Our apartment in Amsterdam

Staying somewhere new can be daunting, especially when you’re in a new environment. So renting out an apartment which we’d never seen in person was a big task! Here’s a tour of our new apartment, taken within a few hours of landing in Amsterdam.

Sale sign in Denmark

I took this photo a few years ago while strolling down a highstreet where I noticed that many of the stores displayed brightly coloured poster boards with the words “slutspurt” written across them. Any guesses what country this was taken in?

My dad taking a photo by the river

I started this blog with the intention of documenting all of the wonderful things I see and experience in this world. It was, in part, a response to the anxiety I was feeling because of my father’s terminal illness. Shortly after I launched it, however, my father passed away. The last year has been an […]

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Rebecca!
For as long as I can remember, I've dreamed of adventure and rebelled against the idea that life should follow some sort of pre-determined path.
