Yangon was one of my favourite layovers last year.

Yangon was one of my favourite layovers last year. 🇲🇲 I was lucky enough to get a 54 hour stay there after an only 4.5 hour flight. The most beautiful thing I saw during those days was the Shwedagon Pagoda, a 112 meter tall golden pagoda in the center if Yangon, the capital of Myanmar. It was extremely hot as I was visiting in the morning (not early enough to beat the heat), but nevertheless I spent almost two hours there. One of the two hours I hired a local tour guide in order to learn more about the history of the pagoda. Who would ever imagine that the crown of the pagoda is decorated with over five thousand diamonds?!

Can you spot Christ the Redeemer? 🇧🇷 Of all

Can you spot Christ the Redeemer? 🇧🇷 Of all the layovers I did, the four days I spent in Rio were definitely the most memorising. There’s just something about this city that makes you want to come back. This is the sunset from the famous Sugarlof Mountain.

While the skyline might have changed with a whole

While the skyline might have changed with a whole bunch of new buildings in Xinyi district, the icon of the skyline itself won’t ever change: Taipei 101. I came to this spot countless times to watch the sunset, and can’t wait to go again!

Can we talk about Taiwan for a minute? It’s amaz

Can we talk about Taiwan for a minute? It’s amazing how fast Taiwan responded to the covid19 outbreak. With a population of roughly 23 million people as of today Taiwan has 441 cases confirmed only. Compare that to where I’m from, the Netherlands, which has over x 100 times more cases on a population of 17 million people.

This picture was taken high up in the mountains in Hehuanshan, during a road trip on the cross island highway. It has already been awhile since I was living and studying Mandarin in Taiwan, but I haven’t forgotten about the beauty of this island and I’m proud of their successful approach in these difficult times. 🇹🇼
