Als vlogger, journalist en fotograaf trek ik de wereld rond op... de fiets! Maar nee, ik probeer niet zo snel mogelijk aan een bepaald aantal kilometers te komen. Neem de plekken rustig in me op, bestudeer het kabbelende water en de vegetatie. Fietsen is voor mij dé manier om fraaie verhalen op het spoor te komen. YouTube: Fietsvlogger
Mijn reportages verschijnen in onder meer Trouw, FietsActief, Vogelvrije Fietser en Zin.

De Veluwezoom heeft volop landgoederen, buitenplaatsen en kastelen. Het heuvelachtige landschap rondom Arnhem trok door de eeuwen heen welgestelde families, die vaak uit stedelijke gebieden kwamen en hier hun landhuizen bouwden. Ik fietste de route Ontdek de verhalen van de Veluwezoom (route 3), langs Kasteel Rosendael, Landgoed Duno, Kasteel Doorwerth, Landgoed Warnsborn en de Koningsheide. Mijn blog lees je op mijn website Mooiste Fietsroutes. Link: zie bio.

The Dutch area Veluwezoom has plenty of country estates and castles. Over the centuries, the hilly landscape around Arnhem attracted wealthy families, who often came from urban areas and built their country houses here. I cycled the route Discover the stories of the Veluwezoom (route 3), past Rosendael Castle, Duno Estate, Doorwerth Castle, Warnsborn Estate and the Koningsheide.

De Veluwezoom is waanzinnig mooi. Je fietst hier door bossen en glooiende heidevelden. Drie nieuwe fietsroutes gaan langs de minder bekende plekken: ‘Ontdek de verhalen van de Veluwezoom’. Je trapt langs landgoederen, kastelen en oude watermolens. Zoals Landgoed Middachten (op de foto). Ik fietste twee van de drie nieuwe routes. Mijn blogs lees je op mijn website Mooiste Fietsroutes.

Waalwijk is de leer- en schoenenstad van Nederland. De Leerroute van zo'n 30 kilometer gaat door het natte veenlandschap, waar de boeren vroeger leer looiden, en over de oude spoorbaan; het Halvezolenlijntje. Onderweg kun je, via de telefoon, naar geluidsfragmenten luisteren. Een leuke manier om wat van de historie te leren! Mijn tip: maak twee extra lussen en fiets een stukje langs de Bergsche Maas en de Donge (die route staat bij de blog).

Ik maakte een vlog en blog over deze fietsroute:

In the Moselle Valley you cycle through a fairytale river landscape, with charming wine villages and castles. The Mosel-Radweg is really easy to follow, it is signposted well, and mostly flat. I sometimes decided to take a little detour through the vineyards (steep hills!), where I saw people picking grapes.

It is possible to follow the river through three countries: France, Luxembourg and Germany. The route starts in Metz and ends in Koblenz (300 kilometers).

I went on a boat/bike trip from Metz to Cochem,
pedalled loads of kilometers and had so much fun with my cycling buddies (I am Dutch, there were also Canadians, Americans and Austrialians on board).

Loved this route. ❤️ It gets pretty busy in the summer, but I cycled it in October - quiet then. I made a video of my trip (including drone footage :)), which can be watched on my YouTube-channel, see bio.

Yes, tomorrow I finally will share a (travel) video on my YouTube-channel again!! And it will be almost half an hour long. ❤️🚴‍♀️ Hopefully you will enjoy watching it. And now the question is…. Which ‘thumbnail’ to use? With which photo should I announce/promote my video? I would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks. 🙏

Op de fiets ontdek ik al snel waarom de Romeinen zich zo graag in het Rijk van Nijmegen vestigden. In het noorden glinstert de Waal, in het oosten liggen de heuvels. Handig, strategisch gezien. Vijftien kilometer verderop stroomt de Rijn. Die vormde de noordgrens van het Romeinse Rijk, de Limes, in 2021 uitgeroepen tot Unesco-Werelderfgoed. De welvarende Romeinen voelden zich hier vast veilig, in hun luxe villa’s en badhuizen.

De nieuwe fietsroutes Luxe achter de Limes gaan langs Romeinse locaties en vondsten. Lees hier mijn blog: https://mooistefietsroutes.nl/luxe-achter-de-limes-nijmegen/

Cycling route De Andere Kant (The Other Side) connects a German graveyard in Ysselsteyn (Limburg, The Netherlands) with the Oorlogsmuseum (museum of war) in Overloon (Brabant, The Netherlands). While sitting on these artistic benches you can, from a different perspective, listen to the freedom operations during WWII. And then, after it, cycle through a peaceful landscape.

A flashback to 2014, when I cycled the west coast of the US, from Vancouver to San Francisco with . I had bought a second hand Koga Miyata, once made by Andries Gaastra - Fergal put some new parts on it. Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco was such a special moment. I now cycle on a bicycle made by Andries’ son, Gerrit Gaastra, an idworx. And am dreaming of the next journey. Maybe the US again, maybe France, maybe Ireland? Which destination is on your wishlist?

In summer 2014 I cycled along the west coast of the US, from Seattle to San Francisco, with . Wow, I would love to do this trip again. 🚴🏼‍♀️ The ocean, redwood trees, amazing cities, camping in state parks, meeting other cyclists. Such an adventure. A year later we cycled from San Francisco to the Mexican border. Why? Well, I worked as a news journalist back then, and I needed a trip like this to calm my mind. Now I cycle all the time. ❤️

Can’t wait till it’s spring again, and a new cycling season starts. 🔥🚴🏼‍♀️

WOW, The Banshees of Inisherin got 9 Academy Award Nominations. I recently made a video on Achill Island (for link, see bio), one of the film locations, where I had a date with more than 15 years ago, when we were still young 😉. The other film location is Inishmore, my favourite Irish island, where I wrote my first ever travel story, for . Both magical places. ❤️❤️ This photo is taken on The Great Western Greenway from Achill Island to Westport, soooo beautiful.

Watch out, sheep on the cycling patch!! Wherever I go, I love meeting these lovely woolly friends. I recently cycled The Great Western Greenway in Ireland… and aren’t these Blackface Mountain Sheep 🐑 absolutely gorgeous? The Greenway follows an old train line from Westport to Achill Island, and is one of the most beautiful greenways I have ever done - and it was winter, we even got some hailstones on our heads. You can find a link to my latest video / vlog in my bio, check it out!

Peace, we have become so used to it in The Netherlands, but it is not a given. Lately we have been reminded of that again, unfortunately. This summer I cycled the Friedensroute (German for peace route) in Germany, past the town halls of Münster and Osnabrück, where, after long negotiations, the Eighty Years' War between the Netherlands and Spain was ended in 1648. The route follows the ancient paths of the peace riders. Along the way, fascinating stories about the wartime can be heard. I made a vlog about my trip for my YouTube-channel Fietsvlogger and a blog for my Dutch website mooistefietsroutes.nl

Sailing and biking!

Wow, helping with sailing, quite exciting! I (Jessica) am spending a week on board of the three-masted Mare fan Fryslân (Boat Bike Tours), which sails over the Wadden Sea and the IJsselmeer. During the cruise from Medemblik to Den Oever, sailor Marvin explained some skills to us, after which we got to work ourselves. He had every confidence in us. And yes, it went well! Before we knew it, we were sliding across the water. 🚴‍♀️
