Hello! I’m Marloes*, and I live in Amsterdam. I’m obsessed with travelling, and I love sharing my travel experiences and advice with others. I’ve been to approximately 95 countries, and it’s hard for me to pick a favourite. Travelling isn’t about making lists. It’s about the unique experiences each place offers; some are truly remarkable, while others might be less so. Instead of overwhelming my friends and family with my travel stories (so sorry for that), I’ve decided to reach out to a bigger audience.
Welcome to ‘Add This to Your Itinerary’!
My goal is to inspire you to create your own itineraries with tips and stories from the countries and regions I’ve been to. And I mean real stories. There are so many great places to explore, and I’m excited to share my travel advice with you very soon.
Add yourself to the list
With the ‘Add This to Your Itinerary’ newsletter (I guess it will be once per 3 weeks) I’d like to share travel inspiration about:
Destinations I’ve been to (cities, countries, regions)
Endless possibilities for itineraries, including overland journeys
And of course some practical and insightful travel tips

* Marloes is a very Dutch name. It is a combination of Maria and Louis. It’s - like a lot of other Dutch words - hard to pronounce. So in a lot of countries people can call me Marie-Louise, Maria-Louisa, Mary-Lou (I don’t like that song by the way), Maluz or Miss Mallus.
