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.

  • What a three week roadtrip from Salt Lake City to Seattle looks like in short 🤩

  • AMERICA DAY 21 / Seattle
A full day to explore Seattle! What an amazing town this is. First up is a visit to the Space Needle with amazing views over the city and Mt. Rainier in the distance. Leaning back against the glass wall on such big altitude feels a little odd though 😅
The afternoon is spent having amazing food, walking around downtown and taking a harbour cruise. In the evening, our city pass allows me to head up the Space Needle again to admire the view with lights 💡
The next morning I drop off the car and embark on a 48 hour journey home to the north of Sweden. What an *amazing* adventure this has been!

  • AMERICA DAY 20 / Portland to Seattle
For the first time in weeks it’s raining. It’s Oregon after all ;-) I do a quick visit to the famous Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge and then cross the river over the Bridge of the Gods into Washington State. A long drive takes me to Seattle, the final destination of my roadtrip. Almost 6.000 kms driven in three weeks! Of course the #avgeek in me visits the Museum of Flight and in the evening a soccer match as Lumen Field in downtown Seattle!
