Canada travel diary | 8 day solo & family trip in and around Toronto

| 2 Reacties

Hi everyone! It’s time for a new travel diary. A few weeks ago, I travelled to Canada – a country high on my wish list. I wanted to visit the beautiful nature, lakes and hiking areas, but the reason for my visit this time was for something else. I have family living in Canada who come to the Netherlands every 2-3 years, and by now a lot of travel friends in and around Toronto and other places in Canada. Enough reasons to visit the country! I only planned a short visit, so I would spend 4 nights with my family, and 4 in Toronto. I will definitely tell more about this adventure in this travel diary. Canada always attracted me very much, because the people I click with the best when travelling, are often the Canadians. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone! I haven’t made any content for a long time due to circumstances, but slowly there is some light at the end of the tunnel! My body shape changed this year, so I try to get the old one back and adapt to it right now. My best friend Jeremy took pictures again that I really needed to feel better about myself. I received this beautiful dress from The Pretty Dress Company, who I often work with. I love old money and classy styling, so this dress fits perfectly in my wardrobe. In addition, it is timeless, so it will stay beautiful for a long time. I am wearing the Lola in Ivory here, but UK8/EU36. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone! Earlier this month I finally did something fun with my sweet Miss Netherlands for Miss World friend Dilay. We haven’t seen each other for over 1.5 years! How time flies. Luckily she lives close to me – in Eindhoven, so it was only a relatively short drive from Den Bosch. She also took these fun pictures at the place where we had lunch!

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

| 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)

| 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…]

Hoi allemaal! Weer een nieuwe outfit van mijn bezoek aan Brussel afgelopen maand om mijn Emirates vriendin Demi te bezoeken. In deze outfit voel ik mij superkrachtig! Ik droeg deze jumpsuit voor het eerst tijdens een werkfeestje vorig jaar, en wilde hem al bijna een jaar lang op de foto zetten. Helaas heb ik niet heel veel kansen gehad om het op een leuke, toepasselijke plek vast te leggen of te dragen.

Two weeks ago, I surprised my good friend Demi in Brussels! Demi lives in Dubai and works for Emirates, so we don’t see each other often. Her friend Robin, who works at the airport, came up with the idea to surprise Demi. He devised a plan where a friend would pretend to take photos of Demi at a spot in Brussels she had always wanted to visit.
