How it started

It all started in New York City on August, 9th 2012. During a holiday with my family I caught a flu and stayed in bed at the Soho Grand Hotel while my wife and the kids explored the city. To comfort me, they bought two New York souvernirs: a New York City Icon Series mug and Relief Series mug. And soon the flu virus was replaced by a collection virus. My next trip was to Germany, and I bought a Germany, Köln and Aachen Icon Series mug. Back in the Netherlands I fell for the Amsterdam and the Netherlands Icon Series mugs. From then on family, friends and colleagues brought along mugs from different destinations. I traded mugs via the internet and planned holidays to cities with interesting mugs.
