  • What’s the coolest station you’ve seen? 😁 🚇 There are some incredible stations around the world and when I saw a photo of this metro station in Brussels I definitely wanted to visit 😁 you pass through the station on the way to the Atomium so hop off if you get the chance 😁 ✨ Brussels is such an easy city to get around with their metro and tram system - everywhere is pretty easily accessible by metro, tram or bus! A day ticket for the public transport costs €7,50 and I think it’s the easiest way to explore the city, although the centre is also mega walkable too! ✨ This definitely has to be one of my favourite metro stations 🤔 Stockholm also has some epic stations and some of my favourite train stations are in Antwerp and Porto 😁 ✨ Also on a side note, stairs are a struggle today 🤣 my trainer gave me a new routine for the gym yesterday and stairs are killing me after that 😆 ✨ 📸 @theflyawaydad ✨ #TFGinBelgium #pannenhuis #metrostation #brussels🇧🇪 #belgium🇧🇪
  • Do you have a favourite country in Europe? ✨ I’m not sure if I have a favourite, but Belgium is definitely one of my favourites 😍 for such a tiny country, it really does have so much! ✨ Brussels was our last stop on our @eurostar trip [gifted] and what an amazing day it was!! While both me and @theflyawaydad have been to Brussels before, he hasn’t been in years and recently I’ve only been in winter! We were treated to gorgeously warm weather (too warm sometimes 😂) and were even lucky enough to be in the city during the four weeks of the year that the Royal Palace is open to the public!! ✨ Brussels is a great city to spend a day in (although if you have the time, two or three means you get to see even more!) and this would be my recommendation for the ideal day in Brussels: • breakfast at @the_sister_brussels_cafe for delicious waffles (including vegan/dairy free/gluten free ones!) • Palais Royal/Koninklijk Paleis (only open 23rd July - 25th August when the royal fam are on their summer hols) • Grand Place/Grote Markt • Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert/Koninklijke Sint-Hubertusgalerijen • Cathédrale des Saintes-Michel et Gudule/Sint-Michiels- en Sint-Goedele-Kathedraal (pictured 📸) • Mont des Arts/Kunstberg • Palais de Justice/Justitiepaleis (Monday to Friday only) • Lunch at @mortsubitefr 😋 • Dinner at @cafenovobrussels 🥘 • Drinks at @poechenellekelder and @moeder_lambic_fontainas 🍻 ✨ Don’t forget to save this if you plan on heading to Brussels any time soon 😉 ✨ My other fave thing about Belgium (aside from the architecture, people, beer, food... etc) is the train travel - it’s affordable, it’s comfortable and it’s so easy to get to most places! What else do you need?! ✨ Do you have a favourite destination in Europe? ✨ #TFGinBelgium #visitbrussels #belphenomenal #belgium🇧🇪 #nikoneurope #nikon_photo
  • MAKE IT HAPPEN. ✨ I haven’t really spoken about it on here or on my stories but the past week or so has been tough - I’ve been feeling like I’m in a total brain fog and unable to do anything. Zero interest to do things that would usually make me happy. Just completely exhausted, unmotivated, and struggling with my mental health in general. ✨ In a way, this makes me really glad I’m my own boss now. When I had a ‘normal’ job, I always struggled to explain to my boss why I couldn’t come in to work (or hadn’t). I usually settled for ‘I have a migraine’ or even saying I have food poisoning - anything but trying to explain that I was simply unable to get out of bed or leave the house. At least I don’t have to explain to my current boss (me). I know. ✨ However, there are other issues with being your own boss. For one, I find it very hard to forgive myself. I get so angry at myself for not being productive, for being ‘useless/not motivated enough/lazy’. I compare myself to other people on social media, to other bloggers I know and ones I don’t. ‘They’re not this useless and lazy. They get shit done.’ And that, of course, is not healthy. ✨ I’m starting to feel like some of my brain fog is clearing, hence why I’m actually feeling able to talk about this. I managed to publish a blog post and a YouTube video yesterday and am back to my regular gym routine. However, I still scrolled through Instagram and felt guilty for being less successful than people I saw on there. ✨ It’s tough not to compare yourself to others when you constantly see their ‘best’. We never know what’s going on behind it all - maybe they are struggling too. Or maybe they’re lucky enough to not deal with mental health struggles. We never know. ✨ Don’t compare yourself to others. None of them are amazing, beautiful, unique YOU. *saves this to read to herself later 😂* ✨ Also, Rotterdam has some really neat street art. Also, I’m out of practice with my ballet. Oh well 🤷🏻‍♀️ it was fun 😝 ✨ 📸 @theflyawaydad ✨ #TFGinHolland #mentalhealthblogger #rotterdamcity #walltraveled
