Welcome!

to a space where curiosity meets culture, and every journey is an invitation to savor life’s hidden treasures.

Kiria Martinez

¡Hi!

I’m Kiria—a storyteller, marketer, and devoted explorer of life’s quiet beauty. With a curious heart and a love for details. After years in the Netherlands, I’ve decided to go beyond the surface—to truly live as the Dutch do. No tourist traps, no fleeting experiences. Just the quiet beauty of daily life, the traditions, and the unspoken rhythms that make this place home.

Each week, I share stories that go beyond the guidebooks—hidden gems, cozy escapes, and the flavors that bring Dutch culture to life. This isn’t just about travel; it’s about immersing in a place, embracing its rhythm, and discovering the unexpected moments that make you feel at home.

’ll be sharing every step, from charming corners to cherished traditions, right here on my blog in English. And for my Spanish-speaking friends, you can join me on the podcast, where I’ll bring these stories to life in Spanish.

Join me as I explore, discover, and experience the magic of living like a local in The netherlands.

If you have recommendations for must-visit places and series I should check out,

I’d love to hear from you!
