October 10, 2016April 22, 2020 CulturiouslyAustralia

After living in Australia for a year, I am happy to say that I have traveled every state and territory of this amazing country. In this blog post, I will share some of my best photos, travel tips, and insights. Are you ready to take a tour?

Culture Shock: My battle after a big move

February 25, 2016April 22, 2020 CulturiouslyCulturiously

As of this moment, I have been traveling the world for 10 years, currently living on continent number 4. In 2013, after almost 5 years in Buenos Aires, I made the life-changing decision to move back to the Netherlands. I was born and raised there, so how come I felt everything but “at home”?

Arriving in Buenos Aires as a 19-year old exchange student

December 13, 2015April 22, 2020 CulturiouslyArgentina

July 6, 2006 – Buenos Aires, Argentina. The day my life changed for good. I had been traveling quite a bit in Europe before, both accompanied and by myself, but never had I crossed the Atlantic Ocean. With all my 19 years of wisdom, today I was moving to South America!

Receiving regular mail

What is it about receiving regular mail that makes it so exciting?

November 13, 2015April 22, 2020 CulturiouslyCulturiously

Last night, I received mail. I am talking about actual real regular mail. The type that arrives to your mail box, not your inbox. You know, after being delivered by a phenomenon called the mail man. I was fascinated by my own response. You feel it, you shake it, you wonder. What is it? Who […]

Life in a Melbourne share house

Share Houses in Melbourne: sharing finances or fun?

October 21, 2015 CulturiouslyAustralia

Are you used to living on your own? Love to have your own little domain with your own little things, all to yourself? Tough luck if you ever decide to move to Melbourne. Unless you are a millionaire, or willing to spend your life savings on ridiculously over-priced apartments, you will be getting one or […]

Two days of shuttling through the city of Melbourne

Marvelous Melbourne: Two days of shuttling through the city

October 6, 2015October 6, 2015 CulturiouslyAustralia

Whenever I have a free weekend, I try to make the most of it. More so when the sun shines. After two months of hibernation, it’s time discover more about our new ‘home town’! Time to dedicate two whole days to touring the marvelous city of Melbourne. How? By taking the Visitor Shuttle.

No emergency services

Always know where the nearest emergency room is located [when abroad]

September 30, 2015October 2, 2015 CulturiouslyAustralia

Last night was anything but fun. I got sick so fast that I did not even have time to think where to go or what to do once I had decided I needed help. Ironically, we live right across from a hospital, but when push came to shove not even that seemed to be much of a […]

What's the colour of your country?

What’s the colour of your country?

September 8, 2015September 16, 2015 CulturiouslyAustralia

I have recently moved to Melbourne, Australia. Another country, another continent. Didn’t I report that exact same thing in 2014? I did indeed! Not a new hair cut this time, but the clear-cut realisation that I am finally fulfilling my dream of living in this part of the world.

Writing my Travel Diaries

Finding “Me Time”: My time, my treasure

September 1, 2015October 2, 2015 CulturiouslyTravelations

I have recently realised that I have traveled to 45 countries. I have also just moved to Australia, where one of the first people I met told me to get (back) into writing.

Why I spend my money on travel

Why I spend most of my money on Travel

I better start off this article by saying that I am a special breed of human. I am the type who has her own opinion and has never been influenced much by what anybody else thought or did to become “popular”.
