Brazil travel diary | One week in Rio de Janeiro

| Reageer

Hi everyone! Last month, I traveled to Brazil for the first time. I met a friend in Tulum last year, who I kept in touch with almost daily from then on. Brazil started to tickle my ‘wanderlust’ more and more. In this travel diary I have typed up all my travel tips and ‘diaries’ from my days in Brazil for you. [Lees meer…]

Thailand travel diary | 6 days in Krabi, Phangnga & Phuket part 2

| Reageer

Welcome back to Part 2! I knew it was rain season, but I didn’t expect how extremely rainy it would be this whole trip. Minor spoiler; the rest of the journey was nothing but incessant rain! So take the rainy season in July seriously. Basically, we could do almost nothing today. This post is mainly pictures of the few things we could do, because we were literally ‘stuck’ in the rain. Furthermore, I think Thailand is a beautiful country with incredibly warm, sweet people! The hospitality and safety here are very nice. [Lees meer…]

Being a stewardess | Brussels center layover & influencer event

| Reageer

Hi everyone! After years, I enjoyed making a weekly diary again! In any case, influencer events, collaborations and flight attendant layovers are some of the most fun aspects of my ‘professions’ – so I enjoyed making these, like all my posts! This week started on August 31st. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Palais

| Reageer

I love Lavish Alice so much! Unfortunately, not a single item in my huge wardrobe of their items is a collaboration. I have been loyally buying items from them for over 4 years, and mainly at a discount, on sale or via vinted! I also got this beauty in the sale. Since the weather was going to be nice in Brussels during my layover, I decided to pack it! Never miss a chance to dress nicely, right? :-). By the way, I was finally – for the 6th time in 6 years as a flight attendant – on a layover. So far I have been to Groningen once, Dubai once and Brussels 4 times, including these 3 days.

Croatia travel diary | 48 hours in Dubrovnik

| Reageer

Two months ago I went to Dubrovnik in Croatia with a friend from work. We both flew standby from Rotterdam to Dubrovnik in the evening. Although we would have less than 48 hours in Croatia, I expected to be able to do everything easily in a small town like this. I was hoping to feel the same vibe as in Split two years ago in this place. I honestly thought Split was one of my best ‘city trips’ in a long time. To tell you in advance – Croatia is now a euro country, so keep in mind that partly because of this and in any case in recent years, prices have risen enormously and it is no longer cheap. We only found out about this during the trip itself, because I thought I could eat, drink and move around just fine with about 40-50 euros per day.. since I am not someone who – apart from a collab – wants/needs a 3 cours dinner every day.

Thailand travel diary | Solo trip to Bangkok part 1

| Reageer

A few weeks ago I went on a trip to Bangkok. I felt strongly that this was going to be an amazing trip. Originally, I would go on a 6-7 day trip with my best friend Roos, who lives in Abu Dhabi – but this felt too short for me. In 3 years time, I have seen Roos in real life for 4 hours – which was in Dubai last April by ‘sort of’ coincidence. From her departure station Abu Dhabi, it is about 6 hours flying time and from Amsterdam 12 hours straight. Because of the longer distance, I wanted to stay for more days than that anyway. Due to the 2 hour delay on my working flight, I would no longer be able to catch the KLM flight in the evening directly to BKK. I decided to fly to Dubai with Emirates. [Lees meer…]

Morocco travel diary | 7 day trip invite to Marrakech

| Reageer

Marrakech had been on my list for a long time and I really wanted to visit it this year. I often fly there with my airline, but we hardly ever stay anywhere – which counts for almost all destinations we fly to. The stories of passengers and people I know for many years about Marrakech inspired me to go there. Last May, I was spontaneously allowed to go to Marrakech thanks to a friend to ‘support’ her friends who work at Nobu. My good friend Joelle and a friend of hers had arranged this for me, so I would fly in from the Netherlands to meet up with them. Super cool to get this opportunity! During this trip the opening of Nobu Marrakech would take place and a lot of events, so I could be there. I would like to tell you in advance that this travel diary is described less extensively and less in depth than the other posts. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Amsterdam

| Reageer

Hi everyone! In between all the travel posts, a new outfit post. This time again in the Netherlands! These photos were taken in Amsterdam, I had my Turkish aunt visiting with her best friend, and they wanted to discover Amsterdam with me. It’s been 4 years since I visited her in Istanbul! So it was nice to see them both again. For those who didn’t know, I am 1/4th Turkish on my father’s side and 3/4th Dutch.
