STORIES • THE BONVIA JOURNAL
Bonvia Stories
Stories to lose yourself in a little longer.
Some places stay with you, some flavours bring back memories, and some small discoveries change the way you see the world. In Stories, they come together in words, images and ideas that invite you to pause and look a little closer.
01 · EDITOR’S PICKS
Some stories deserve a little more time.
A selection of remarkable places, personal discoveries and stories that take you somewhere else. Sometimes a story begins with a journey; sometimes with a memory, an encounter or something small that catches your eye.

Danse Macabre: The Day the Haunted Castle Returned
When Efteling’s Haunted Castle disappeared, an old childhood memory seemed lost. Years later, Danse Macabre brought its music, mystery and magic back to life.
02 · THE CREATIVE ATELIER
The art of seeing and making.
Behind every story lies a way of seeing. A detail that catches your eye, an image that stays with you, words that slowly find their place. Here, I explore photography, writing and the creative process — through experimentation, discovery and sharing what I learn along the way.
03 / The Art of Listening
Feel the sound. Savour the moment. Let the music speak.
Music, memories and the art of listening. From a favourite album on vinyl to a playlist on Spotify, a portable radio or a carefully chosen sound system, discover the many ways music can shape a mood, bring back a memory and make an ordinary moment feel special.
There is more to discover.
Bonvia is made up of four worlds, each with its own atmosphere and stories to get lost in. From distant roads and the kitchen to movement, craftsmanship and the pleasures of everyday life closer to home.
