° raw herring ° do you love it or hate it? People from thr Netherlands (especially at the coast) have been eating raw herring for over 600 years. Traditionally, eating herring was mostly a practical matter. The fish is rich in nutrients and fat. When kept in a barrel of salt, it can be eaten all winter. Needless to say, raw herring is an acquired taste and this silvery, slimy snack is definitely not for everyone. Nevertheless, it holds a special place in many Dutch people's hearts and has been a staple dish of the Netherlands since the Middle Ages. ❤️🇳🇱😋

•Winterwonderland• Welcome to our cute lakeview house in Zeeland, which is also less then 5km away from the beach and ocean! My name is Stella; having my feet in the sand and breathing in the salty ocean air makes me feel alive! °

Whenever I rent out my house, I stay with my boyfriend, my family or I am in Uganda. I work online (as a so called Digital Nomad) and hence I am quite flexible in where I can be. °

Thanks to renting out my house I was able to travel and start a charity called , which focuses on Education, Entrepreneurship and Local Leadership. We support 419 children in Uganda by sending them to school and building up community projects.
°

The last 5 years I have spend each year several months in Uganda. Hence why you will feel some "African Vibe" in my house. Many things you find, I brought with me from Uganda. Africa is forever in my heart and I love to bring a bit of it with me home. °

Click on the Airbnb link to check the availability for my house. I hope you love staying here as much as I do. Enjoy the beautiful lake and ocean! And for now enjoy some pictures and stories here! °

•Conversation Pit• The conversation pit or better said in Dutch "Zitkuil" and in German "Gesprächsgrube" is the perfect spot in the morning to have breakfast. It protects you from the wind and has the most morning sun. Especially on windy days you will be able to eat and sit outside and are protected from the wind. You find outside pillows and table cloths on top of the washing machine.

It is 2020 and this still needs to be said. Makes me sad and angry. You probably also saw on the news what happened in Minneapolis: a police man murdered George Floyd. Inform yourself about his story. Feel it. Police is supposed to work for us not murder us! Take action and follow

A very small lovely town that is definitely worth a visit! Check the schedule of the ferry beforehand! Alternatively you can also rent a bicycle and drive around the lake to Veerse. The Netherlands is flat so perfect for biking!

•Puzzle• I ordered this cute chair online, but it came in separate pieces. Felt almost like putting a puzzle together There were at least 50 different screws. Thankfully I only ordered one chair! haha. Also interesting to see the different tactic between me and my boyfriend. While he was already putting the pieces together I first read the description. So after 10 minutes -when he already got stuck at one point - I could tell him it was setup in the wrong directions and hence we could remove everything and start all over again. 😅

• Makeover • New wall decoration, chairs, curtain, light, plants and a wooden mask from Uganda. It's funny how these things can give such a huge makeover to a room. I am really happy with our new chairs from Especially the mix of colours make me happy and I love the light as well. The wall decoration is from and it is definitely not the only piece I bought! I will soon post pics of also the other stuff! What stayed the same? Well the table, the display cabinet and the floor! 🤗🇳🇱💗
