👻 Fun Fact Friday! Halloween is becoming more popular in the Netherlands. While trick-or-treating isn’t common everywhere, spooky parties, haunted attractions, and decorated houses are becoming more familiar sights. 🎃

The Dutch also have a tradition that has some similarities to Halloween. It’s called Sint-Maarten and is celebrated on November 11. Children carry lanterns, sing songs at people’s doors, and receive sweets!

🌍 Today is World Tourism Day! I feel grateful for the chance to see the world and connect with its cultures. For me, traveling meaningfully means:

- Supporting local communities (like family-run guesthouses & tours)
- Saying no to activities involving wildlife
- Reducing my plastic use whenever possible

Even small steps make a difference for people, animals, and our planet.
