Second week in Antwerp

Eva — Tue, 17 Jul 2018 17:48:39 +0000

Last Updated on July 24, 2018 It’s my second week in Antwerp and nothing is going according to plan. The main culprit is the weather. Based on my previous visits that had both taken place in August, I came prepared for heavy rain and wind. Instead, we’re slouching through the hottest temperatures in 100 years. As you can imagine, heat is not conducive to exploring the city.

First week in Antwerp

Eva — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 16:48:35 +0000

Last Updated on July 17, 2022 I arrived to Antwerp last week. I’m happy to finally have the opportunity to be here for a bit longer, but it did take a few days getting used to my new surroundings. I find this always to be the case with digital nomad trips. Where will I grab breakfast in the morning? Which corner in the apartment is the most comfortable for working? How do I get around the city?

Eva — Tue, 26 Jun 2018 21:01:25 +0000

Last Updated on June 27, 2018 After two months at home that went by in the blink of an eye, I’m looking forward to spending July in Antwerp, Belgium, and August in Tallinn, Estonia. As usual when on the road, my schedule will be working from home during the day and exploring the city in the afternoon. Both cities have been on my digital nomad bucket list for a while, but the final decision...

Last Updated on June 16, 2018 The State Hall of the Austrian National Library (Prunksaal) has been exceeding book lovers’ expectations for almost 300 years. Located in the Hofburg Palace, this baroque gem was once the imperial court’s library. Today the State Hall is also open to commoners – in fact it’s one of Vienna’s most popular tourist attractions!

La Mouzaia: the charming Paris neighborhood you won’t want to tell anyone about

Eva — Sun, 10 Jun 2018 21:31:52 +0000

Last Updated on February 10, 2019 Paris is one of Europe’s most modern and fast-paced cities, so its patches of countryside are an unusual feature. The most famous is Montmartre, which even has a vineyard. Another neighborhood slash village, but much less known, is La Mouzaia in the 19th district near the popular Buttes-Chaumont park. La Mouzaia is said to be a secret not only to tourists...

Thirsty in Budapest? Try these delightful lemonades

Last Updated on June 17, 2018 When I arrived to Budapest at the beginning of April, it was 11 degrees C. My Airbnb host Tamás showed me the air conditioner in the apartment, but we laughed at the idea of using it. I was sure I’d be long gone before scorching heat arrived to Budapest. Two weeks later the temperature spiked to 28 degrees C. My laptop was overheating. I texted Tamás to ask how...

Budapest first impressions: dirty, wild and magical city

Eva — Sat, 07 Apr 2018 15:20:31 +0000

Last Updated on June 26, 2018 After two months in Vienna, I arrived to Budapest on Easter Sunday. I had originally planned to stay in Vienna for three months. But I got burned with both apartments I’d rented there and didn’t feel like trying my luck the third time. It was still a month until I was supposed to be back home in Ljubljana, so I decided to head to a new city. Prague was my first...

Kuishimbo: enjoy tasty Japanese home cuisine in Vienna

Eva — Sat, 17 Mar 2018 18:05:56 +0000

Last Updated on February 10, 2019 In 2008 in NYC, my film school friend Keiko took me to a hole in the wall Japanese restaurant known among the Japanese in the city as delicious and authentic. Keiko was on a mission to teach me how to use chopsticks like a well-mannered individual. This caused me embarrassment (#gaijin), but also spared me even more embarrassment in the long run.

Discover Klimt’s fascinating early works at Kunsthistorisches Museum

Last Updated on March 15, 2018 A visit to any souvenir shop in Vienna’s first district will confirm that Gustav Klimt’s masterpiece The Kiss has been printed on every object under the sun, from umbrellas to paper tissues (and perhaps toilet paper). Even if you never make it to Belvedere Museum which has The Kiss, the painting is everywhere you look. So you can imagine what a breath of...
