About us: Fish and Feathers

Fish and feathers is a travel blog by journalist Hilde Veeren and travel photographer Maarten Vis. We travel around the world and post about it on our travel blog. And, in case you were wondering, the name comes from our surnames, which mean Fish and Feathers in Dutch. We have both been working in the (travel) magazine business for over fifteen years and we decided that publishing our stories in travel magazines alone wasn’t enough. So fishandfeathers.travel was launched in 2009 during a three-month sabbatical in Asia. At first just for our friends and family, but as soon as we realised our audience grew each day, we professionalised our blog.

Hilde, Bali, 2010

Hilde’s favorite spot: “If I have to choose it will forever be Vivenda Goa, a small boutique hotel in Goa where Maarten proposed.” Maarten’s favorite destination: I love islands: Gili Trawangan, Mallorca or Terschelling. But I bet if I ever get to travel to Chile, I’ll have a new number one!”
