Countries and flags

On this page you can find information about all countries in the world. Think of the flag, capital, national anthem (which you can also listen to), language(s), local time, etc. In the Netherlands section, you can also find more information about the provinces of the Netherlands and the Wadden Islands, which also indicates whether I have already visited these places. Are you curious about which other places in the world I have been to? Then take a look at the world map. Do you want to know how I experienced the journey (towards) there? Then read my travel blog!

Wadden Islands

In addition to the mainland, the Netherlands also has the Wadden Islands. These islands extend from the Netherlands to Denmark, but five of these islands belong to the Netherlands. In the correct order, these are Texel, Vlieland, Terschelling, Ameland and Schiermonnikoog. An easy way to remember these names in the correct order is by using the mnemonic "TVTAS" (it translates to the non-existing word "tv bag"), the first letters of the names of the five islands.
