After a long and hectic year at work and due to corona, the first beautiful sunny days in April 2021 brought up the irrepressible need to escape for a while. Peace, space and other atmospheres were the words I had in mind when I contacted Marjolijn. Zanzibar had long been a wish somewhere at the […]