  • Would you live in one of Rotterdam’s cube houses? 😁 ✨ Rotterdam is well known for its innovative, creative and sometimes just kinda weird and crazy architecture - the Cube Houses remain one of the city’s most eye-catching buildings and are a popular attraction to see when visiting the city! Designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom in the late 70s, these houses are bright yellow cubes tilted 45-degrees on their side. ✨ The Cube Houses are located in the #OudeHaven area of the city, or the ‘old port’. The houses even form a pedestrian bridge across one of the busiest roads heading into the centre! ✨ Each Cube House has three floors with a kitchen, living room, bathroom and two bedrooms. You can explore the ‘Show Cube’, which is a museum that lets visitors see what it would be like to live in a Cube House! One of the biggest challenges is apparently getting furniture for a house without straight walls 🤣 ✨ If you want to STAY in a Cube House... then that’s totally possible too! One of the larger cubes was converted in 2009 and is now a hostel. You can stay in the @stayokayrotterdam Cube and see what it would be like to live in one of these unique buildings! ✨ Rotterdam is a stop on the @eurostar route from London to Amsterdam, along with Lille and Brussels. We only spent a few hours in Rotterdam but I absolutely loved it and want to come back for longer! Near to the Cube Houses is the Markthal with lots of stalls selling a huge variety of food and drink. My other love about Rotterdam HAS to be their street art - this city has so many incredible murals! You can do a self-guided tour of the murals with the @rewriters010 app - I only visited some that caught my eye most as we were short on time so I’d love to see more next time. The other place we didn’t see because of lack of time (wah) was Delfshaven, a gorgeous old district that is famous for its Pilgrim history and the old architecture that, unlike much of Rotterdam, survived WW2 mostly unscathed. ✨ Who wants to come with me to Rotterdam next time? 😝 if you’ve been before, what were your favourite things to do in the city? ✨ #TFGinHolland #rotterdam_info #cubehouses #rottergram #architecture_best #architecture_lovers
  • A little highlight video from our recent trip to the Netherlands with @eurostar! Including half a day in Zaandam and Zaanse Schans, this is some of what we got up to. Have you been to Amsterdam?#TFGinAmsterdam #eurostar #amsterdamcity #visitholland
  • What attractions CAN’T you miss when you visit Amsterdam? 🇳🇱 SWIPE TO SEE THE BEFORE ➡️➡️ ✨ When in Amsterdam, you can’t miss out on a canal cruise. After walking the canals, it’s awesome to see them from the water! Definitely try and plan your canal cruise for sunset as you’ll be treating to stunning views like this 😍 thanks to this random cyclist for being in the right place at exactly the right time 😝 ✨ So, what else can’t you miss in Amsterdam? . FOR ART LOVERS 🖼: • Rijksmuseum - arrive early (9/9:30am) for enjoying the museum without too many other people • Van Gogh Museum • Beurspassage - an amazing arched passageway with spectacular mosaics! 🖼 FOR HISTORY LOVERS 📚 • Rijksmuseum • Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder - one of the ‘House churches’ from the time of the Dutch reformation • Het Papeneiland - ‘Papist’s Island’, a tradition bruin café (pub) serving delicious apple pie and they had a secret passageway to a hidden church, hence the name! • Oude Kerk and @koffieschenkerij - Amsterdam’s oldest parish church and a cafe inside! Located in the Red Light District. 📚 FOR BEER LOVERS 🍻 • Brouwerij De Prael - their vegan bitterballen are AMAZING and they do a beer tasting tray of 4 beers and a snack for €10 • Tap Zuid - so many options for beer and a lovely team • Heineken Experience - learn about how the beer went from being only known in Holland to worldwide fame! ✨ Of course, there’s SO MUCH MORE in Amsterdam so I’m writing a full guide to the ultimate Amsterdam itinerary - it’ll be finished soon 🤓 PS: can you spot the pride flag 🏳️‍🌈 in this shot? ✨ Have you done a canal cruise or a river cruise before? ✨ #TFGinAmsterdam #TFGinHolland #sunset_love #sunsets_oftheworld #sunset_today #canalcruise
