We escaped city of the Hague for the second time to avoid the madness happening at the Kings Night and Kings Day here in the Netherlands.

As for a true beer lovers we went for the Lambic tour in Belgium. Maybe not totally my regret, because i had the best company with me, but speaking about beers… damn! Sour’s totally not my thing!

Enjoy the pictures, soon you will be able to see more on Mr. beerQuest’s YT channel.

Here out last year trip to Belgium.

This year we started in Tilburg at L⍜c Brewery. Amazing place with delicious craft beers.

Day 3. Saturday.

I have never experienced getting up early with such ease as I have being in NYC. For my entire life I was a midnight owl, but not here. All thanks go to jet lag 🙂

Today, I felt like I went back in time! My partner Mr. BeerQuest.TV dreamed of getting special craft beers from Brooklyn’s OH[Other Half Brewing]. We made plans for to go on this morning which meant standing in the line from 8 until 10am before opening. Like in good communistic times! Yaaay (sarcasm).

The whole experience was pretty interesting, I haven’t seen such a thing like this here in the Netherlands or maybe I have been a craft beer ignorant to pay not enough attention on that subject. Anyways! The line to the brewery wasn’t super long, there were maybe 20’ish guys trading beers, having cars full of beer cans. You could easily see some “old friendships” mostly dudes, no gals except 2 other than me. It wasn’t that difficult to communicate with the rest i just realized I’m totally not prepared for this kind of adventure! No folding chair, no touristic fridge full of craft beers to taste and trade it with new people at 8 at the morning. Next time more preparations will be done 🙂 And guys! Leaving home without breakfast and drinking these divine beers on empty stomach wasn’t smart either. Glad I’m Polish! [Inside joke hope u get it?]

ps. don’t be fooled by this sunny impression, it was November’s morning and it was pretty cold.

The rest u can see on pictures, I think I’m better with the images than with words. It was always like that. Aho!

Few shots from lovely Rotterdam. For those of you who’s never been here, Rotterdam is a different state of mind. A unique city in this small country. U will not be surprised why we called it “R’NYC” 😉

Ive had a chance to look at this city from different perspective, visited friend’s house with astounding view, and had a lovely gals night.

There is an expression in dutch ‘Huisje-boompje-beestje’ symbolizes leading a nice and quiet conventional family life. You have a nice house (‘huisje’), a garden (‘boompje’) and probably a pet (‘beestje’).

Like always, watch your dreams, because they are becoming the reality.

Personally, i think every place looks beautiful while covered by snow… Luckily in this weather condition, public transportation surprised me on being on time and being a warm place. And yeah, it took us only about 40min to get to Brooklyn [perfect connection].

Look what i have seen when i get from the underground – so many bicycles here, almost like in 2nd home.

I’ve been busy recently with the big update here since I wasn’t posting for months here… This story is from November last year.

NYC trip was one of the top from my bucket list. This first time in NYC was very special for me. I visited my partner’s family for Thanksgiving celebration. And again going to this city as a photographer might be overwhelming. Mostly in places like this, I’m more paralyzed and literally don’t wanna photograph anything that was photographed before. But this thing you, who is visiting this blog regularly do know.

Today, day 1.

My flight with SwissAir was very pleasant. This was my first long flight with a layover in Zurich. I’m not the biggest fan of flying. If I could I would choose a train or any other transportation than this. I was super surprised how comfortable flight was with good vegetarian meals and unlimited wine on the board. I don’t need to tell you how the last one made me feel happy, right? I had nine hours to read the newest novel of my favorite writer Haruki Murakami, watch some stupid movies and do my best to not fall asleep to avoid jetlag [which I have to tell u I pretty well succeed]. Being a little bit bored i’ve made a calculation that my airplane I moving with the speed of 666km per hour, hilarious!

New York City welcomed me with the snow storm… We’ve made circles above the city for about an hour. Not a pleasant experience. But landing on snow was something I will never forget about.

Below you will see the footage from my favorite part of flying – soaking in the clouds. Enjoy!

When I t snows (Dutch version)

Its has been looong time when I’ve been here for the last time.

Social media overwhelmed me recently, but there is never enough for photography. Especially I’ve so many things to share here with you. Photo diary should play its role. Will do my best to be here more often.

Thank you all of you for visiting my Woman World! I really appreciate it!

I don’t know if you guys know but The Netherlands is sometimes quite bizarre country. We have here rain for more than 200 days per year, but when it comes to snow, this country is paralyzed, gigantic traffics, trains being cancelled, no public transportation. But this always has a bright side, a walk! Today I was visiting Delft. I took few pictures before my phone died.

Some still-life’s here
