Nature with a pinch of art
The international art walk on the hoher Fläming. September in Berlin is a month of contrasts and surprises. We’ve just had some really cold days. I took my winter shoes out, wrapped myself in a blanket and made sure to always carry an umbrella. Luckily summer wasn’t quite done yet…
Street art in Plovdiv
Plovdiv in Bulgaria surprised me a lot. I’d never really heard of the city and when I started researching I found out it has got so much to offer. There are Roman ruins, beautiful old traditional houses, view points and… street art! Plovdiv is a very trendy city with some…
A visit to the Kröller Müller
When I see my brother and his wife I generally just see him at my parents’ or visit his house. This time though, we decided to do something else. Since many things are open again, we ventured into a museum. The Kröller Müller museum of modern art stands right in…
Travel theme: Fierce
Last year I visited the Kröller Müller museum in Otterlo, The Netherlands. A big part of the art is outside, when you walk up to the museum and in the huge sculpture garden. This is ‘wild boar’ from Piet Slegers. I think the statue looks incredibly fierce, especially with the…

Chirping skies
I love seeing some good street art, especially when it’s unexpected and catches you off guard. While walking around Sydney my friend directed me to a laneway near the City Recital Hall, called Angel Place. It’s in the heart of the CBD and yet off the radar. When my friend…
