    • 5 Reasons Why I ❤️ Instagram so Much (as an Expat): ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ 👉🏻 I can always stay in touch with my home by following people from Russia ❤ I always know what the weather in Moscow and SPB is like! 👉🏻 IG makes meeting new people so much easier - Instameets and just finding new soulmates helps a lot when you're shy and you know no one 🙊 👉🏻 I learn a lot of new street names when I look up the geotags 💪🏻 👉🏻 Once you find local instagrammers you're never short for ideas of what to do or where to go! It's the best guidebook in the world! ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ Why do you love Instagram? ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ . . . #diewocheaufinstagram #living_netherlands #wonderlustamsterdam #ThisIsHolland #super_holland #bestofnetherlands #cameranu_nl #canonnederland #igersamsterdam #vscoamsterdam #topeuropephoto #dutch_connextion #holland_photolovers #holland_netherland #instanetherlands #loves_netherlands #just_features #awakethesoul #takemoreadventures #adventurevisuals #tinypeopleinbigplaces #bestplacestogo #travelmemories #vicivisuals #roamtheplanet #TheModerndayExplorer #weliveuphere #outside_project #gramthedam #sharewheretofindme
    • Had such a magical time yesterday in the #Efteling ❤️ Always feeling like a kid there! 😍 Thanks for this magical picture @niscovery 🙌🏻
    • This week marks a year since my move to #Amsterdam and I couldn’t be happier here. So much more to discover, so much more to learn. 💚 To celebrate, I filmed a YouTube video which is now live (link in bio) ☺️ more stuff to come soon!
    • Amsterdam always has flowers 💐😍
    • Let's talk about.... photography equipment. Photography is a damn expensive hobby and I do intend to acquire the following (someday 🤞🏻): 👉 Flexible Joby Tripod - these guys bend every which way and are perfect for taking pictures on the phone. I bought a knockoff from China but it didn't withstand my trials 😒 👉 Tilt Shift lens for my Canon - this one lets you blur out some things and focus on others, plus it's THE piece of equipment you need for taking architecture shots with straight pictures. No editing needed. 👉iPhone clip-on lens kit - it's amazing that I've managed to survive so long without one! 👉Gradient filters to capture the best sunsets without overexposing certain parts ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ What’s your hobby and what kind of wishlist does it come with? 👀
    • Got the Monday blues? No worries, my balloon will cheer you up 🎈 ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ I'm thinking of starting a notebook full of travel ideas and destinations that I'd love to visit. The idea isn't all that new and kind of inspired by the movie "Last Holiday" where the heroine collects pictures of all the things she'd like to do and keeps a scrapbook. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ What destination would you put in your scrapbook 😍 Japan in springtime? Castle Neuschwanstein? The geysers of Iceland?
