Two of my favourite places to visit..... And the winners of the Pay it Forward Giveaway!!

Now it's time to let you know a little bit more about me and the things I like.....

I love to travel, if I could I would do it all the time!!! I like all the places I've visited so far, among them Berlin, London, several places in Spain, Germany and Italy. But ofcourse I have some favourites..... My favourite city to visit is Paris and my favourite province/country is Ontario, Canada. It's been so long since I've actually been to them, but with a little luck I'll be making trips to both of them in 2009.... !!!

My love for Canada started 11 years ago: I was 18, turning 19, and visited Ontario, Canada for an International Youth Exchange Camp of the Lions. My I turned 19 during my visit and my hostfamily was so sweet: they had actually ordered a birthdaycake for me!!

Since then I have been back twice, the last time was about 7 years ago shortly after Lisa moved to Waterloo. Then 5 years ago Lisa came to visit me with her friend Andrea.

Now I have booked my plane ticket and I will be visiting them in June 2009!

I'll be going to Canada for two weeks in which I would like to stay one week in the proximity of Waterloo, where Lisa lives, and for the other week I want to rent a car and drive up to Montreal.

On the way there I want to stop at a small place called Sainte-Marthe...

I have already visited the beautiful Niagara Falls all the times I've been in Canada,

but probably will go there this time too!!!

If you have some suggestions of places that I should visit, please feel free to mention them here!

My other great love is Paris....

I lived very near to Paris for 6 months when I worked as a hotel receptionist at

Disney's Sequioa Lodge Hotel at Disneyland Paris. During this time I lived in Magny-le-Hongre and tried to visit Paris as often as possible.

It's been almost 7 years since I came back to Holland and I haven't been back since.
I am however planning on going to Paris for a long weekend this year, so when I saw this list of things to do in Paris over at Dorie Greenspans' blog I printed it out immediately!

Again for suggestions feel free to leave me a message!! I have already done the touristic things like visiting the Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur, Montmartre, Notre Dame, etc.

Now on to the most important part of this post: the winners of the Pay it Forward Giveaway.
