Brabant Remembers: What to do in Brabant to commemorate 75 years liberation.

Tweet

Brabant commemorates 75 years of liberation after World War 2 with its Brabant Remembers initiative. I discovered and explored Brabant by taking on Destination Challenges in this framework.

My journey through Brabant touched me deeply and made me more aware that we should never forget what divisive politics can lead to...

Rotterdam Unlimited: Colours, beats and unbreakable smiles.

Tweet

Rotterdam Unlimited is quite the spectacle! It brings the beautiful diversity of Rotterdam to its streets. The result is a colorful parade of smiles and beats. It's absolutely contagious and before you know it you're shaking your hips all over the streets of Rotterdam.

The first day you have the battle of the bands where brass bands compete for the title of best Rotterdam Unlimited brass band. The energy and dedicating coming from these brass bands is absolutely astonishing. Everybody gives their all in a collective and synchronized effort to win the hearts of the public.

The second day it's the Rotterdam Unlimited parade where you'll see people from literally all over the world celebrating their culture and folklore. This results in a sea of colors flooding harbor city Rotterdam.

Fun Fun Fun! Watch the video and pictures below ;-)

Indonesian food cooking class at Marché 010 in Rotterdam

Tweet

Ryan, 'le sac a dos' and I made our way to Marché 010 a brand new indoor food market that opened on the 15th of August 2017. Our first Destination Challenge in Rotterdam was to prepare an Indonesian food dish. Luckily we had Jerry by our side to show us the Indonesian way. 

Together we prepared Ayam Suwir aka pulled chicken. We had a fun time preparing it and the eating part was even better. Absolutely delicious. 

Who else is a fan of Indonesian food and what's your favourite dish? Let us know in the comments below ;-)

Watch our little oriental cooking adventure here. 😉
