Hello! In the old days this post at the top of my LiveJournal & Dreamwidth would be called the "comment-to-be-added-post", these days it's a sticky post; I make a new one every year:)
My journal is not locked; you are welcome to read all my posts. I am a hermit, but I do like to interact here with fellow fangirls or passers-by and I encourage you to comment on any of my posts at any time. (I especially love responses to my artposts; it's NEVER too late to tell me what you think of those *grins*)

If you find my journal's dark background hard on the eyes:
  • you can watch any page on LJ and DW in your own journal's style by adding ?style=mine behind the url.
  • or if you add ?format=light, you get the standard lay-out with the white background.
  • (If the url already contains a questionmark, use an ampersand (&) instead:)

  • Also: I made a step-by-step post on how to back-up your LJ [DW]

    Despite my occasional use of harsh language and posts about sensitive or personal subjects, I chose to not put an age warning on my journal. I will not censor what I choose to share online. I'm a green left voting atheist woman, HEAR ME ROAR!

    I was an active participant in several fandoms, as a moderator and artwork creator; there are links in my sidebar if you want to explore any of the fancommunities I played in:)
    If you're curious about my creations, you can check my Artmasterlists, that are also on top of my LJ & DW. I made so many fanworks over the years, I had to split the list in two:
    Artmasterlist 2010-2018 [DW] | Artmasterlist 2019 and beyond [DW])

    To remind myself there is more to life than being online,
    I keep my booklist at the top of my LJ. That's ironic, Alanis.

    Wahey, I spent another week working in England with my favorite international colleague G.! Got a lot done AND had an afternoon off to visit a new town. Instead of spending my free time in London, I opted to go to Kingston-upon-Thames, when I found out the shopping I had planned to do, could also be done there, and would be more relaxing with bonus new sights on top :-D.
    But work came first of course! I traveled to England with the Eurostar from Rotterdam on Sunday, then G. and I worked at his office from Monday to Wednesday. Because he had to take care of family stuff on the Thursday and Friday, I worked from my hotel instead. I usually only work half a day on Friday, but I flipped that around, and I took my free time on Thursday to go exploring in the afternoon.
    Lots of photos of food, but also of all the cool things I discovered in Kingston-upon-Thames, where I had a lovely time walking along the River and through town. I even found an art-route with glorious bronze sculptures by Gillie & Marc from their series for Wild About Wildlife. Check it out:

    As I had used a lot of vacationdays in March & April with the personal time I added to my worktrip to Australia, I only had a week of official Summervacation left. (No worries though, my job comes with a lot of overtime to keep filling my stack of vacationdays until the end of the year;). For August I picked a destination in my own country that has been on my wishlist for years. I wanted to visit the triple border point in the South, that connects the Netherlands with Belgium and Germany. I chose a fancy hotel just across the German border in Aachen (aka Aken / Aix-la-Chapelle) and from there I went on day-trips to all three countries:-) I even got to practise my German and French (although I usually fall back on English when I travel outside of the Netherlands)
    As per usual I took a ton of photos, enjoy the picspam!

    ( Day 1: Trains from the Netherlands (NLD) to Germany (DEU): Aachen Cathedral )

    ( Day 2: Hiking in Germany (DEU), the Netherlands (NLD) & Belgium (BEL): Triple border point! )

    ( Day 3: Old Steamtrain through the hills of Limburg (NLD) )

    ( Day 4: Riverboat from Belgium (BEL) to the Netherlands (NLD) )

    ( Day 5: Open air Swimmingpool (NLD) )

    Yeah, that was a pretty good summervacation :-)

    After the long work- and traveltrip in Australia (All the links to those picspams here), I'm still trying to catch up in my blog and journals and I've reached July! That's when my GBR colleague G. came over to work in the Netherlands for a couple of days. I wanted to share some photos of the wonderful touristy walks and cycling we did in the sunny summerevenings.

    YES! Finally made it through all my Australia photos from my worktrip in March and my travels in April. Here is the final picspam of that last week in Perth! My previous photoreport [LJ] ended halfway, after I had just visited the Boola Bardip Museum.
    The pictures below start with me walking back to the city centre station to catch a bus to get to the Heirisson Island Kangaroo Sanctuary, a beautiful, peaceful island in the middle of the Swan river. I timed to get there just before sunset, so the kangaroos would be awake. I also thouroughly enjoyed the views from the small wetland area and the very cool Boorloo pedestrian/bicycle bridge.

