So after I present to you… The Netherlands I give you part 2.. I present to you.. My town Uden.. My town is not very interesting for tourists I think, we don’t have really big sights or attractions, but it’s an average Dutch town so that does make it interesting for others at the same time..…

Abraham & Sarah tradition when somebody turns 50. When somebody turns 50 there is a saying that they have seen Abraham or Sarah. If it’s a man who turns 50 they say he has seen Abraham and when it’s a woman they say she has seen Sarah. To celebrate the 50th birthday of a person we decorate …

A great meetup included the attraction park! Organize by Devika and she did a great job!

Today was the day to go back home:-(. arround 09.00am we went for breakfast, after we said goodbye to everyone we packed our bags and checked out our room. we had to  wait for 2 hours so we sat down on the terras and had a drink. Our transfer was coming on 1.50pm so it took a while.  Af…

I'm normally not the first one to admit these things, but I think I might actually have been stretching myself a bit too much lately. Not only had a situation of undermanning meant some additional work, but the sheer number of projects I was working on at my day job was also slightly overwhelming. …

It's the day before departure, and I waited until now to start packing my backpack. I do this all the time when I go away somewhere, but somehow it's easier for me to wait until the last minute before doing much of anything travel related. I've said my goodbyes to my colleagues at work and most of …

When I moved to Breda two years and two months ago, the only thing I knew was that it had an awesome shopping centre (according my mom and one of her aunts..) and that it was the city my new school was in. After some school-hopping in the two years before this, going to school wasn't something enti…

While visiting Brett in the Netherlands on a short trip, he confirmed with the real estate person that we definitely wanted this apartment and the owner was willing to meet our "demands".  She lowered the rent to Brett's company housing allowance, replacing the refrigerator, and putting in a w…

This time the drive back to 's-Hertogenbosch took sooo long. First, it was a delayed - nothing too bad, 2nd there was a problem and the train stopped in the middle of our ride, 3rd we had to change trains 2 times!!! After 4 hours we finally arrived to S’ Hertogenbosch.   I barely had time…

Maurice (Krabbezeiker) had a birthday on June 22nd and I was wishing Happy Birthdays when I ran across this member’s profile picture.  It’s the only picture he has posted so I thought it would be nice to lighten it up to let folks see his good looks and nice smile.   I do this Photo…

Today Robin and me celebrated our 3rd anniversary :) To celebrate we went to visit The Eftelig. The Efteling is the most well known theme-park in our country and very populair with tourists. I really love the place. It’s a theme-park based on myths and fairy tales. The place has a dreamy look cau…

A wintery TB Meetup in Eindhoven where we celebrated Brett's birthday and had some drinks in Trafalgar Pub and dinner in Wokparadijs. Eindhoven the City of Lights was lightened in beautiful "colours of lights"

My thoughts were to go and get to to know my own country a little bit more. Never been much in the south of Holland, never been to Eindhoven (or was I ten years ago? I vaguely remember this carnival thing, hmmm, dunno, maybe I had been here after all), and as Brett and Marthijn organised this meetu…

After a crazy day of Efteling, party in Rotterdam and party in Tilburg on Saturday, I woke up with a big smile on my face on Sunday. Together with Devika, Anna-Isabel, Ket, Jos and Brett I had a nice Sunday brunch in the centre of Tilburg. We really made it a TravBuddy lunch, even checking th…

My first meetup :-) It was just great!
