Hi! I'm Willemijn. I love travelling and I enjoy sharing the best stories, photos and recipes from my travels on my blog. I'm currently saving money for a big trip next year: I'm hoping to travel all the way from Holland to Hong Kong by train. This means I (probably) won't be travelling until then. I thought it'd be cool to meet up with some travellers in the meantime. Gorinchem isn't an internationally well known city, but I think it's interesting nonetheless. It's got a rich history, dating back centuries, and became part of the "Hollandic Water Line" in the 17th century, a water based defense line for Holland, which gave the city centre its star shaped map. In short, Gorinchem is a small, but typically Dutch city, away from the majority of tourists. Also: the world famous windmills of Kinderdijk are about 25 minutes away from here by car. These are a UNESCO world heritage site. By bus, it would take about an hour and twenty minutes, but the route goes through the flat countryside and partially follows the river Lek. In your request, please let me know what it is you’d like to see or do here, and I can help you plan.
