Big in Brussels: The art of working and living in the EU Bubble
Big in Brussels: The art of working and living in the EU Bubble
The Brussels “EU Bubble” is a high-pressure, fast-churn and competitive environment where career success can often come at a high personal cost. Drawing on his own experience and the collective wisdom of many Brussels insiders, Jeroen Reijnen explains “the art of working and living in the EU Bubble” − in other words, how best to achieve a positive work-life balance in a city where people come and go, and burnout, rootlessness and loneliness are all too common.As Jeroen explains: “Where 'Big in Brussels' started out just as a book about making a career, it evolved into one about how to live the 'Good Life' in the EU Bubble.” His advice is practical, realistic and engaging. If your own road leads to Brussels, make sure to take this book with you on your journey.PART I: HOW TO GET INLiving like a Sultan From idealists to careeristsEndless summer The rule of at least two internships Some reading and watching tips To Bruges or not to Bruges?

Reisverhaal Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Travels in South Africa | Gavin Bell
Reisverhaal Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Travels in South Africa | Gavin Bell
Near the southern tip of Africa, there is a mountain that does a conjuring trick with the biggest tablecloth on earth. In a sacred forest near the Limpopo river, there is a bird that flies on wings of thunder, flashing lightning from its eyes and bearing rain in its beak. In between, there is a hauntingly beautiful land and millions of confused people. When Archbishop Desmond Tutu dubbed his native South Africa the 'Rainbow Nation', he conjured a vision of ethnic diversity and harmony in a country with eleven official languages, two national anthems, and a parliament that shuttled between two cities. As a foreign correspondent reporting on the last days of apartheid, Gavin Bell thought it was a brave image and wondered how long it would endure. A few years later, he returned to find out what had happened to Tutu's rainbow. In his travels he found a country at odds with itself, swinging between hope and despair, buoyed by a sense of freedom and haunted by a fear of violent crime. SOMEW…

Reisverhaal Where Hornbills Fly | Erik Jensen
Reisverhaal Where Hornbills Fly | Erik Jensen
Once headhunters under the rule of White Rajahs and briefly colonised before independence within Malaysia, the Iban Dayaks of Borneo are one of the world's most extraordinary indigenous tribes, possessing ancient traditions and a unique way of life. As a young man Erik Jensen settled in Sarawak where he lived with the Iban for seven years, learning their language and the varied rites and practices of their lives. He was also witness to the great and often shattering changes they faced then and continue to face today. The plentiful harvests, abundant game and rivers teeming with fish of their remembered past have long since disappeared - destroyed by restrictions on settlement and, ironically, by forest conservation. The Iban's animist beliefs are slowly being replaced by the imported religions of Christianity and Islam and their traditional ways by modern schooling and medicine. In this compelling and beautifully-wrought memoir, Erik Jensen reveals the challenges facing the Iban as th…

Reisverhaal Revolutionary Ride Iran | Lois Pryce
Reisverhaal Revolutionary Ride Iran | Lois Pryce
In 2011, at the height of tension between the British and Iranian governments, travel writer Lois Pryce found a note left on her motorcycle outside the Iranian Embassy in London: ... I wish that you will visit Iran so you will see for yourself about my country. WE ARE NOT TERRORISTS!!! Please come to my city, Shiraz. It is very famous as the friendliest city in Iran, it is the city of poetry and gardens and wine!!! Your Persian friend, Habib Intrigued, Lois decides to ignore the official warnings against travel (and the warnings of her friends and family) and sets off alone on a 3,000 mile ride from Tabriz to Shiraz, to try to uncover the heart of this most complex and incongruous country. Along the way, she meets carpet sellers and drug addicts, war veterans and housewives, doctors and teachers - people living ordinary lives under the rule of an extraordinarily strict Islamic government. Revolutionary Ride is the story of a people and a country. Religious and hedonistic, practical…

Reisverhaal Dreaming of Jupiter | Ted Simon
Reisverhaal Dreaming of Jupiter | Ted Simon
Ted Simon is the author of the classic travel book JUPITER'S TRAVELS. It documents his four-year journey round the world by motorbike, travelling through Europe, Africa, South and North America, and Asia. A number one bestseller in the late 1970s, it is still regarded as one of the greatest motorcycle books - indeed, one of the greatest travel books - ever written. In 2001, at the age of 69, Ted Simon decided to retrace his journey, and DREAMING OF JUPITER is the result. It took him two and a half years - during which time he revisited all the countries he had travelled through in the 1970s. He found much had changed, and he reflects upon the increased poverty, political upheavals, environmental issues and indeed the changes in himself. But ultimately, DREAMING OF JUPITER is a hugely inspiring read with a positive message at its heart - that even at the age of 70 you can still set off on an adventure, and be surprised and excited by what life throws at you along the way. *'Gloriously …

Reisverhaal Walking the Great North Line | Robert Twigger
Reisverhaal Walking the Great North Line | Robert Twigger
Robert Twigger, poet and travel author, was in search of a new way up England when he stumbled across the Great North Line. From Christchurch on the South Coast to Old Sarum to Stonehenge, to Avebury, to Notgrove barrow, to Meon Hill in the midlands, to Thor's Cave, to Arbor Low stone circle, to Mam Tor, to Ilkley in Yorkshire and its three stone circles and the Swastika Stone, to several forts and camps in Northumberland to Lindisfarne (plus about thirty more sites en route). A single dead straight line following 1 degree 50 West up Britain. No other north-south straight line goes through so many ancient sites of such significance. Was it just a suggestive coincidence or were they built intentionally? Twigger walks the line, which takes him through Birmingham, Halifax and Consett as well as Salisbury Plain, the Peak district, and the Yorkshire moors. With a planning schedule that focused more on reading about shamanism and beat poetry than hardening his feet up, he sets off ever hope…

Meer over Reisverhaal McCarthy's Bar | Pete McCarthy

Productomschrijving

Hilarisch verslag van een reis en ontdekkingstocht door Ierland door middel van het bezoeken van ongeveer alle pubs die de naam van de schrijver dragen. (En dat zijn er aardig wat).

Never Pass a Bar That Has Your Name On It, says the eighth rule of travel; a very rewarding rule if your name is McCarthy and you're traveling through Ireland. As he meanders from Cork to Donegal, Pete encounters many McCarthy's bars in which he explores his confused Irish-Anglo identity with colourful, friendly and funny people, before pleading to be let out at four o'clock in the morning. Written by someone who is both insider and outsider, McCarthy's Bar is a vivid and affectionate portrait of a rapidly changing country.
