Outfit | Osaka

27/11/2019 | 1 Reactie

The place where I am standing here is called Dotonbori. This place is known for the large “Glico Man” that you can see behind me. This is probably also the most touristic photo spot of Osaka, haha. Together with Yuka and her mother, I started exploring Osaka about halfway through my 14-day Japan trip this year. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Tokyo

22/11/2019 | 1 Reactie

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

Portugal Travel Diary | 4 day Lisbon girls trip

07/11/2019 | Reageer

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. [Lees meer…]

It changed my life.

Not because of the beaches, the sunsets, or the endless tacos.

Mexico taught me that life can be bigger than the version I was settling for.

It was the first place that showed me freedom doesnโ€™t come from having everything figured out, it comes from trusting yourself enough to take the next step.

It gave me lifelong friendships, unforgettable adventures, confidence I didnโ€™t know I had, and the courage to build a life that feels like mine.

I arrived as someone looking for a holiday.

I left with a completely different perspective on what was possible.

And honestly?

A part of me never really came back. ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝโœจ

POV: You spent your 20s in beauty competitions.

People see the gowns, the crowns, the photos and the stage.

What they donโ€™t see are the early mornings, the self-doubt, the courage it takes to keep showing up, and the growth that happens long after the spotlight fades.

My twenties taught me that beauty competitions were never really about beauty.

They were about finding my voice.
About learning confidence.
About standing on a stage when I was terrified.
About representing causes I care about.
About inspiring others to embrace who they are.

I had the honor of competing in:

โœจ Miss World
โœจ Miss Universe
โœจ Miss Grand International
โœจ Miss Cosmo
โœจ Miss International (selected to represent the Netherlands internationally, later cancelled due to COVID)

The titles were never the biggest reward.

The friendships, lessons, resilience, opportunities, and the woman I became along the way will always mean more than any crown ever could.

To the younger version of me who dreamed of standing on those stages: we did it. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Gone (solo) travelling ๐Ÿ˜œ

One day theyโ€™ll look for the version of you that was always there.

The version they took for granted.

And by then, youโ€™ll be gone.

Whatโ€™s the hardest lesson something taught you without meaning to?

Beautiful villa @villa_hunab_ku ๐ŸŒด

One day I realized:

I wasnโ€™t afraid of being and travelling alone.

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

So I booked the flight. โœˆ๏ธ

Whatโ€™s something youโ€™ve been waiting for?

Based on facts ๐ŸŒดโœˆ๏ธ 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? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Mini cut from last weekend in Marbella

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.
