
Utrecht | the Netherlands
26 April 2025 • All roads lead to Utrecht. At least in the Netherlands, since Utrecht is the most centrally located big city of the country. Geography aside, Utrecht has a lot to offer. Its centre canal Oudegracht is prettier than any canal Amsterdam can offer. It includes loads of cute bridges as well, and terraces directly down near the waterline. The historic buildings at the canals are beautiful.
