Welcome to Fietsvlogger — where cycling, storytelling, and slow travel come together. “Fiets” is Dutch for bicycle — and yes, I’m Dutch!
I believe in slow cycling: taking the time to explore countries on my bike, enjoying the sights, and having meaningful conversations along the way. In my vlogs, I’ll bring you along on these rides while sharing my life as a travel journalist and photographer.
This channel is also about living with ptsd and fibromyalgia, a chronic condition that causes ongoing pain, and how cycling helps me find balance and joy. On top of that, I’ll share my thoughts on the (bike) products I use — from gear to travel essentials.
Subscribe for weekly cycling adventures and authentic stories from the road — life on two wheels, told with honesty and passion.

I recently shared my favorite Boat & Bike trip so far — through Sicily’s Hidden Paradise, the Aeolian Islands! 🌋🇮🇹
Would you rather spend your days biking or sailing? 🚴♀️⛵

Hi all! Editing my video about La Velomaritime is taking a ‘little’ longer than expected. That’s why I decided to first share my review video about the super wide Schwalbe tires. The next one will be La Velomaritime (in 2 weeks). Happy 🚴🏼♀️

I am considering buying an electric car…. (Second hand).
It just doesn’t feel right, promoting cycling and meanwhile driving in a petrol slurping car… 🫣 Anyone any experience with the BMW i3?
Guess it will mean drinking loads of coffee ☕️ while charging the car?
Anyone interested in videos about my (possible) future experiences with driving an electric car?
A tow bar is extremely expensive unfortunately, which I will need to bring my bicycle along. Although some people share pictures of bringing their bikes inside the car. 😃🤔
I would love to hear your thoughts, thanks!
(And yes, I will be back SOON with new videos, so sorry for being away this long!!)

Deze vrijdag (14.30 uur) en zaterdag (10.30 uur) geef ik op de Fiets en Wandelbeurs een lezing over fietsen langs de waterlinies, in Utrecht en omgeving. Met filmpjes en foto’s. Zie ik jullie daar? 😃
This Friday (2.30 pm) and Saturday (10.30 am) I will give a lecture at the Fiets en Wandelbeurs about cycling along the Dutch water defence lines. With videos and photos. Will I see you there? 😃

Hi all! Sorry for my silence. My grandmother passed away recently, she was 90, but it was still very unexpected - cause she was so fit! Loved her sooo much. I will upload soon again. ❤️❤️

Hi everyone, the last 2 weeks I've been fighting stupid covid (man, I hate this virus more than ever). It looks like I won! 💪 I've been editing several videos, but my head was all fogged up, and just couldn't finish them. Soon I will upload my vlogs:
- Royal Canal Greenway in Ireland (3rd video): more cycling and music!
- A beautiful winter ride on Goeree Overflakkee (a Dutch peninsula)
- Camping in my living room, during the renovation of our house
So stay tuned! Happy cycling. :) 🚴🏼♀️

I am on a bike trip for a few days, in Belgium. Pretty long days, couldn’t find time to edit a video. :( A vlog will follow later this week, about a bike-boat trip in The Netherlands, with windmills, old cities and loads of water! Happy cycling!

I have been cycling in Zeeland - some islands and peninsulas in the southwest of The Netherlands - this week. A vlog will be online SOON! Fergal and I tested a Quechua tent of 25,99 euro.... even in a thunderstorm.... ;)
