About

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by!

Maps ‘N Bags is an online travel resource covering stories about many countries around the world. All content and stories are written by freelance writers and travelers sharing their honest experiences and research.

Almost ten years ago, I moved to the Netherlands and took every opportunity I could to discover all corners of this tiny and adorable country!

We don’t accept guest posts or sponsored content. If you have any questions about a destination, we kindly ask you to write them in the comment section of the articles so other travelers can benefit from the answer.

But, it wasn’t that easy to find information online about other Dutch cities as most of the international community apparently only knows Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and The Hague.

Don’t get me wrong. I love those places. I lived in Amsterdam and am absolutely in love with that place.

However, the Netherlands is far more than this city, and that’s exactly what I want to share with you: the Netherlands, including Amsterdam and beyond.

So Maps ‘N Bags is all about my field-tested travel tips and itineraries. No BS, irrealistic stuff.
