Dear members,
Below you’ll find an ever-growing list of spots that were added to the site this month. The paint just dried at some of the addresses, while others have been added because you wanted some tips in those destinations. I’ve been to Amsterdam and Antwerp, so many new recommendations in those two cities to begin with. And we’re sharing new tips in Portugal, Norway and Stockholm.
Enjoy your new month, warm wishes, Pauline
