Start Here

Tassie Devil Abroad is a blog about the adventures of a girl from small-town Tasmania living in the Netherlands, but it is also more than that. It is a place for devilish travellers to get inspired by amazing destinations, read about weird and wacky attractions, as well as find tips and tricks for travel, expat life, and more.

I write about

I mainly write about travel in the Netherlands and the surrounding parts of Europe as well as destinations in Australia since we return regularly. Since I live in the Netherlands I am taking advantage of my ability to see as much of the country as possible, and show readers that there’s a lot more to it than just Amsterdam (although I have quite a few guides on Amsterdam as well)!

Meet the team

Technically, Tassie Devil Abroad is my (Kristy’s) baby, but I don’t do everything by myself. I do all the writing of the blog posts, all the social media and newsletters, but my husband and our cats also help! Here’s the rest of the team:

Dennis

Developer

Luckily my Dutch husband is very good with tech stuff, as he hosts my website and does all the coding in the background. Whenever anything goes wrong on the website I can count on him to figure it out and fix it – something I probably would never be able to do on my own. He’s also nearly always my travel partner/chauffeur, getting dragged along to all the places I want to see and then taking any photos I want with me in it! He doesn’t like to be in front of the camera, but you may catch a picture of him here and there throughout the website.

Grim

Quality Control

Grim is always on hand to bless (rub his face on) anything we need, and he often sits on Dennis while he’s coding to help/supervise/make sure everything is up to ‘scratch.’

Luna

Distribution

I wish I could say the distribution of information but it’s mostly hair, she gets it everywhere…

Zaphod

Chief Morale Officer

Zaphod makes sure we never get lonely while working, often yelling at and tapping us to let us know he wants to sit on someone’s lap.

Louie

Editor/Assistant to the CEO

When Louie was younger he would often sit in front of the computer with me to watch me work/proofread my posts, but now he mostly offers moral support from his hammock beside me.

What you’ll find here

• Inspiration and information on places to visit to curb your appetite for all things geeky, nerdy or fangirly.

• Insider tips and itineraries for the places I have the most insight into (having lived there): London, The Netherlands and Tasmania.

• Useful information about moving abroad and living as an expat in London and the Netherlands.

What you won’t find here

• Anything about being a digital nomad or travelling non-stop. Simply because I’ve never done it but perhaps in the future we might.

• Luxury travel – maybe one day if we get rich enough! 😉

If you’re looking to move overseas then you might like to use my How To Move Abroad guides to get started; I have one for London and one for the Netherlands.
