  • Dubai Bar in the Netherlands

    Have you heard of the Dubai Bar? If not, you’ve been hiding under a rock, lucky you! If yes, you’re either on social media or have a chocolate addition (no judgement from me). *Edited to add in additional bars, including Fix, the original Dubai Bar* What is this magical bar? I’m glad you’ve asked! It’s…

  • Museums and laughs

    For those who know me, Im a total museum nerd. I prefer modern art museums but I dip my toe into what is going, to experience it and more likely than not, judge it and make fun of it (Im laughing with it, not at it). In the Netherlands you have the museumkaart which is…
