About We12travel

Hi! Welcome to We12travel (“we want to travel”). My name is Antonette and I’m a Dutch writer, hiker and world traveller.

After having made various round the world trips and living as a digital nomad for the past seven years most of the time, in the summer of 2023 I bought a house in Swedish Lapland, where I nowadays spend most of my time.

On We12travel you will find my personal stories of the journeys I make and I share my passion for the outdoors, nature and hiking. I’ve been writing on We12travel since 2011 and am one of the longest running personal outdoor and hiking blogs currently still active.

I will help you find the best hikes in the world, either short walks or multiday hikes. As a solo traveler I’ve hiked more than 50 multi day hikes across 5 different continents. I share my experiences about solo adventuring in the outdoors and encourage other females to live a more adventurous life.

Are you Dutch? Then make sure to visit the Dutch section of my website!

Best multiday hikes in the world

Over the past 20 years I have hiked more than 50 multi day hikes in five different contintens. I’ve gathered my favorites in this blogpost, from the Dutch Mountain Trail to the Everest Base Camp Trek and everything in between.

  • Vacay mode on 🌴🎉 After a pretty hectic year, I have now closed my laptop and decided to reward myself with a vacation. As a travel blogger and writer, your work is never done. You can always write new stories, post more on social media or optimize for Google. It saddens me to think that the last time I took a vacation longer than a week was more than two years ago. Yes you read that right. For the exact reasons mentioned above I never allowed myself to take off a longer period of time. My aim is to not work until early January, unless there’s an urgent matter that needs to be solved (“perks” of running your own business). I think I’ll spend lots of time relaxing, sleeping, reading and just being. See you when I feel like it! 😘
  • Let me stand up for the amazingly kind people in Bali who deserve more than “it’s an island wasted by tourism” because it’s not. Sure in certain areas there will be drunk tourists and people in search of themselves (heck, I used to be one of those) but this morning I discovered that you can still find hidden treasures in Bali because during my three hour tour I did not see one single (yes, ZERO!) other tourist. Maybe the way up north is too much of an effort for most of us but *man* I absolutely had a blast this morning. #bali #munduk #travel #ricefieldsbali
  • Ja halloooo groetjes uit de jungle 🌴 Zoals jullie hebben kunnen volgen, was het een behoorlijke uitdaging om op Bali te komen. Een reis van 60 uur waarvan grotendeels zonder handbagage en een vertraging van 14 uur. Ik koos ervoor om niet teveel te sippen en klagen, maar juist te kijken naar wat ik ervan kon leren. Wat ik leerde? Dat lees je in mijn nieuwste blog via de #linkinbio 💚

Let me stand up for the amazingly kind people in Bali who deserve more than “it’s an island wasted by tourism” because it’s not. Sure in certain areas there will be drunk tourists and people in search of themselves (heck, I used to be one of those) but this morning I discovered that you can still find hidden treasures in Bali because during my three hour tour I did not see one single (yes, ZERO!) other tourist.

Ja halloooo groetjes uit de jungle 🌴 Zoals jullie hebben kunnen volgen, was het een behoorlijke uitdaging om op Bali te komen. Een reis van 60 uur waarvan grotendeels zonder handbagage en een vertraging van 14 uur. Ik koos ervoor om niet teveel te sippen en klagen, maar juist te kijken naar wat ik ervan kon leren. Wat ik leerde? Dat lees je in mijn nieuwste blog via de #linkinbio 💚
