In other words, where do you REALLY want to go again?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I would like to go to Japan, it seems like such an interesting country. A little closer, Bolivia is very high on my wish list; it won&#8217;t be long before a visit. After my trip in Cura\u00e7ao, I would also really like to explore the rest of the Antilles. I also want to go to Vietnam, Cambodia, Canada and New Zealand. And actually to many more countries: the world is so beautiful!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What is your most perfect vacation? (beach vacation, shopping trip, cultural vacation, etc.)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If I don&#8217;t like anything it&#8217;s beach holidays. All that sand, swimming in the sea&#8230;. brrr. Lying in the sun does not make me very happy either. A day is still manageable by the way. I especially like variety and discovering more unknown places of a country. Doing things just a little differently than usual. In other words, off the beaten path. Creating my own travel path. Most of all, I enjoy being in nature, beautiful towns, colorful markets or natural wonders. If I want to rest I&#8217;d rather do it on a bench on a mountain than at the beach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While traveling, I do like a challenge and I like to learn about the culture and what it is really like in a country, how people are and live. Especially places that are not obvious to go I find immensely interesting. My parents were not always happy about that, by the way, especially when I traveled to Ghana, Israel, Palestinian Territories, Kosovo and to Colombia for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What place did you find so special that you would like to go back?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I don&#8217;t have often that I really want to go back to a place. Still, there are some places in this beautiful world that have stolen my heart. Like the enchanting <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/category\/greece\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Greece<\/a><\/strong> and Austria, so much beauty nearby. Or well: no nearby anymore. I also found the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/orca-in-norway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lofoten<\/a><\/strong>, the North Cape and the Azores<strong> <\/strong>So special that hopefully you will find me there again. In addition, Portugal stole my heart. I might even live there&#8230; So I will definitely go there again. Like to Cura\u00e7ao. Even if it&#8217;s just to be in a more Dutch environment for a while.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-31422 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_20160412_042247.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_20160412_042247.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_20160412_042247-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_20160412_042247-744x496.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_20160412_042247-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_20160412_042247-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_20160412_042247-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Have you ever been sent to a nice destination for work?

I take some DIY books and make our new interior out of branches and tree trunks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also, the camera goes with me to show everything to you later. In my bag I also put a lot of chargers, preferably solar powered, lots of anti-mosquito repellent, dozens of tubes of sunscreen, those water shoes for walking in the sea, a travel towel and a couple of bikinis. What also seems useful to me is a book on what to eat and what not to eat on a desert island. After all, I don&#8217;t want to be poisoned by some grape.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Oh yeah, and a book about how to get off a desert island as soon as possible, just in case.

A ski vacation is fun, but without skiing. Once I had a winter hiking vacation in Austria where I walked miles by myself over those beautiful white-snowy mountains. That was really great!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What is your fondest vacation memory?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are so many, I really can&#8217;t choose from them. So let me mention a few.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">First, <strong>traveling alone through Greece<\/strong> has given me many great memories. On the third day at Mount Olympus, I met an Austrian who was making a motorcycle trip by himself. He asked if I wanted to ride on the back, and so we tore through the Greek mountains together for a day. Felt special, wonderful and exciting at the same time. I always said: I never get on a motorcycle. And so you see: never say never. There in Greece, I was enchanted by the beauty of the country and the euphoria of traveling alone, and then this just happened. The wind through my hair, the beautiful views: it was fantastic!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I also loved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/travel-guide-curacao\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>traveling alone to Curacao<\/strong><\/a>. I will never forget it. Exploring the island in my own way, a way that hardly anyone sticks to. I did not spend a second at the beach: who would have thought that you can have an active vacation in Cura\u00e7ao?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I also have great memories of Seville, Hong Kong, New York and Argentina. And actually so much more&#8230; You create your own happiness while traveling, so if all goes well, almost all your vacation memories are fun \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-31422 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Griekenland-op-de-motor.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Been there, done that: Greece on a motorcycle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Griekenland-op-de-motor.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Griekenland-op-de-motor-420x315.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Griekenland-op-de-motor-744x558.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Griekenland-op-de-motor-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Griekenland-op-de-motor-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/h3>\n<hr>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What is your least fun vacation memory?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Two days on an IV in a filthy hospital in Ghana was not much fun. Softly spoken. I also had major cockroach fights in Malaysia and Ghana, among other places, that I could have been spared from. Did you know those animals can also fly? And not to forget that time I went on a desert trek through Jordan&#8217;s Wadi Rum on a camel. Very beautiful and fun, but trust me: you don&#8217;t want to spend two days sitting on a camel in 40 degrees under the burning sun. I got sick from the heat (to the point of vomiting) and after two days I felt like my butt was covered in blisters.
