Colombia travel diary | Back to Medellín

| Reageer

Hi everyone, welcome back to a new travel blog! This time, I’m taking you to Colombia in April. It’s been six months since this trip, but I really wanted to share it — it still feels special. It was my second time in Colombia, a country that keeps calling me back. My first solo trip there in 2022 was one of the best I’ve ever had, and I just knew I’d return one day. [Lees meer…]

This morning – day 8 – I flew back to CTG with Avianca. I wanted to be back early for my KLM friend Ilona. She had requested a layover to go on the road with me. We decided to go to Movich hotel together to see the nice view in Cartagena. The weather was very disappointing today and there was massive flooding on the street. After some pictures at Movich, we went for lunch somewhere in the old center. We couldn’t go anywhere because of the weather! In the end we went for a drink at Townhouse Rooftop – a nice place I’ve been to before. [Lees meer…]

I would like to tell you how I experienced this place in this post. I do want to reveal that I soon regretted having only stayed here for a 3 day trip! [Lees meer…]

Colombia travel diary | solo trip to Colombia part 1

Hi everyone! My solo trip to Colombia was really fantastic. During my trip to Mexico, I got inspired by others to take this Colombia trip. I regularly saw cool things from Cartagena on social media and from others, so decided to plan this trip. I am a down to earth person who is not easily scared, but when I found out that I would arrive at my destination in the dark, I got really scared. Especially after I read that it is best not to walk around in the dark on your own, let alone with beautiful jewelry, your phone or other expensive things. I would like to tell you how this journey went in these posts. Long story short – It was fantastic! [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Ultimo

This post is the last outfit post I upload from Colombia. With my next trip coming up, I try to put all my travel posts online as soon as possible. I have worn this outfit quite a few times while traveling there, which is why they are not the same in every photo. I think this really is in the top 5 of my favorite travel outfits from this year. The end of the year is not so far from now, but I still have 3 beautiful trips planned. For the 4th time to Lisbon, 3rd time to Valencia and for the second time to Mexico. Very excited! These photos were taken at hotel Movich rooftop and in the historic center of Cartagena. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Getsemani

In the meantime I have not even been back for 10 days from my beautiful Colombia trip. I did this outfit shoot together with Karmen Cartagena – this is also really my favorite outfit from Cartagena and I think it fits perfectly with this place. These photos were taken in beautiful Getsemani. If you are looking for a nice photographer during your trip to Cartagena, I highly recommend her. I did this shoot during my last day in Cartagena. I wanted to have guaranteed good photos of my solo trip. I got about 20% off the original price on this shoot, as a partial collaboration. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Cartagena

This outfit is from my first full day in Cartagena. It was so much fun! This day I went to explore Getsemani with people I met in my hostel. This trip was so very nice. It was even better than my expectations! I have met countless wonderful people from all over the world, all with their own beautiful story. I can’t wait to see some of them again one day somewhere in the world. The people you get to know often make the journey. For those who regularly ask – the photos are taken by other solo travelers I get to know and give some instructions about my camera. [Lees meer…]

The moment I post this, I have been back from Colombia for almost a day. I also had a new travel friend take these photos in the beautiful streets of Getsemani – Colombia. During my trip to Mexico, I was inspired by stories from other travelers to take a trip to Colombia. This is now also my 10th solo trip! I can’t wait to take you in many posts about this beautiful destination soon. I went all alone, so no group tour, no organized tour – no! In advance, I only booked the (standby) flights and hostels. Sometimes I even leave a few days open to see at which locations I would like to spend the nights and visit later. I received this nice skort during a previous collaboration with Tess V. In Colombia, many places are very colorful, so I like to show off the colors in my outfits! [Lees meer…]
