Paris
On the way back from Italy, we needed to go via Paris for an admin issue. During the 2024 Olympics … 😱 We were prepared for the worst, but it was actually the calmest we’d ever seen the city. It seemed that everyone avoided the city unless they were planning to see the Olympics. After…

Ventimiglia & Monaco
Next to spending time with my family in Belgium and France, we also wanted to have some time as a small family unit. We drove to the first town in Italy: Ventimiglia. There, we mostly spent time at the beach. Mila and I also explored the old town together. Since neither of us had been…

Mâcon & Pierrelongue
A few months ago, we were in Europe for a bit. We spent about a month in Ypres, but my favourite part was a camping trip with my parents, and two of my siblings and their families. Because of the long drive and not knowing how Luca would handle it, we stopped in Mâcon, a…

Ypres
From about 6 years of age, I’ve lived in and around Ypres, a small city in Belgium that was important in the Middle Ages due to its cloth industry. This is evidenced in having a cathedral—a church that hosts a bishop—and its massive town square, the Cloth Halls, belfry, and city hall. During the First…

Frankfurt
In March, I went on my first business trip since Barcelona (almost a year before). Like the last time, I met with the senior leadership team of our support division. We met in Frankfurt, a city I had never been to before. While it was a dense time of working, I also found some time…

Barcelona
In March of this year, I went to Barcelona for a work trip. I had been twice before on a youth camp, once as participant and one as leader. It was nice to revisit the city with more freedom (and more money). We stayed in Eixample, just of Rambla de Catalunya. This meant that we…

Leuven and Brussels
We’ve just come back from several weeks in Europe. Mila’s godmother and her partner came down to Leuven for the weekend, and we spent some time in the city where Kim and I met. Next to that, we also sneaked in a quick trip to Brussels. Here are some pics of those trips. In Leuven,…

Vienna
When I was last in Vienna, I watched my first-ever Automattic Town Hall: an online meeting with the whole company. This was a few weeks before Automattic’s acquisition of WooThemes was publicly announced. We also were provided access to our internal tools in that week, and I found a few of my new colleagues on…

New York City
In the last week of September, I had a meetup in New York City. Even though I was there only for about 70 hours, most of which I was hanging out with my colleagues, I wanted to explore this iconic city to the fullest. Given that my time zone is six hours ahead, I decided…

Antwerp
Between May and August, we spent about 3-4 weeks in Antwerp, but only on the very last Sunday, we took time for a tourist stroll as a family. We had been to Antwerp in previous years, so wanted to explore some newer parts which we found in Linkeroever. On the way over, we used the…

Geneva and Clairvaux-Les-Lacs
After our camping trip, we wanted to break up the drive home. We found out my sister was staying near the Swiss Alps, so decided to drive through Geneva to Clairvaux-Les-Lacs. Next to strolling around the city and having some fondue, we enjoyed a refreshing dive in the lake.
