We've been quiet on the blog for a while and we have a tiny reason for it. Our traveling tribe got a bit bigger in late September with the arrival of our daughter Larissa. And in traditional travel family style she took her first trip at 4 weeks old to the Netherlands at Hof Van …

What should you look for in your baby-moon holiday? For us, it was a balanced mix between discovering a new place and relaxing. Depending on where you are in your pregnancy and how you feel, you can emphasise more one of the two components. For example, you can read about our first baby moon in …