    My final day in Perth was spent fangirling with old CSI fandom friend [livejournal.com profile] kennsea, whom I last saw on my 2013/2014 trip [LJ] to Australia.
    On my way back home I had a short stop-over in Singapore Airport and visited the Jewel Rain Vortex Waterfall, a wonderful finale of my travels Down Under.

    This will be the penultimate picspam of my worktrip to Australia. I had added a week of personal time after the meetingdays and workshop in March to travel to Perth in April (See all the travelposts linked below). After a weekend there, I flew to Kalgoorlie in the middle of the desert, to visit the large open gold mine there: The Super Pit! I had only seen it briefly and from afar at night, back in 2013 when I did my big trainride from West to East, and it was on my wishlist to see it in the daylight (I also hoped to finally get my hatpin souvenir, that I couldn't get back then because the shop had been closed at midnight).
    There's not much else to explore in Kalgoorlie, but I made the most of my day there.
    Then I took the train back to Perth, which was a 6+ hours journey and wasn't as fancy as the Indian Pacific train from 13 years ago, but oh my gosh the views in the desert were still amazing. (I LOVE TRAINS, OKAY)
    I still had two more days in Perth, I made so many photos there, I had to end this post after the half day I spent at the museum.
    This week truely felt like a three week vacation, I saw so much and it was very relaxed most of the time! (Well, I still get travelstress when having to catch a train or plane, but that was also worth it;-)

    In March and April I went on a businesstrip to Australia. Before work I spent a day in Sydney with my brother and his family who live in New South Wales, then I had a weeklong meeting followed by a 4-day workshop in Victoria (with a weekend in between where I met up with a fandomfriend in Melbourne and did touristy stuff:-).

    When work was done, I flew to Western Australia for a week of old fashioned traveling around on my own. (The big difference with my backpacking days Down Under being that I now stay in hotels instead of hostels;)
    I managed to see and do so much each day, that I had to split my vacationreport into several parts. Here's the first picspam; exploring Perth and a daytrip to Rottnest Island, where I got to see quokkas!

    Little over a month ago I came back from my businesstrip and additional travel in Australia. I meant to follow up my first picspam sooner, but as per usual I got distracted by work (and fandom! I'm currently crazy about Heated Rivalry and there is a lot of meta out there to enjoy :-p)

    Anyway, here I finally am again to continue with my travelreport! During the workweeks I mostly only make pictures of food, but there was also an evening we went looking for bats and an afternoon on a sightseeing train. In the weekend in between I traveled to Melbourne to meet up with fellow SPN fangirl [personal profile] majestic_duxk and on the Sunday I went on a boat tour with other delegates, so there are plenty of touristy photos as well :-D

    Oh and on day two I got to wear my raincape for the first and last time this trip! There were a couple more days with rain (and even one massive thunderstorm), but I was indoors then. Overall the weather in Victoria was dry and a lot cooler than I expected, often low 20s Celcius.

    A week and a half ago I returned from an extended businesstrip to Australia; I added some personal time before and after the two week international meeting. I made over 2500 photos while traveling through New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia, so there will be several picspams over the next month(s) ;-) This is week 1 of my trip.

    I first flew to Sydney where I walked around for a day trying to stay awake to fight the jetlag and I spent a day with my brother and family.
    The weekend before work I went to an Australian Rules Football game in Melbourne and visited an underground gold mine, both together with a bunch of colleagues from all over the world.

    Hello y'all,

    I'm back from an extra long businesstrip to Australia! It was two weeks of work and I added a week and a half of personal time because it was an opportunity to visit family and friends. Once I've sorted out my photos, there will be many picspams, you have been warned :-D

    Last week I went on an international worktrip to Zadar in Croatia, a country I never visited before. When I was traveling Europe back in the 1990s, Croatia was still part of Yugoslavia and that whole area was in the middle of a civil war. (Croatia declared independence in 1991 and the last occupied areas were restored in 1995).