  • Yes, hello, I’d like to go to Spain please 😃 which shot do you prefer - 1 or 2? ✨ Amsterdam is home to so much awesome architecture like the Zevenlandenhuizen (‘Seven Country Houses’) here 😍 on our trip to Amsterdam with @eurostar [gifted] I took @theflyawaydad to see these awesome houses as he hadn’t heard of them before. I found them thanks to Instagram and visited them on my last trip to the city - they’re so unique! ✨ So, what are the Seven Country Houses? 🏘 located on Roemer Visscherstraat on the edge of Vondelpark, these are seven houses designed by architect Tjeerd Kuipers and built in 1894. Each house is designed in a different style representative of a different country - this one is Spain (Spanje) and is in the style of a Moorish villa in Granada. I do think the Spanish house is my favourite! There is also: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England (Engeland) - a typical English cottage 🇳🇱 Netherlands (Nederland) - a Dutch Renaissance style house 🇷🇺 Russia (Rusland) - in the style of an Orthodox cathedral with an onion dome 🇮🇹 Italy (Italië) - in the style of an Italian palazzo 🇫🇷 France (Frankrijk) - in a style influenced by the castles of the Loire region 🇩🇪 Germany (Duitsland) - in the Romantic style with pointed arched windows ✨ I love finding unique architecture like this and Amsterdam is a haven for architecture lovers 😍 from impressive buildings like the Rijksmuseum and the Centraal station to the modern design of the NEMO Science Museum and, of course, the beautiful canal houses - there’s something for everyone! Don’t forget to go exploring and see what you find 🤓 ✨ Amsterdam is so easily accessible from London and Brussels - it’s only 4.5 hours from London St Pancras International to Amsterdam Centraal, right in the heart of the city! Combine it with a stay in Brussels as well, which is less than two hours from Amsterdam by train. ✨ Have you been to Amsterdam? ✨ #TFGinAmsterdam #TFGinHolland #spanje #journeysofgirls #damestravel #iamsterdam #eurostar
  • Do you prefer visiting museums or exploring outdoors instead? 🤔 ✨ Even though I’ve been to Amsterdam a bunch of times, this was my first time visiting the Rijksmuseum! I had wanted to see the library for a long time but never had the time to really make the most of a visit to the entire museum. Since the ticket is €19 (€20 if bought at the museum) I only wanted to go when I could really make the most of it 😁 ✨ Located on Museumplein (Museum Square), the Rijksmuseum was founded in 1800 in The Hague and moved to Amsterdam in 1808. The current building was designed by Dutch architecture Pierre Cuypers and opened in 1885 - it was then closed in 2003 and reopened in 2013 after a major renovation that cost €375 million 😱 the museum has a collection of 1 million objects (!!!) from the years 1200 to 2000, of which 8,000 are currently on display. Some of the most famous paintings in the museum are: • The Night Watch, Rembrandt Van Rijn - this painting is currently being scanned by a macro-XRF scanner which requires 56 scans which each take 24 hours! This is called ‘Operation Night Watch’ and the outcome of this research will be a treatment plan for the restoration of the painting. • The Milkmaid, Johannes Vermeer • Worship of the Golden Calf, Lucas van Leyden (an impressive triptych) • The Battle of Waterloo, Jan William Pieneman ✨ The Rijksmuseum is also a great place to visit if you’re into architecture as the Gallery of Honour, the Cuypers Library and the Great Hall are seriously impressive! ✨ I’m so glad I finally made it to the @rijksmuseum and it’s definitely a must do, especially if it’s raining 😝 do you prefer visiting museums or exploring a city outdoors? ✨ #TFGinAmsterdam #TFGinHolland #rijksmuseum #librariesofinstagram #librarydesign #eurostar
