Good morning, ladies and gentlemen (or good afternoon, evening, night). Did I ever tell you that I got the chance to go to Graubünden in Switzerland and I said no? Probably not, cause stuff like that embarrasses me. Lesson number one you learn on the.ego.tripper: never say no to a free trip. Especially when it [...]

Howdy folks, how are you today? Are you ready for another travel story? A short one, this time. About the Italian island of Sardinia, where I’ve been only once, by accident. You see, I actually wanted to go to Cinque Terre and I had booked my Ryanair ticket, leaving from Charleroi Airport. But for some [...]

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.

For those of you who have been following me since the blog beginning – which actually only was a couple of months ago – a blogpost on the Andaman Islands might seem familiar. But for some reason I only uploaded three pictures and a couple of lines of text. I can’t remember why I didn’t [...]

If you look at my favorite destinations for partying, you’ll find the inevitable Las Vegas, Sydney, Krakow, Berlin and Tokyo. But actually I could’ve added Beirut as well. A few hundred kilometers north of that other middle eastern party town, Tel Aviv, Beirut caters to the needs of wealthier tourists that like good weather, private [...]

Size doesn’t matter. At least that’s what the ladies have been telling me over the last fifteen years. But if you look east to south-east, size does seem to matter. There is even some sort of competition going on about who has the biggest. Hotel that is. The Emirates and China (and Singapore) seem to [...]

Treehouses, only for kids? Think again! Treehouse hotels are attracting more and more tourists each year and it doesn’t take a Sherlock to figure out why. Some of these beauties are not only for tree huggers, but offer the same luxury as your friendly neighborhood Ritz-Carlton. Honestly, they can’t even be named treehouses anymore. Let’s [...]

You might already know this, but I’ll tell you anyway: infinity pools are sweet ass, bro! Or at least I imagine them to be. I’ve actually never – or almost never – been to a hotel with these kinds of pools. But that doesn’t mean you can’t like them just by looking at them. You [...]
