Parents worry about Facebook taking over the lives of their kids. Aren’t we constantly trying to warn them about the dangers? If by any chance our house gets broken into while we are on holidays, it is probably because they mentioned our trip on FB. (As if thieves didn’t know…

People often ask me where I come from. I tell them I come from a small town between Bruges and Ghent. I tell them I used to live in ‘the country’, as we call it in Belgium. But as I see it now, compared to Buenos Aires, my hometown was…

For a couple of years now, we have been fighting this war in my family. I am one of those fanatic apple fans. I threw out windows years ago, and couldn’t be more happy when they brought out their first iPhone. My husband has a blackberry. A blackberry is for…

The 9th of September 2009, now 2 years ago. That was the day, or rather the night, that we were crossing the atlantic, the day our holiday destination changed into home country and vice versa. How could we leave the, in every way (except for the weather, of course) perfect…
