My name is Thijs. I’m Dutch and have lived most of my life between the Netherlands and China. I’ve worked as an entrepreneur for many years in kids’ education, and I also run a plant-based restaurant called Duli in Shanghai and Beijing.

I love traveling, and I started this blog to share what’s actually useful when exploring a place. Not endless lists, and not the “everything is perfect” style you see on most travel blogs. I prefer to filter all that and focus on what truly stays with you.
