Another one of my favourite photos from my two-day hike along the Vasaloppsleden trail. I especially love the contrast between the brown stones in the water and all those green surroundings. Sweden is such a beautiful country!

Hunneschans
In 2008, a friend and I visited a beautiful area in the eastern part of the Netherlands. It’s called the Hunneschans, which used to be a Medieval fortified structure by the Uddelermeer. These days, you can still see the earthen structure of the ring, as you can see on the bottom picture. It was aContinueContinue reading “Hunneschans”
Rise and shine!
In October/November 2009, I worked on an archaeological excavation. Getting to the digging site from home took a few hours and to beat the rush hour, we had to be on the highway by 6 am. Luckily, during the week, we could stay at a ‘digging house’ closer to the site, which saved a lotContinueContinue reading “Rise and shine!”
Bay of Islands
The Bay of Islands is a beautiful area in the North of New Zealand. During the tour, we stopped at Urepukapuka Island, a lovely and relaxed place. The view from the top of the hill was amazing! Bay of Islands from TravelSan on Vimeo.

We stayed in the beautiful province of Dalarna in a tiny place called Venjan. My absolute highlight of the week was a two-day, 36 km hike along the Vasaloppsleden trail. It was beautiful!ContinueContinue reading “Camp with a view”
Pastels
I love the colours that accompany the setting sun. In this photo, I particularly love the haziness and the almost pastel colours of the landscape before me, as I travel through the Dutch landscape.
Survey on the river Meuse
It was the summer of 2009, I was working hard on my thesis and about to graduate from uni. I was full of hopes and dreams of having a career in archaeology. ‘Via via’ I was able to join in on a survey on the river Meuse for a few days, because ‘you never know, you mightContinueContinue reading “Survey on the river Meuse”
Afternoon sail
Sailing is one of my favourite ways to spend a beautiful sunny afternoon. I love being on the water, or in the water. Always have. I’m not a good swimmer, but I still feel like some sort of ‘water rat’. The salty air, the wind in my face, the possibility to go everywhere is soContinueContinue reading “Afternoon sail”
