Being a stewardess | Brussels center layover & influencer event

11/09/2023 | Reageer

Hi everyone! After years, I enjoyed making a weekly diary again! In any case, influencer events, collaborations and flight attendant layovers are some of the most fun aspects of my ‘professions’ – so I enjoyed making these, like all my posts! This week started on August 31st. [Lees meer…]

Special diary | Beauty and Airline Shoot, Miss World Nederland finalist trip & TV interview

15/12/2020 | 2 Reacties

Hi everyone! Because of this busy and special week, I decided to turn this into an entire blog post. To start this post, I can finally announce that I am a finalist at Miss World Netherlands, so it has been very busy recently. I am lucky that the entire Miss World Netherlands journey has the perfect timing with our low amount of flights in recent months. Every disadvantage has its advantage, and I want to take opportunities where they are – and that was a good move. [Lees meer…]

Food diary | Den Bosch Lunch recommendations part 2

27/08/2020 | Reageer

After the lockdown and when the restaurants/café’s opened up again, I was eager to visit a lot of nice new places in Den Bosch, and that’s why I made a nice food post with some of my favorite places. The photo above is at Frenchie (before the social distancing rule in March), which I mentioned in a post long ago. [Lees meer…]

Week diary | City food event & Airline party weekend

07/07/2019 | 3 Reacties

Hi everyone! Last week was so much fun that I made a kind of “travel diary” in my own country. This is my first “week diary” post, and I might make less than a handful this year. I have listed a number of highlights from the past week, with my favorite photos. In the morning before my last evening flight, Sandra took me to the ‘Korte Putstraat Proeft’ event in my beautiful city Den Bosch, to enjoy with her many dishes that we as influencers were allowed to enjoy – I was happy to be invited by her.

(ChatGPT pic) Should I give pageantry one more chance? 👑 As the first Dutch Miss and Flight Attendant in Dutch history ✈️ 

After competing in most of the biggest pageants in The Netherlands, I honestly thought I was done.

Not because I stopped loving the stage…
But because after years of competing, I had seen enough behind the scenes to make me question whether I still belonged there or in this world ;) 

In 2021 I was supposed to represent my country in Japan. Like so many dreams that year, Covid had other plans.

Since then, I’ve experienced incredible highs, heartbreaking disappointments and moments of injustice (😉) that made me wonder if it was finally time to close this chapter.

But something has changed.

As I’m approaching my 30s, pageantry is finally opening its doors to women beyond their early twenties. And perhaps that’s exactly where my story truly begins.

I’m no longer interested in proving that I’m the prettiest woman in the room.

I want to prove that authenticity is powerful.
That resilience is beautiful.
That using your voice matters.

For years my mission has been standing up against bullying and encouraging others to embrace who they truly are. A project I have seen a lot of other pageant queens do afterwards as well ;)

Maybe that’s the crown I was always meant to wear.

So… should I step onto that stage one more time? 👑

Curious about your thoughts on my pageant veteran period!

The best things that ever happened to me started when;

I stopped waiting. 🌍✨

Some of the most beautiful memories of my life began with a table for one.

What’s one place you’ve always wanted to visit on your own? 🤍

Life moves so fast. These photos aren’t for algorithms - they’re little pieces of a life I never want to forget. If they inspire someone along the way, that’s just a bonus. 🤍✨

One day you’ll realize you were never “too much”. You were just in the wrong place, around the wrong people.

What’s one thing you’ve been told you’re “too much” for? 👇

Embracing Authenticity | Defending Truth on my Miss World (Netherlands) journey in 2021, my core values and mission

Dutch version below – Hello everyone, I would like to share my truth, vision, and story with all of you, including the beliefs I stand for.

The truths and misconceptions about me and my participation in the pageant and standing up for my personal narrative and story. – Celebrate Your Authenticity: My Core Value, Standing up against Bullying, and Self-empowerment. “I signed a contract that does not allow me to be completely open about my experiences with ‘MWNL’. Nevertheless, I want to […]
