Mexico travel diary (extra long) | One month back to Tulum part 1

24/01/2026 | Reageer

Hi everyone! Welcome to a new travel diary ✨This was already my 9th time in Mexico, and honestly… it’s starting to feel like coming home. My days here have slowly become more like “daily life,” which makes this place even more special to me. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone 🤍 Welcome to another new outfit post! During my trip through Mexico, I took so many photos that I decided to separate my outfit shoots from my travel diaries – otherwise, they would have gotten endless. These photos were again taken at Villa Hunab-Ku in Tulum (which, by the way, you can also find several blog posts about). Many were shot in the beautiful Zen Room – the villa’s Japanese-style room. That space alone is magical.

Hi everyone! 🤍 Last November–December, I spent a month back in my lovely Mexico – still my favorite place on earth. And combined with my new camera… well, it got a bit out of hand. I seriously took over 1,000 photos. So many, in fact, that I’ve decided to share my outfits and photos in separate blog posts as much as possible. I’m going back soon, and honestly, I haven’t even had enough time to post all my travel diaries yet.

Hi everyone! Just a quick Mexico outfit post before my next travel diaries go live. Since I became a travel blogger, I’ve been trying not to forget my outfit posts. I love making them, and a lot of people follow me, and always have, for that content – ​​so I’ll definitely keep doing that 😊 The Mexico travel diaries (and even Madrid) are still coming! I’ve just been so busy that the Guatemala travel posts took priority. [Lees meer…]

Guatemala Travel Diary | Solo trip to Guatemala (Lake Atitlan)

07/01/2026 | 1 Reactie

Hi everyone! Welcome to my latest Guatemala post. In this blog post, I’ll tell you about my four-day stay at Lake Atitlan. Subtle foreshadowing: one of my favorite destinations ever! I had a partnership with the Free Cerveza hostel in Santa Cruz. A small disclaimer: 80% of the photos in this blog post are from my own (and recently brand-new) camera or phone, and 20% were taken by Luz. [Lees meer…]

Guatemala Travel Diary | Solo trip to Guatemala (Antigua)

05/01/2026 | 1 Reactie

Hi everyone 🤍Welcome back to a new travel diary. This time I’m taking you with me to a destination that had been high on my list for a very long time: Guatemala. And honestly? Now that I’ve been there, I don’t understand why it took me so long. Antigua is also a UNESCO World Heritage city, and you really feel that when you’re there. The colorful colonial buildings, cobblestone streets, historic churches, and the surrounding volcanoes give the city a timeless atmosphere, as if the past and present exist side by side. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, look around, and really take it all in. [Lees meer…]

No one is more alive than the girl making up for the years she lost in survival mode. ✨

I turned 30 knowing exactly what I want from life - I’m just not there yet. I was there years ago, but the bar changed. 

I’ve worked since I was 21, my dream job at that time, but haven’t landed my long-haul dream yet. I’ve never had the long, safe love I want. I still live at home during a housing crisis.

And yes, my Instagram is a highlight reel. Every beautiful moment I share is real - but so are the parts you don’t see.

People sometimes tell me not to share the struggles because “people enjoy seeing you fail.” But those people occupy so little space in my mind that I genuinely forget they exist.

I’d rather be real.

So while I’m building the life I actually want, I’m not waiting to start living. I travel the world alone, chase experiences, meet people, create, dream and collect memories along the way.

I know where I want to go. I’m just not there yet.
And I refuse to call the journey there a failure. 🤍🌎

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 […]
