Admittedly, I would love to live there, I already said that when I was there and left. Could work there, in Hospitality, have your own bar or simply as a Digital Nomad. Not that I want to invite everyone to come at the same time, because then it will be too busy. Opatija is simply a beautiful place, a step back in history. A time when it was one of the most famous seaside resorts in Europe. Don't forget The Lungomare, it is an enchanting seafront promenade that stretches along the coast of Kvarner Bay. I enjoyed it more than anything, close to Rijeka, and you can easily reach the province of Istria. Opatija is simply wonderful.

The region of Tuscany has so much to offer that I could write a blog every week about this beautiful part of Italy. However, what I remember most the first time was the walled fortress town of Lucca. And yes, I have been there and can recommend making it part of your event or incentive.

One of those special places I went; was the Blackfriars Restaurant in Newcastle. The Restaurant is located in a former 13th-century refectory, believed to be the oldest dining room in the UK.  Within the complex, there is also a Cookery School, Tasting Room, Meeting Room, Banquet Hall, King’s Suite and Cloister Garden where you can enjoy a host of dining options and events.

Nymfaio is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited in my life. There are more such places I have seen with my own eyes. When we were on a FAM trip with Joysters, they brought us there. We had tea, a tour around the village and we we went to Arcturos. To much pictures and words about this special place are indeed a spoiler alert. Go see it yourself!

Hamburg is one of the nicest and most surprising cities in Germany. The city is known as a rough port city, but it is precisely the water that makes the city so charming. There are museums on ships and in old warehouses and Hamburg has great neighborhoods to discover. So put the city on your list.

For a large part of my life I lived on the island of Terschelling, where I worked in hospitality. Bars, restaurants and hotels. I had the time of my life there, worked hard and enjoyed everything that came my way. What I hardly ever talk about is nature. It is rough, windy and unpredictable. Beautifully sunny, but also not or almost never too hot.

Dear directors, managers, board of directors and management teams. Do you think about your meetings next year, your MICE events (Meeting Incentive Congress/Convention Event)? Set goals in advance, work with professionals and think about that important meeting, incentive or event? Can it be done elsewhere too? What would you like? Where to go to?

The difference between MICE and Leisure clients is huge. They have different needs and travel patterns. The Leisure Industry is focused on recreation, entertainment, sports, and tourism. Business travel and MICE is more limited. Basically the attendees are working whilst travelling, The main difference between the two is wants versus necessity.

When you enter the city center of Den Bosch, you will find yourself in a historical setting. Medieval gabled houses, narrow streets and beautiful monuments.
