Indonesia travel diary (extra long) | 3 week solo trip to Bali – part 3 (Ubud)

14/07/2024 | Reageer

Hi everyone! This part of my travel diary is extra long, because it contains my entire extensive return journey, but also a lot of photos, because Ubud was the place where I planned most activities and wanted to take photos. What really appeals to me about Ubud, is also the fact that in my experience it is more the ‘authentic’ Bali, without beach and sea – but many rice fields, nature and waterfalls. I am excited to tell you about my experiences here! Will you read along? [Lees meer…]

Indonesia travel diary | 3 week solo trip to Bali – part 2 (Uluwatu)

08/07/2024 | Reageer

After an incredibly long Grab ride of over 3 hours for just 38 kilometers – yes, Bali traffic is truly no joke – I finally arrived in Uluwatu late in the afternoon. I had booked Karma Backpackers hostel, one of the few options here. It immediately struck me that everything here is a bit more expensive than in Canggu: food, drinks, and even parties. Although it’s still cheaper than in the Netherlands, budgeting is a tiny bit more necessary here. Uluwatu is known for its beautiful beaches, luxury beach clubs, and relaxed atmosphere. [Lees meer…]

Indonesia travel diary | 3 week solo trip to Bali – part 1 (Canggu)

07/07/2024 | Reageer

Hi everyone! This past May, I had an amazing trip of over three weeks to Bali. Bali had been on my bucket list for a long time, and thanks to my flying colleagues, I found out that flying IPB via Dubai was quite doable. So, I decided to take the IPB route AMS-DXB-DPS with Emirates. [Lees meer…]

Hey allemaal! Dit is mijn laatste Bali-outfitpost en ik ben super enthousiast om jullie binnenkort mee te nemen in mijn reisdagboeken! Er komen spannende verhalen aan over mijn avonturen in Canggu, Uluwatu en Ubud – elk een uniek stukje van Bali. Deze foto’s zijn gemaakt door een geweldige nieuwe reisvriendin uit Australië, die ik heb ontmoet in ons gezellige hostel Kuna, midden in het prachtige Ubud.

Hi allemaal! Het is inmiddels precies drie weken geleden dat ik terugkwam van mijn avontuurlijke reis naar Bali. Het is bijna onvoorstelbaar hoe snel de tijd vliegt; het voelt alsof ik er maanden geleden was. Terwijl ik door mijn foto’s blader, word ik weer helemaal teruggevoerd naar die magische momenten.

Last month I had a magical day in Ubud, Bali. In my dress, specially bought for Bali, I felt completely at home while I first explored a beautiful waterfall. The enchanting surroundings were breathtakingly beautiful and gave me a sense of peace and wonder.

(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? 👇
