Welcome to Pack and Paint!
Pack and Paint was born through my love for art and travel. As an artist and textile designer, travelling overseas has always inspired me to create. I love to paint when I travel and, obviously, you can’t travel anywhere without packing a bag. Hence the name of this blog.
These days, I focus on cultural travel in the Netherlands and beyond. After travelling to almost 30 countries, I share how to enjoy authentic experiences on the road to create the most unforgettable memories.
While the Netherlands is at the heart of Pack and Paint, you’ll also find thoughtful guides, insights and travel inspiration from my worldwide adventures.
Happy planning!
