Lima, Peru (Miraflores & Barranco) Travel Guide
Many countries claim to "have it all." Often, it's a beautiful phrase in a brochure (a land of contrasts, a place that offers everything, blah blah blah), but rarely is it true... Peru, on the other hand? Peru truly has it all. Golden deserts, snow-capped peaks, culinary cities (hello Lima!), wild coastlines, and dense jungle. One of the most diverse countries in the world, if you ask us. So yes, on to the land of the Incas.
Team Barts Boekje explored Lima, the culinary capital of South America, the vast dunes of Paracas, and the lush Amazon in Madre de Dios. The itinerary is now available at bartsboekje.com.
(and: always on the road with @SUITSUIT at our side)
(Invited for the trip and given the suitcase, but that was it)
I won't name names, but someone recently completely disbelieved I'm 44 (it was @ematucak), and I thought it was funny. And that was before my visit to @clinicthegoldenglow. Ha!
It's probably because I've been completely back into the beauty frenzy for a while now ;). Definitely. Not into blushes and shapers, I'm afraid that's for other people, but 'just' good for day, night, for lashes, eyebrows, lips, hair, and that's it.
No one asked, but I thought it would be fun to share: a vacation in your mind and body (and in your toiletry bag) style. @bartsbeauty
(No spon, no gifting, yes stay tuned)
The best thing about traveling is the balance between close to home and far away: Sicily versus North Brabant... Mexico versus South Kennemerland. They both continue to surprise and are both oh so lovely. The latter, South Kennemerland, just north of Amsterdam, is one of the most beautiful and enjoyable nature reserves in our country, in my opinion. With the North Holland coast and the charming town of Overveen, and everything in between.
And so I made a list: where to go for a walk (yes, even in drizzly weather: especially in drizzly weather) and where to refuel. Link in my stories.
Key to this story: make sure you have a good pair of shoes. This time, we also went out for the Danish brand @ecco. Right, those hiking boots. The brand launched some seriously cool hiking boots that keep your feet dry, even when it's pouring. With the ECCO ULT-TRN, rain becomes part of the adventure. The PFAS-free waterproof membrane keeps your feet absolutely dry, and thanks to the Michelin sole, you have grip on every path, from wet stones to loose sand. Ha!

No other Barts Boekje project took as long as the making of this Amsterdam Guide (iykyk…)
But he's here and he's TOP!
Want to know where Mayor Femke Halsema hangs out in her free time, where the chefs at favorite restaurants like Metro, Euro Pizza, Zoldering, Fort Negen, and more dine, or where Eke Bosman (Snackspert), Daan van der Lecq, Lynn van de Vorst, and Chantal Janzen are regulars, or what Liza Chloë van Duyn's true design favorites in the city are? Then buy this guide!
Now that we live in Breda, we visit Antwerp even more often (hurray!). I've already shared our "on repeat" addresses on my feed, and at @repasse_antwerp, that's quite literal: love for this wonderful restaurant where you get a second helping of some dishes (the sole is delicious!). Perfect for our palate.
Repasse is also highly recommended for anyone who loves game birds, perfect for long, cozy evenings (there's also a very nice room upstairs that can be rented privately)... See you soon!
