Marianne Crone divides her time between her home in the Netherlands and an apartment in Prague, the city where her son, daughter-in-law and grandson live.
Now retired, Marianne is still an avid traveler and when she is not on a trip, she is planning the next one. She always has a bag packed, ready for the next adventure – a cycle trip to Prague, Paris or winter sun in Goa, India.
In addition to traveling and writing about it, Marianne likes photography, learning languages and not having a car. She does not drive, only rides her bicycle and takes public transport wherever she goes.
