Hi loves, It’s been a little while since my last blog post. Medellín is still waiting behind the scenes (I promise it’s coming!), but first I wanted to share a little life update. Since a while, I’m not posting travel content as regularly — because I’m fully focusing on something very special: Miss Grand Netherlands. [Lees meer…]
Hi everyone, and welcome back to another Mexico travel diary! I know it might seem like I never go anywhere else, but when you fall in love with a place that feels like home—like Tulum does for me—you’ll understand why I keep coming back. This trip was a last-minute decision with no set plans, and by saying ‘yes’ to almost everything that crossed my path, it turned out to be one of my absolute favorite Mexico adventures so far. I met beautiful new people, made unforgettable memories, and I can’t wait to share it all with you.[Lees meer…]
This special shoot took place at the magical Vesica Cenote — a hidden gem in the jungle where water, light, and stillness come together. I felt deeply connected to myself and nature in this place. I’m wearing a beautiful bikini from Berlook, gifted to me through a lovely collaboration. I’m not posting this as a formal portfolio shoot, but more as a look, a feeling, a captured moment.

Hi everyone! 2 weeks ago I had a super nice collaboration with Hotel Babel in Tulum. At this place I was able to make a lot of super nice outfit photos and content. The reason I was already back in Tulum – was because I had 4 weeks off, and was actually going to travel to Guatemala. Due to the festive week around Easter all flights were overbooked – I heard that again afterwards from someone else who wanted to do the same. I had to make a decision within 48 hours to go on a trip, otherwise I would have wasted my entire holiday period. I decided to go to Medellin a 2nd time, and then on to Tulum again. Despite there being only a month between the two times Mexico, I had a great time! [Lees meer…]
Hi everyone! My best friend Jeremy has taken some cool pictures in my beautiful city of Den Bosch. Lately I have been creating a lot of content, also because I am now participating in the Prestige Miss Grand (Netherlands) election. I represent my beautiful city of Den Bosch – so it is really fun to create a lot of new content here too. I am also very happy that I am participating in this election, because I had decided after an extremely tough year like last year, that I would take all the chances of the things I always wanted to do. This election feels like coming home and I like to be able to show a more extravagant side of myself compared to Miss World, for example. [Lees meer…]
This was officially my shortest trip to Mexico ever — just 5 nights over the span of 6.5 days. And yet… it felt like coming home. I know what you’re thinking: “You flew across the world for just a few days?” But for me, Mexico isn’t just a destination. It’s a feeling. A memory. A part of me. [Lees meer…]
Hi everyone! This look is from last month when my good friend Demi came to Amsterdam for a day on her Emirates layover. It was so much fun to see her, and even though she lives in Dubai and I live in the Netherlands – we still see each other regularly every x amount of months. That day we went to lunch together at the ‘nine streets’ at a place called Pluk Amsterdam – great recommendation! Afterwards we walked around together and took some nice pictures. If you are looking for a nice place in Amsterdam, I definitely recommend the ‘negen straatjes’!
When I found out that, due to the new organization and my age, I had one last chance to compete in Miss Universe Netherlands (Miss Universe Noord-Brabant), I knew I had to take it. After two incredibly challenging years, I had promised myself that 2025 would be the year I took the leap—grabbing every opportunity that brings me closer to my dreams and to change my life. What made this competition extra special was that I once again achieved a milestone. I became the first-ever active Dutch flight attendant to compete as a finalist for an international beauty pageant crown—and in 2020/2021, I did the same at the Dutch Miss World. As the only and first active flight attendant (in the Netherlands and at my airline) to accomplish this, I proudly broke barriers in the industry, paving the way for those who may follow in my footsteps. I am officially the first Miss and Stewardess in the Netherlands.[Lees meer…]
After weeks filled with adventures, collaborations, and unforgettable encounters, it’s time for the third and final part of my travel blog. Returning to Tulum always feels like coming home—a place I constantly crave and where I’ve built favorite rituals and must-visit spots.

From laid-back beach days and vibrant markets to the best burritos and must-stay hostels—these are the places that truly made my journey unforgettable. Ready to join me on this final adventure?
