Being a Stewardess | 3 day Dubai Layover

| Leave a Comment

Welcome to my first layover diary and my second Stewardess post! As I have told in my other post, my work is my passion and I like to share some nice things about it. About a week and a half ago I was allowed to go to Dubai for 3 days with a nice crew from Amsterdam. I already knew my cabin crew colleagues from Eindhoven and Amsterdam, so that was of course extra fun. Dubai had long been on my wish list. The airline where I work mainly has ‘turnarounds’ so a ‘stop’ is of course a very nice extra for a lot of people and many people certainly live up to it like me. In September I also had a nice layover in the city of Groningen. [Read more…]

A few days ago I had my first layover abroad. Dubai is a cool city! I was able to spend 3 days with a nice crew and one of my very best friends who lives an hour from Dubai. Where I am standing is at La Mer, where we have had lunch with the girls on the recommendation of my good friend Roos. This nice dress is well suited for around 20 degrees. Since it would be around 20 degrees in Dubai at the time I would visit, I thought it would be great to take it to this city. [Read more…]

Hi everyone! Best wishes for 2020! The holidays are over so quickly. This year I had the luxury of being off during Christmas (exept on Christas eve) after a long Canarian flight on Christmas Eve. And I was called out of standby for an Canarian flight during the last day of 2019, which allowed me to celebrate New Years Eve at home on the couch with my parents. On this 1st day of Januari – I cannot be allocated for one day due to my long morning flight yesterday, so I am off. I hope you also had lovely holidays.

Less than 2 weeks left and then it’s Christmas. Time flies! This entire week, the last of my “peak / off-peak” period, was incredibly fun. I have done super nice things this whole week, especially with work friends. Yesterday we participated in the recording of the Stewardess dance of the ‘All you need is love – Christmas special’ at Schiphol Airport (Amsterdam). [Read more…]

Japan travel diary | Solo trip to Japan part 1

| Leave a Comment

In November I left for Japan for 14 days. Just like me in 2018, I had set out on my own. I had booked the direct KLM flights via crew standby travel. After a 10.5 hour flight, I left to the city the same way as last year, with the Narita express – a direct train connection to central Tokyo at Narita Airport station. The costs for a return trip are 4000 yen (around 28 euros) – For the standby/crew members among us, you can also use the return ticket for another day, should your plans change within 14 days.

Hi everyone! Japan was really a wonderful solo trip. I have experienced so much, got wonderful new memories and met many people. Soon I will place a lot of travel diaries from my last 3 trips. Where I stand here is in Shibuya on a high viewpoint. I am really happy with how the pictures have turned out. These photos were taken by Anita, with whom I went to lunch this day. [Read more…]

Portugal Travel Diary | 4 day Lisbon girls trip

| Leave a Comment

At the end of October I had been to Lisbon with a friend from my former study International Business (IBS). We were planning to visit a friend of ours who is studying there for a few months. Yanneke and I flew (standby) to Lisbon. This 4 day trip is for me number 4 of 2019 and my 3rd time in Lisbon. As I have said in many posts, Lisbon is my favorite city trip destination in Europe so far. The many colorful streets with sweet little restaurants keep surprising me. The follow up cities are Valencia and Porto for me. In 2015 I went there as a study trip (and during that time, my “cabin crew dreams” started). In 2017 I went there solo. [Read more…]
