Why I Had To Walk
byWhen a burn-out hit me a year ago, I decided to independently go on a long distance hike around the Canarian island of La Gomera to walk myself back to health.

The Greatest Movies About Love
byNo sugar coated romcoms, but intimate and gripping movies about real love. These are my favourite movies about love that everyone should see.
Harissa soup
byAn intense pink colour, creamy, sour, sweet and with a bite of aubergine and haloumi; this soup for me forms the perfect balance of taste and looks.
Back to the nineties
byIn many ways I am all for the conveniences of modern technology. But sometimes I think back with nostalgia to how it used to be growing up in the nineties. No smartphones, no Google, no You Tube, but instead a lot of personal contact, hanging out in the library and compact cassettes!
Still Alice
byStill Alice is an intriguing book about an intellectual woman who is diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease. The movie adaptation sadly disappoints.
Sticky tofu with broccoli
bySet aside your assumptions about tofu and try this delicious recipe for a crispy stir-fry in a spicy and sticky sauce. Simple, tasty and healthy; what more could you want?
The Quote: Dark Times
byThis beautiful song by Strand of Oaks stirs up a lot of emotions for me. The words written by Timothy Showalter help me convince that I am strong enough to conquer the darkness from my past.
Bloody good
byRaw, grim, ruthless and brutal; those are the words to perfectly describe British series Peaky Blinders about a gangster family in 1920’s Birmingham. These are definitely not the sophisticated aristocratic twenties that are portrayed in Downton Abbey. No, these are the real roaring twenties from the street.
Veggie Paella
byThe combination of garlic, smoked paprika and olive oil is what for me makes a perfect paella.
The Quote: Every Little Piece
byThese lyrics by British band Editors have become my personal creed that remind me of the fact that everyone in this world is connected.
Wallflower
byTurn an old fruit crate into a beautiful display for your favourite objects; succes guaranteed!
Coriander salsa
byA lovely fresh coriander dip with the sweet taste of cashews and a bite of cumin that works very well with bbq’s! But also very suitable on bread, as a snack on a cracker or as part of a Mexican meal. Whichever way addictively delicious!
