Archief voor oktober 2019

Outfit | Mint

30/10/2019 | 1 Reactie

Lisbon is my favorite city trip destination in Europe as I have probably told you before. The colorful streets and all those cute places keep surprising me. I bought this cute dot dress in sale at Loavies. I wanted to bring a nice new dress to Lisbon last minute, so I chose this one. Where I am standing here, is at Pink Street near Cais do Sodre. This colored street is a hotspot in Lisbon, where many people take pictures. [Lees meer…]

A few days ago I was in Lisbon – trip number 4 of 2019. I went to Lisbon with a school friend for 4 days to visit another school friend – this was, by the way, my 3rd time in Lisbon. Lisbon genuinely remains my favorite European city alongside my home town. (By the way, I didn’t notice the mop until I was editing, haha.) I ordered this pink dress at Godly. When I arrived from chilly Netherlands in way warmer Portugal, I replaced my tights and sneakers with my favorite travel shoes. By the way – Yanneke took the pictures of this outfit at one of the cute narrow streets near our Airbnb. [Lees meer…]

Turkey Travel Diary | 4 day special solo trip to Istanbul

20/10/2019 | 1 Reactie

This travel diary is a very special and personal one, the title says Solo, but I was not alone. I was very curious about my partial ‘roots’ and lovely family members that I never or haven’t seen in the last 20 years. I went to see them on my own in Istanbul. After the sudden death of my grandfather in early 2019, which I was actually going to see in real life for the first time this year (we had facetime contact every now and then, telephone contact and he spoke Dutch), I decided to fly to Istanbul during my vacation, less than half a day after I came back from Valencia, from Eindhoven airport.

Spain Travel Diary | Second 3 day trip to Valencia

18/10/2019 | Reageer

At the end of last month I went to Valencia for the second time. This beautiful city remains a nice hotspot in my eyes for sea, city, shopping and delicious food. I went there with a colleague. We arrived halfway through the afternoon and went there by Standby seats (flying for a reduced price for flight attendants). The first day was relaxed. After the flight we decided to change clothes and head for the boulevard to eat and drink for a long time. [Lees meer…]

This is the outfit of the last day in Valencia. I really liked this lace dress for this summer. I also often saw it in all kinds of colors. I often combine this dress with my most beautiful black bag, black sandal heels and Josh V earrings. Next week I will go to the next destination: Lisbon! [Lees meer…]

I wore this outfit on the first day in Valencia. It was very easy to change this from an autumn outfit to a summer outfit. You might have seen this black dress in so many outfit posts, because it can be worn in so many ways! The Furla bag makes it a little more summery. [Lees meer…]

I have already been back for 3 days from a whole week of traveling. First I went to Valencia for 3 days, where I went last year as well – and I went to Istanbul for 4 days after that to visit my aunts. I bought this dress in the sale of Godly – great for a city trip like this. Travel posts soon! [Lees meer…]

Gone (solo) travelling 😜

One day they’ll look for the version of you that was always there.

The version they took for granted.

And by then, you’ll be gone.

What’s the hardest lesson something taught you without meaning to?

Beautiful villa @villa_hunab_ku 🌴

One day I realized:

I wasn’t afraid of being and travelling alone.

I was afraid of losing my life while waiting for someone else.

So I booked the flight. ✈️

What’s something you’ve been waiting for?

Based on facts 🌴✈️ Can you relate?

"What do you like to do for fun?"

Leave the country.

New places, new people, new stories.
Every single time.

At what point does it stop being a hobby and become a personality trait? 😂

Mini cut from last weekend in Marbella

Guatemala, one of the most heartwarming places I’ve experienced so far. A destination that still crosses my mind almost daily. And now in my top 5 favorites.

After being lucky enough to solo travel to so many beautiful places around the world, Guatemala instantly became one of the places that touched me the most.

The people, the atmosphere, the volcanoes, Lake Atitlán, the coffee, the food, UNESCO Antigua… this country has a soul that is difficult to describe unless you’ve experienced it yourself.

I met beautiful humans I still speak to from time to time, and I’m grateful to now call some incredible Guatemalans my friends.

I travelled here with my new camera, and I’m so thankful I was able to capture parts of this beautiful country through my own eyes, while also collaborating with amazing companies along the way.

I remember my eyes being teary while being on a boat at Lake Atitlan, and the moment I saw the Volcano erupt during the hike - one of the most challenging things I have ever done. 

Some places impress you.
Others stay with you.
Guatemala did both. 🌋🇬🇹

Pictures by me using my Sony Alpha A6100 + portrait lens, and @luzd_23 📸

Gracias @freecerveza for the awesome stay! & @lavatrails.gt for the AMAZING hike!

Wait for the end! ✈️ 
Some women wait for love to start living.
I booked the ticket anyway. 

Some of the most beautiful moments of my life happened because I stopped waiting, for permission, for certainty, for someone to come with me.

Solo travelling taught me that freedom can be lonely sometimes, but also deeply empowering. It gave me sunsets in countries I once only dreamed about, strangers that became memories, confidence I never learned at home, and versions of myself I would’ve never met if I stayed safe.

I may not have everything figured out yet, but I’ve lived. Deeply. Wildly. Internationally.
And honestly? That already makes me rich in life.

I know it’s not a possibility for every woman in the world to do this. Something travel also showed me over and over again.
