2020 is dedicated to one of the most famous Belgian artists, Jan van Eyck. And, the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent organised the most significant exhibition ever about that artist.
Unfortunately, we can’t visit it in a moment. That’s why I’m taking you to a virtual museum visit to Jan van Eyck’s and An Optical Revolution exhibition at MSK in Ghent.
Claude Monet is a French painter born in 1840. He started drawing while still in school, first by creating some caricatures of his teachers. Although his father wanted him to get involved in the family business, he was always more interested in art. He decided to pursue that and went to Paris to learn how to paint. There, he met a group of young painters with whom he started to develop a new, and one of the first modern art styles – the Impressionism.

Due to our forced home staycations, I decided to start a little project and take you to a different museum each day. We’ll start with a virtual museum visit to the Rijksmuseum and their collection of paintings created by Johannes Vermeer. And, of course, since we should #stayhome, we’re going to do that virtually.

I love to travel. I actually like it so much I created a profession out of it for myself. However, with the COVID-19 outbreak, now it’s not the time to travel. Most of us are in some kind of quarantine or self-isolation in a moment. But, to both stay safe and SANE, it’s nice to create some fun to yourself out of your forced staycation at home. To help you out with that I’ve created a guide with ten tips on how to feel like you’re travelling when you’re not.
If you’re following my blog for some time already, then you may have read I’m moving to Canada next month. Well, I’m all excited about that. But, am also a bit sad not to have some of my dear friends and family members around me anymore. Since I hope they’ll visit me, I did a bit of research on what are the visa procedures and who needs an eTA for Canada. And have written this guide for all of you planning to visit that beautiful country. Who needs an eTA for Canada? This blog post is sponsored by e-visa.co.uk. Check…
Ghent is a beautiful Belgian town with an amazing old medieval architecture that looks like it hasn’t changed for centuries. However, it’s not a city-museum, but a very lively town, filled with many small cafes, restaurants and some great shops. Because of that fantastic mix, Ghent is definitely one of my favourite Belgian towns. I visited it a few times already and thought it’s finally time to create this weekend guide to Ghent with some fun things to do during your 48 hours in Ghent.
I have some big news to share with you guys. I’m moving to Canada!
