As Dutchbloggeronthemove.com is growing every day and there are many more miles to be flown; we’re expanding! Because we want to share as many tips as possible, as many sights as possible and as many stories as possible, I decided to look for great people who all have their own passion for travel. Each and every one of them has a passion; whether this is for the foreign food, for a particular island, for the music, for scuba-diving, for female solo travel, for luxury travel, for water sports, for the passion or for great beaches; we will inspire you and take you with us on the move. ps: writers wanted!
Lisa
Founder & Owner Dutchbloggeronthemove
Hi, I’m Lisa, Dutch (which explains Dutch blogger on the move). Since I can remember all I wanted was to go on holiday with my parents again and I always wanted to discover more and more of the world. Every traveler will recognize that feeling, that feeling deep inside. That feeling that you can’t put aside and I decided not to ignore this feeling any longer. During my master I already opted for minors in economic travel, social media and I did a photography course next to it. If you ask my friends; I’m always taking pictures. I decided to write a business plan, save enough money and start my own platform for everyone who likes to be on the move.
Since moving to Spain (Palma de Mallorca), I’ve spent the past years sharing my personal journey and travel tips on this website with women around the world. I have traveled to a lot of countries, lived in Spain, Amsterdam, Spain again and now I’m currently living in both countries (winter here, summer there). But one thing I can tell you; the best is yet to come.

Hello everyone! It’s so lovely to meet you. I believe that every day is the opportunity to experience, learn, and grow. Whether I am traveling, or exploring my own hometown of Chicago, I want to learn as much as I can about the food, wine culture, fashion, and history of each city I visit. Every person I meet, and every place I go has a story, and my mission is to experience it all so I can share it with you!
I have always loved taking pictures and writing about my food, wine, and travels, but in February 2020 I started writing for Dutch blogger on the move. I am so grateful to Lisa for continuing to inspire me to grow as a writer and photographer.
When I am not traveling, I teach students how to play instruments in Chicago, IL, USA, while also advocating for the needs of my students with special needs. I am passionate about cooking, fitness, fashion, wine, music, and Gluten Free cuisine
Thank you for reading- I look forward to sharing my adventures with you!

‘The eye must travel’. I totally agree with this quote from Diana Vreeland. There’s nothing
like discovering new places, making memories along the way. As a child, I was always
curious about other countries and people. I was looking for information, wanted to learn
about other cultures, and I was writing my own stories about them in notebooks. Long
before social media, I was sending letters to people all over the world, with an
organisation called ‘International Penfriends’. I studied journalism and I never stopped
writing stories.
What really calls me is beautiful nature, lovely food and art. I love to travel with my
family and our dog, or to go on a trip with friends. For me, travelling is not about seeing
all the highlights, running from one place to another. It’s more like soaking up the place.
Watching the stars, sipping a coffee, swimming in a clear blue sea, or getting really
excited for seeing a group of dolphins, with tears rolling down my face. Our world is
beautiful and there is so much to discover. I can’t wait to share all the adventures with
you.
I met Lisa when I was walking our dog in our neighbourhood. We had a chat, and we
found some common interests – besides our dogs. Photography, writing, discovering new
places in a slow pace, making meaningful connections along the way.
Moa
Writer
Moa is originally from Sweden but has lived in Edinburgh, Scotland for over 10 years. She had the pleasure of meeting Lisa on a trip to the French alps when she was working for a ski travel agency and she is delighted to now be contributing to the blog with her travel experiences.
When she is not writing about travel, she is also a freelance drinks writer, specialising in whisky, a wedding, branding & portrait photographer in Edinburgh and further afield – and as if all of this was not enough she also works as a content creator, combining all the above skills into one.
When traveling, Moa has a particular soft spot for the nordic countries, old European cities and alpine villages. Bonus points if there are excellent food or drinks experiences or scenic photo opportunities.
Three fun facts about Moa is that she is the author of a whisky book, she used to work as a travel guide in the Swiss and Austrian Alps and she sews a lot of her own clothes.
Jessika
Writer
Jessika is our writer, guided by a passion for luxury hospitality, wine & gastronomy, and wellness travel. Half Dutch and half French, fluent in five languages, she spent over 15 years working in international hospitality before choosing a slower, more intentional way of experiencing the world. Learning Italian at the Accademia di Firenze marked a turning point, opening the door to deeper cultural connections and a more immersive approach to travel.
Today, she is drawn to places where refinement meets authenticity: elegant hotels with soul, vineyards that tell a story, restorative spa retreats, and tables celebrating the richness of local flavours. Travel, for her, is an emotional experience shaped by craftsmanship, culture, and a strong sense of place, where the smallest details leave the deepest impression. Often by her side is her dachshund Takkie, a loyal companion who proves that the most memorable adventures are always better when shared.
Vivian Secrève
Writer
Let me introduce myself nicely. My name is Vivian (Owner The Daily Dutchy)and like Lisa, I am Dutch. I live in the heart of Amsterdam and I know Lisa from a beautiful trip to Mallorca, from which a great friendship came.
We found each other there in our passions for traveling, good food and photography. Something we both share on our platform. I mainly share my tips on where to go in the Netherlands on The Daily Dutchy and Lisa does this with Dutchbloggeronthemove for the whole world. So together we are good at combining our strengths with what makes us both most happy.
Traveling together, discovering new places, telling stories and enjoying life. Whether this is in Haarlem or Amsterdam or we get on a plane together, to a place still unknown to us.

I’m Nathalie, the queen of taking every day as it comes and living in the moment! I can confirm I am the queen of slow travel and everyone’s favorite travel bestie.
After a burnout, I quit my corporate job at the end of August 2023 and set off to travel around Southeast Asia. What was meant to be a three-month trip turned into a longer adventure as I fell in love with Asia and found remote work while I was out here. I’m now a freelance social media manager living my best life, traveling the world on a never-ending journey!
I have always loved travel. Growing up with a mother from a different country exposed me to new cultures, and I have always enjoyed meeting people from around the world and hearing their stories.
My interests include hiking, diving, photography, fitness, food, and fashion, so you can expect to see plenty of content about these passions!
I can’t wait for you to see the world through my eyes!
Lots of love,

traveling full time, I worked in a corporate job, but I always was curious, if there is a higher
purpose for the rest of my life. So right now I’m looking for my purpose in life by traveling the
world and learning everything about new cultures, their lifestyles and their view on things.
By passing my travel tips and experiences, I want to inspire as many people as possible to
look beyond their horizon and seek their happiness on the other side of the world. My
passion is showing people how easy and affordable traveling could be.
The last few years I’ve traveled almost all over Europe with my small camper van. Now it
was time to explore the other part of the world, that’s why I’m currently traveling Australia, to

Stay tuned for insights from my tour through Australia and Asia.
