There's a Substack to go out, a new guide, two even, and I still have about six reels to edit… So here's a picture of our house 🫶🏼

If you want to know something (names and numbers of things in our house), drop it below, or click your way to Bartsboekje.com, type 'look inside' in the search bar on the homepage and you will get an article with all the info and links. Hopla!

Cool snaps by @emmapeijnenburg of course

Snaps from a mini break in Corfu!

I asked a friend to join me and we went on 4 long (hello night flights) trips to the Greek island. Honestly? We really thought it was a surprise, so much fun! Although we certainly didn't finish the island in 4 days, we did see and do an incredible amount (early season is so much fun and chill). Also a few places you can skip (I'll come back to that in the soon to be guide), but above all a lot of beautiful and fun things.

What I already think is the best tip: our @byjune.nl accommodation in the middle of the island. Lovely houses with a perfect private pool (there are 2 bedrooms and the houses are detached: ideal for a family). We liked the old town the most (20 minutes drive - at ByJune you always book incl. car rental) and the beaches on the west coast so beautiful and nice (less than 15 minutes drive). Best of both worlds! (If you sleep in the city or on the coast, we thought it was quite a 'far' drive to get to the other favorite). Link to our accommodation via stories.

Two more reasons to go to Corfu (reason 1 is that the island itself is surprisingly nice):

* perfect base for a day trip
* just looked it up and in high season (July / Aug) our accommodation still has room (brand new) and for 8 days you pay with 4 people about 3500, - (incl car and flight). That price varies per date of course, but still, I think it's a great deal.

That's it for my speech and enthusiasm.

(Yup. Invited, but the enthusiasm is genuine anyway)