    My Dutch colleagues and I flew into big city Split and from there drove to Zadar, which is about 170 km to the North. On the way we stopped at Vransko Jezero (Lake Vrana), a nature reserve, where we spent the late afternoon bird-watching before driving on to our hotel.
    On Sunday I explored the old city centre of Zadar with my British colleagues and we caught the ferry across the Zadarski Kanal to climb to a viewpoint in Preko, on the Ugljan Island. Back in Zadar we saw one of the most amazing sunsets EVER.

    The conference took up most of the time from Monday to Friday and it was dark early, but I did manage glimpses of a few more of the famous sunsets. During the week I had to present quite a few briefs. I had a side meeting with the delegate from Sweden on Monday evening, but on Tuesday evening we all got to go into town for a guided walking tour in the dark. On Wednesday I swam in the -very cold- seawater pool, just before the fancy hosted dinner. Best thing on Thursday was the green apple icecream I had for dessert. On Friday I went to a supermarket, that's always exciting in another country ;-).

    After a very fruitful week we traveled back home on Saturday, with a short stop at the Krka river viewpoint for a final goodbye of Croatia.
    I made tons of photos, here's a selection (check out the sunsets!!!).

    ( Day 1: Travelday(s) from the Netherlands to Croatia )

    ( Day 2: Exploring Zadar and the ferry to Preko )

    ( Day 3-7: Workweek breakfasts, lunches, and dinners )

    In my second week of Summervacation (about a month after my first), I traveled to Germany for a few days. First to Wuppertal, where I wanted to ride the Schwebebahn, the oldest electric elevated railway with hanging cars in the world, built between 1897 and 1903. On my way back I planned a stop in Duisburg to climb Tiger & Turtle, an art installation rollercoaster staircase! In between I spent time reading on the train and in the bath. I also visited a sculpture park. Of course I made a ton of photos (about 800), here is a selection to share all the views from up high :-)

    ( Day 1: Traintravel to Wuppertal )

    A travelpost unrelated to work! I scheduled two separate weeks for my summervacation. For my week in July, I wanted to travel to Spijkenisse in the South-West of the Netherlands, to visit The Bridges of Europe, an applied arts project by Robin Stam (2011-2013) who actually built the non-existing bridges that are featured on the backsides of Euro banknotes. When I checked out if there was anything else worth visiting nearby, I found a watertowerhotel in Dordrecht (the oldest city in Holland, 1120) from where I could explore wetland area The Biesbosch, that was also on my wishlist!
    I had a lovely couple of days; I read on the train, cycled around on my rented bike, went on ferries and boattrips, and was spoiled with views and bubblebaths. On my way back I stopped in 's Hertogenbosch, birthplace of 14th century artist Hieronymus Bosch (aka Jheronimus or Jeroen), so I got some culture in as well. Here is a massive picspam of all the things.

    ( Day 1: Eurobridges in Spijkenisse & Cycling in Dordrecht )

    ( Day 2: Whisperboat through the Biesbosch wetland )

    ( Day 3: Bubbelbaths, more cycling & Walking through the wetlands )

    ( Day 4: Art & Food in 's Hertogenbosch (Hieronymus Bosch & Bosche Bollen!) )

    The End; for now it's back to work (But there will be another summervacationweek in September:-)

    In my previous posts about this businesstrip to Abu Dhabi in April I already showed some glimpses of the food I enjoyed over there. I didn't even get to try all the delicious things that were served, because it was a LOT! There were massive fancy buffets for breakfast and dinner in the Al Rimal restaurant of the hotel, lunch was served at the conference hall and that buffet was just as enormous. There was so much food on offer, there were even platters full of pretty bites during the morning and afternoon breaks. I was spoiled for choice!
    This picspam includes photos of my filled plates, once or twice I started munching before I took a picture, so there are some half full plates as well :-D I often went for seconds (and yes, that means extra dessert(s) too). I was surprised with some treats in my room, and below I included dinner at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam (did not eat my greens). The midnight meal on the plane there is missing, because I was eating that while half asleep. I did save the passionfruit cheesecake dessert and had that for breakfast upon arrival at around 7 a.m. ;-)

    There are over 100 photos, so I didn't add any comments, the hover-over text shows the date and time of each meal. Enjoy!
