    Element Bali Ubud: Where To Stay In Ubud With Kids

    When we planned our vacation in Bali, Indonesia, I was torn between staying in Nusa Dua and Ubud because it seemed like both areas offered a lot to explore, to see, and experience. The town of Ubud is known for its vibrant culture, lush landscapes, and serene ambiance, so of course, we were going to go there… but should we stay there? In the end, we decided to split our time between the fabulous beachside Westin Resort Nusa Dua and Element Bali Ubud. Staying in both areas made for the perfect and family-friendly Bali itinerary that we were looking for. If you’re looking for a great hotel in Ubud that…

    Playing With Kids In Haarlem: Haarlemmer Kweektuin

    What’s one of the first things you do when you move to an area? For me, it’s walking. A lot of long walks to get the lay of the land and learn about my new area. On one such early walk in Haarlem-Noord, I happily found Haarlemmer Kweektuin, a fantastic park with playgrounds for kids, all of the natural scenery for me, and even some history too! If you’re looking for one of the best parks in Haarlem, it has to be Haarlemmer Kweektuin. This sprawling 4.2-hectare park sees 50,000 visitors annually and yet there’s always plenty of space when we’ve visited. This park in Haarlem blends recreation, education, and…

    There are some very cool museums in Haarlem, Netherlands and since we’ve been living here, we’ve been trying to visit them all. We stopped into the gorgeous and fun Teylers Museum and checked out the art at the Frans Hals Museum and then we found the Museum of the Mind. Sounds intriguing, doesn’t it? Also translated as Museum of the Spirit (Museum Van De Geest), this stop is a unique look into the human mind through art. The museum has an innovative approach to their exhibition which blends art, science, and history and because of that was named the Museum of the Year 2022. Get ready to find out about…

    Is There A Beach In Amsterdam? No, But Zandvoort Is The Closest

    When we first moved to the Netherlands and our Dutch friend drove us to the beach for a day on the coast, I realized I knew nothing about Dutch beaches. I had never even thought to look into beaches in Netherlands and didn’t realize they had such a beautiful seaside with gorgeously soft sand. Though there is not a beach in Amsterdam (well there are a few “urban beaches”), you can get out to the coast easily from Amsterdam Centraal Train Station in under an hour. If you’re visiting the Netherlands in the summer, I highly recommend spending a day on the coast. Even in the other seasons, the seaside…

    If you search “best high tea in London”, do you know how many options pop up?

Winner winner chicken dinner… er, cucumber sandwich lunch to be more accurate. Have just a short time in London but want to fit in all of the fun? Definitely consider…

    Step into a World of Whimsy: The Balloon Museum in London

    The Balloon Museum in London, England is said to be the city’s latest craze, a place where imagination takes flight amidst a sea of colors, shapes, and sizes. Is it art? Is it a kid’s cafe? The newest form of Chuck-e-Cheese? I wouldn’t say it’s a museum, but it is something colorful and fun. Coming from Seoul, Korea where everything is Instagrammable and art and culture collide continuously, anything that looks large, in charge, and whimsical is generally up our alley. So, we decided to check it out. Is it worth it? You be the judge. Planning to visit the Balloon Museum? Here’s what you should know: (This post contains…

    Criss-crossing the canals of Amsterdam in the Netherlands can provide all sorts of picturesque views and walks down beautiful city streets. Some more beautiful than others. If you find the right streets to walk down, you can be surrounded by aromatic flowers or cafes and restaurants. This past weekend as we were showing some friends around Amsterdam and walking from the Van Gogh Museum up to the Royal Palace Amsterdam, we stopped along the Bloemenmarkt.

After that she delved into Van Gogh’s work and was so inspired we continued to use his works as inspiration. After we moved to the Netherlands, the Van Gogh Museum was top on our things to do in Amsterdam list suffice to say. We’re not the only ones that seek to find this museum though of course. With over 200 paintings, 500 drawings, and 700 letters, alongside a collection of Japanese prints and a comprehensive library with more than 23,000 titles, the Van Gogh Museum offers an unparalleled look into…
