Deventer: A Charming Escape with Small-Town Heart. Deventer is a city that captures your heart with its charm. It's not a metropolis, but that small-town feel is precisely what gives Deventer its unique character. In recent years, the city has been buzzing with a growing selection of shops and restaurants and small little niche stores! One of my favorite things to do in Deventer is to visit the bustling Saturday market. It's a feast for the senses, with local vendors offering everything from f

I've been here two years, and I can tell you costs aren't as high as reported here - unless you're traveling during the summer months. Any other time of the year, you can find a decent apartment for a decent price (~€800/mo) and take advantage of low cost of living. Has plenty of hikes around, ideal if you have a vehicle. Bicycle culture is pretty established, but not a lot of bike lanes sadly. Sun & Co is focal point of nomad community, but there are plenty of slowmads or ex-nomads who have s

I am here since January 2024 - almost 4 month now, and it is the best place I´ve ever been to - and that means a lot! Cons: Do not hike on your own .- thats ways too dagerous. I highly reommend to hire a car and still take an uber at night. Pros: There is plenty of wonderful things to do, you will meet lovely, openminded people, the locals are great company and will make you feel as if you belong to them. My Internet is supersafe (I am currently in Seapoint in an Air B&B), the food is fantasti

I have lived in Las Palmas for 2 years. It is a great place to live but sadly changing. The climate is just about always perfct (if you don't mind clouds from now and then). You are close to nature and I would say it is one of the most spectacular islands in the world (I traveled to about 140 countrys worldwide). You will be surprised to see how much the island can offer. I still find new trails and places to discover. However! Sadly the island is changing. First of all, accomidation is getting

New York is cool. I’ve visited multiple times to see my family throughout my life, and recently came back from my first post-COVID trip there. Yes, it’s very expensive — but there is no city on earth that’s more captivating in my opinion. I used to think that New Yorkers were smug by claiming that NYC was better than everywhere else, but now I totally get it lol. My personal favourite neighbourhood is the Upper East Side, which is where you’ll find the coveted Museum Mile. But I also

I've spent the past four months living in Quito, and to be honest, I've decided that I won't be returning to this country again. My experience here has been incredibly frustrating, especially when dealing with the average Ecuadorian citizens. For instance, when you go to a store and ask for a specific item, you often end up with something entirely different. Additionally, using Uber has its challenges, as many drivers keep their phones in their laps, constantly glancing down at the GPS instead o

“Don’t take your phone out” is some outdated advice… there are several people on the streets and in the metro using phones and taking pictures. Remember that nothing stays the same forever. Rio is safer than many people describe. Use your common sense.
