I lived in Friesland, an autonomous region in the Netherlands, located in the North of the country. After about 3 hours in train from Amsterdam you will reach Leeuwarden . This vibrant city was the European Cultural Capital in 2018. If you are looking for a less crowded city, Leeuwarden will be a great stop. It is well linked with many cities worth to visit, but also easy to access from other more popular Dutch destinations. Take a walk in the park, visit it by boat, and wonder at its "Pisa tower" - Oldehove, a leaning tower situated nearby the park. You have a great view from the top. If you ever find yourself in Friesland, go to the port town of Harlingen . You will find no tourist around. You can grab a coffee by the beach, or even go swimming during the warm days.

And my top favourite places I've visited in Hellas: Thessaloniki and Rhodes. I will give you some recommendations of day trips you can do and  some must-see places.  https:...

Now, I decided to tell you more about myself, and to take you back with me to the places I've been and I truly recommend. I decided to start with my favourite place, Madeira, also known as the Land of Eternal Spring.  It has been a long-cherished dream of mine to visit this island. Few years back, I finally got my family to go with me for my mom's birthday. I knew I would love it from the first glimpse through the small airplane window. All covered in luxuriant greenery, aggressively hit by the ocean waves, rising to the sky this volcanic island won a special place in my heart. So let me tell you a bit about what you can do and see in Madeira. I am sure you will fall for it too.  I would recommend if ...
