Over We12Travel

Hi! Welkom op We12travel (we want to travel)! Mijn naam is Antonette. Ik ben reiziger, schrijver een enorme liefhebber van het buitenleven.

Na diverse wereldreizen gemaakt te hebben, kocht ik in de zomer van 2023 een huis in Zweeds-Lapland. Wanneer ik niet op reis ben, breng ik hier het meeste van mijn tijd door.

Op We12travel vind je alles wat te maken heeft met outdoor reizen, natuur en hiking. Van de beste outdoor kleding tot de mooiste meerdaagse trektochten ter wereld en alles daar tussenin. Ik schrijf op We12travel al sinds 2011 persoonlijke, eerlijke en inspirerende verhalen over alles wat met reizen en buiten zijn te maken heeft.

Ik help je bij je zoektocht naar mooie wandelbestemmingen, het voorbereiden op je trektocht en het plannen van je reis in de natuur. Meer weten over mij? Luister dan ook naar de Podcast voor Avontuurlijke Vrouwen waar ik de host van ben en laat je inspireren om vaker naar buiten te gaan en een avontuurlijker leven te leiden.

Mooiste trektochten ter wereld

De afgelopen jaren liep ik meer dan 50 trektochten verdeeld over vijf verschillende continenten. Ik heb mijn favoriete trektochten voor je verzameld in deze blog: van de Dutch Mountain Trail tot de Everest Base Camp trek en alles daar tussenin.

Reishandboek Nieuw-Zeeland

In het najaar van 2022 verscheen bij Uitgeverij Elmar mijn Reishandboek Nieuw-Zeeland, dat ik schreef naar aanleiding van mijn vier uitgebreide rondreizen die ik maakte door dit fascinerende land.

In dit boek heb ik niet alleen alle praktische en toeristische informatie gebundeld, maar ook veel aandacht besteed aan persoonlijke ervaringen en leuke wandelroutes.

Alleen wandelen als vrouw

De meeste hikes die ik maak, doe ik solo. Spannend? Zeker! Uitdagend? Dat ook! Ik wandel nagenoeg altijd alleen, zowel in Nederland, Zweden als in Nieuw-Zeeland. In de loop der jaren heb ik behoorlijk wat tips verzameld om veilig solo te wandelen als vrouw.

Regel je accommodatie!

Met een gerust gevoel op vakantie gaan? Alles van tevoren regelen geeft ontzettend veel rust en zekerheid dat er ook daadwerkelijk plek voor je is. Ik werk daarom graag met Booking.com

Reishandboek Zweden

In mei 2023 verscheen bij Uitgeverij Elmar mijn Reishandboek Zweden, een praktische en culturele reisgids met alle bezienswaardigheden.

Deze reisgids werd met veel plezier geschreven aan de hand van meer dan 15 reizen naar Zweden die ik de afgelopen 10 jaar maakte. Het is een complete gids met veel achtergrondinformatie, kaarten en plattegronden in kleur.

Boek je huurauto

Veilig en zonder risico je huurauto boeken, bijvoorbeeld in Amerika, Scandinavië of in Nieuw-Zeeland? Ik werk al jaren tot volle tevredenheid samen met Sunny Cars. Omdat zij het eigen risico al bij boeking voor je afkopen, hoef je je ter plekke geen zorgen te maken over schades en extra verzekeringen. Wel zo handig!

Wildkamperen in Zweden

Elke zomer breng ik kamperend met mijn tent en Volvo door in het noorden van Zweden. In dit uitgebreide artikel vertel ik je alles over veilig wildkamperen in Zweden en geef ik je mijn tips over hoe je het beste op zoek kunt gaan naar een toffe wildkampeerplek.

  • AMERICA DAY 16 / Smith Rock State Park and Tumalo Falls
How big can the variety in landscape be in just a 30 minute ride? One minute you’re hiking in the impressive and rocky Smith Rock State Park, just a little later you’re out hiking between lush waterfalls and green forests. Central Oregon truly surprised me 🙏🏻

  • AMERICA DAY 15 / arrival into Oregon.
Two weeks on the road and entering the sixth state: Oregon! Here I’ll spend another week roadtripping their amazing nature. The drive from Boise to Redmond was fairly long so I didn’t take many stops, but the painted hills were definitely the highlight of this day 🤩

  • AMERICA DAY 12 / Hiking around McCall
Today I try two different hiking trails near the town of McCall. The first one was in Ponderosa State Park, with its beautiful ponderosa pines and views from the plateau across the lake and back to McCall.
The second hike was a bit more challenging, it led up to Boulder Lake, located far into nowhere after a long drive on an unpaved road. Here the fall colors on the trail were pretty amazing and having lunch at the lake before driving down to Boise was the best way to say goodbye to the mountains for now.
