Indonesia. I lived there, so maybe it's obvious, but it always feels like coming home. The warmth, the chaos, the food—everything feels right there for me. I lived in Australia (Sydney and Melbourne) and Indonesia (Jakarta) for a few years, and that mix of cultures has shaped me. I feel a little at home everywhere, and I really enjoy traveling and discovering other cultures.

Japan. Everything is perfect down to the smallest detail, and yet it remains a country full of surprises. I find the balance between tradition and staying ahead of many trends fascinating.

I try to travel consciously, but not with guilt. I treat nature and people with respect, eat and shop locally, and support small-scale entrepreneurs by booking their tours. Small choices make a difference. In Balikpapan (Borneo), we once stayed at a center that cares for orangutans and involves local people in rainforest conservation. Places like that touch me the most; you enjoy yourself, but you also leave something beautiful behind.

"You can get the best coffee at Market Lane Coffee in Melbourne, but Coffee District in Amsterdam remains a favorite too. Munchies in Lombok has delicious espresso and a great breakfast. Restaurant Bambu in Seminyak has the best Indonesian food, and in Amsterdam I love Proeflokaal van Wees. Tuur in Maastricht has delicious, unique wines and a good menu. Then I stay overnight at the Cousins ​​Boutique Hotel, run by two cousins ​​who have created a fantastic concept. In Lombok, I love the Qunci Hotel, and I'm also a fan of all the 25 Hours Hotels, which have a great selection." quirky and playful style.”
