Hi everyone! I returned from the trip shown in the photos on the 26th. I traveled to Jordan last minute with an Emirates friend. I was actually going to leave back to Mexico on the same day as I flew to Amman, but due to personal circumstances I unfortunately decided not to go on the trip. When Demi – the Emirates friend in question – and I spent hours on the phone – we decided to fly to Jordan last minute. We both really wanted to go to Petra, which would be my 3rd of the 7 wonders of the world. I made a huge mistake about the climate there and took with me the outfits – such as this dress – that I had originally bought for my return to Mexico. The outfits I brought with me were way too cold and in my own opinion not very neat during Ramadan in the country, so I combined my outfits with shawls or kimonos. The way I wear the dress was only for the photos, because I wore a shawl over my upper body before and after. I wear it like in these pictures during trips to sunny places such as Mexico.

| Reageer

Hi everyone! Welcome to the second part of my travel diary! In this part, I will mainly share with you my days in Tulum, and a few days in Playa del Carmen. My travel diaries are a personal diary and travel portfolio to read for you and for myself to read back and remember everything better. Once again, I would like to share that due to personal circumstances, I kept certain things personal and did not write them in my travel diary. Some memories are for the heart only, too personal or too emotional to share with the world online. This is the case in a few past travel diaries. In this travel diary, I will share my tips and experiences with you from my last trip, I hope you enjoy reading this! Under the tab ‘Travel – Mexico’ you can find all of my previous Mexico trips.

Mexico travel diary (Extra long) | Friend reunion in Tulum & Playa del Carmen – part 1

| Reageer

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another travel diary. I’ve been catching up a lot with my blogging because I didn’t want to be too far behind with my travels and uploads. In this travel post, I am going to share all my experiences from last trip. I would like to say that this trip was the best of all 4 trips to Mexico. That’s why I can’t wait to share my tips and experiences with you. Mexico has become my favorite travel destination after visiting 20 countries. What used to be Japan is now Mexico – and years ago I really didn’t expect that I could love a country almost more than Japan. Mexico is an amazing country for solo travel, delicious food, beautiful nature, meeting international people, working remote and a rich culture. No day of my trip is the same! When I first came to Mexico in May 2022 without expectations, I did not expect that I would be there at least 4 times in just over 1.5 years! Are you reading this story along? First of all, I would like to say that due to personal reasons, I have kept certain things personal and have not written them in my travel diary. Some memories are only for the heart, too personal or too emotional to share online with the world  ♥ [Lees meer…]

I have worn this jumpsuit dozens of times for years – in Outfit Puerto I also wear it in a different way. I think this outfit is super suitable for Tulum, the gold accessories complete it in my opinion. By the way, this is my last Tulum outfit post from this past trip. In any case, there will be 1-2 more travel diaries online from this trip and a travel diary soon from my 2nd foreign layover – Hurgada. I can’t wait to take you along in my travel stories!

Hi everyone! I have had this super cute dress for almost 3 years – but unfortunately it has often hung in the closet because I didn’t have many occasions to wear it. This beautiful dress from Diva Catwalk in size M often went with me in my suitcase, but was often too warm to wear. This time the climate in Tulum was a lot cooler than the normal seasons I go, so I finally had the chance to wear it now. The dress gives me the same idea of the iconic dress of Margot Robbie (Naomi) in The Wolf of Wallstreet. I liked her style in that film so much for years that I wanted to have some of the same looks. The photos were again, taken at Meteora – who I often work with. I received this dress in 2021/22 as a collaboration with Diva Catwalk. In case you want to buy the same dress, it is now hugely discounted! [Lees meer…]

Jewellery Haul | Personalized Finaste jewelry

| Reageer

Hi everyone! This time, a special post. I have a super fun collaboration with Finaste! I regularly buy items from this beautiful jewelry brand – so this time a nice collaboration with them. I chose from the following items in this post – linked at the bottom – because I like luxury/delicate jewelry, and not too many heavy details. These beautiful items are timeless and scream luxury – which I really like. In addition to the luxurious appearance of these beautiful items, the prices are very competitive. I have to say that my preference is often pearls and gold, as this creates a very classy look and suits my skintone best. I’m not into rose, bronze or silver jewelry – only gold and white gold. Of course, Finaste has various colors of jewelry that you can choose from. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone! This is the first time in 9 years of blogging that I’ve made an outfit post with selfies, haha! I love this outfit and this location (Meteora – the boutique hostel I work with) so much that I took mirror pictures of it because I didn’t really have a good opportunity to take pictures of it outside or for someone else to take them to have it made. Funnily enough, this beautiful dress is from Shein! In combination with accessories from Asos. Both the jewelry and shoes. I love this look and have worn it several times in Mexico – the dress also went with me to Thailand last year. I notice that I want to buy less and less and want to combine more and style differently – and that is why there will be more ‘double’ outfit posts. I sometimes get nice items sponsored + I am grateful to have saved up so much clothing that I want to be much more frugal with it and increasingly prefer to focus on clothing that I can wear for a long time. I like clothes that remain nice for years rather than items that quickly go ‘out of fashion’ – although I always like to follow my own style without necessarily going along with what is a big trend.I think this chic boho look is a look that I like to wear to parties or dinners in Tulum. I think red and gold is a very nice combination. [Lees meer…]

Every time I come to Mexico I evolve. It feels like the place where my soul comes home and I feel the most confident, happy, grateful and powerful version of myself. Tulum is a place with a lot of magic and surprises that always come to mind when I follow my heart and go back. Cheers to the fact that this 4th time here won’t be my last. It is now my second home. Grateful for the fantastic network I have built here and how this place has become a second home for me since 2022. Whatever the circumstances and whatever comes my way – I haven’t let it stop me from going back, because the universe rewards those with a brave soul. In Tulum, I have the ultimate feeling of being myself. In my style, life and self. I also always wear my favorite outfits in Tulum. By the way, this beautiful location is Meteora Tulum – the boutique hostel I have been working with for a long time and was able to stay during my Tulum visit. Perfect location for photos!

Outfit | Hurgada

Hi everyone! For the first time in 4 years, I had an airline layover abroad. So far, in 6 years as a flight attendant, I have only stayed abroad twice for work (I don’t count Brussels). Many people think that all the travelling, as seen on my Instagram – is travelling as a flight attendant. The trips I post are trips that I mainly do because of the discount I get on tickets, but not for work. And secretly, I think staying abroad is the best part of flying – so it was great that it was on my roster for once. By the way, I crossed my 20th country off my list! I do not include the destinations that I only fly to/open for work, so 18 of the 20 countries are countries that I have not visited for work.
