Oh my God, ladies and gentlemen, dear fans of the.ego.tripper. Oh my fucking God! I honestly cannot believe it. We did it! Well, it was mostly me, but you supported me in doing what I do best. Thanks to you I’ve won the amazing Knack Weekend Blog Award. Again! OMG OMG OMG. (the.ego.tripper reaching for [...]

Dearest friends, sorry to keep you waiting for an awesome travel post, but you know how it goes: busy, busy, busy. And therefore I will keep this one short and simple: I just heard I’m going to Cabo Verde in december! Wow Cabo Verde, what the hell is Cabo Verde? Good question. Cabo Verde is [...]

Yes, sleeping around in Antwerp, you heard me. This is what you want to be doing! I swear. Listen. If you want a unique hotel experience in my beautiful hometown, which is Antwerp (actually I’m from Belgium’s east coast called Limburg, but moved here six or seven years ago), I’ve got the thing for you. [...]

Because traveling doesn’t necessarily mean going on an airplane or driving your car for more than ten hours straight, I thought I’d share a little ‘local’ secret with you. If you happen to be from Antwerp or happen to visit in this month of September (please do so!), you’ll want to visit ‘Casa Bacardi’, the [...]

Well hello, dear fans of the.ego.tripper, how are you today? Are you ready for the story of the mythical Sri Lankan restaurant? No, it’s not a fairy tale by the Grimm brothers, it’s a travel tale by the.ego.tripper. It’s not very famous yet, but I’ll leave the spreading of the word up to you guys. [...]

What a day, what a day! Dear ego.tripper.fans, the.ego.tripper is sad today. For the first time since meeting all of you nice people. And you wanna know why? Because I had to say goodbye to my beloved Samsung Galaxy Note. It crashed and burned when I tried to update it and download my pictures of [...]

Dearest friends, I promised I would update the.ego.tripper and give you some info about my holiday in Croatia. So here it is (hope this app doesn’t screw up my website): I’m having an amazing time! You remember how I told you I was skipping Plitvice. Well, I didn’t. I just had to go, I couldn’t [...]

Achtung, readers, achtung. First order of business: I shat myself. Not to worry, you will not smell anything and I will clean it up later. Second order of business: Yes, I am an idiot. More on that later. Back to the act of shitting myself. You must wonder why I did such a thing (because [...]

Guess who has the best fans/readers in the world? Well, it’s probably someone else, but you are pretty swell too! I’m serious, thanks to yourselves and a professional jury, your favorite website (hint: it’s the.ego.tripper) has been voted Best Belgian Travel Blog NL, which actually means Best Flemish Travel Blog. Finally I get to use [...]

Dear fans of the.ego.tripper, I have a few announcements to make: 1. You all have awesome taste in travel blogs, I must say! 2. Today is the last day you can vote for the.ego.tripper in the Belgian Blog Awards. Thank you if you’ve already done this. If you haven’t yet, I know it’s because you [...]

I thought I’d just let this one slide. But since all of my lady fans are so beautiful, it might just come in handy. I’m talking about Miss Travel, the self proclaimed #1 Travel Dating site. Apparently there are two types of travellers in this world: either you are beautiful but poor, or you are [...]

Just a few minutes ago I received a press release from Connections, a well known travel agency in Belgium. They have a new brochure to offer, one on Sri Lanka and the Maldives. And they included a picture of the latter. This kind of scenery never ceases to amaze me. You look at pictures like [...]
