Hi everyone! Less than 72 hours ago, I returned from 30 days in Mexico and Guatemala – I’m so grateful that I was able to offer this to myself and experience it. These two beautiful destinations have taught me so much, given me so much, and left me with an immense sense of gratitude. That’s why I’m so excited to share my new (solo) travel diaries soon, plus a travel diary from before this wonderful, very recent trip. [Lees meer…]

You’d almost think I’m in Rome in these photos, but this is a lovely spot in beautiful Valencia! Besides my visit to Madrid, I went to Valencia for the 5th (!) time last week. I have friends living here and would love to live there someday. Even now, in early November, it was still above 20 degrees Celsius – so I could still go barefoot! I recently put this outfit together in the middle of the night on a whim, haha, and packed it immediately. I bought this blazer at Zara in 2021 or 2022, and I bought this outfit last summer along with these heels. I do have this amazing new bag, though. What do you think? The photos were taken by my dear Brazilian friend Tay, who I was visiting. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Madrid

Hi everyone! This week I went on a trip to Madrid, a place that had been calling me for a long time and was high on my list. I started the trip in Valencia, visiting a nearby village because one of my best travel friends, Mathilde, recently moved there with her boyfriend. The trip was fun, but also challenging. I traveled long distances every day to see everyone, plus because of a friend in South America who I let go of at a film festival (no gatekeeping here, lol) – but despite that, I had a great trip. As a surprise, another friend of mine was in the city, and I met some new, fun people in Madrid. I can’t wait to tell you more about it soon! [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone! I’m seeing yellow a lot this season, and I love it! I received this super cool dress from The Pretty Dress Company. I often collaborate with them and have received so many lovely things from them. What I love is that these dresses are all handmade in England, just like another brand I work with. The dresses are all timeless, so I’ll practically still have them in my wardrobe in 10 years. I think it’s truly one of the most fun colors to wear! How about you?

A tribute to timeless elegance: my favorite dress from The Pretty Dress Company. Hi everyone! If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve probably seen my collaborations with The Pretty Dress Company. And honestly, I keep coming back to them for a reason. Their designs are the definition of timeless – the kind of pieces you’ll treasure in your wardrobe for years.

Outfit | Rome

22/07/2025 | Reageer

Hi everyone. This outfit post is extra special to me, because it was taken at the fourth world wonder I’ve checked off my list: the Colosseum in Rome. A place that radiates power, history, and beauty. I feel incredibly grateful to have visited four world wonders in just three years – something only a small part of the world’s population ever experiences. And that makes me pause and truly appreciate it. [Lees meer…]

Hi loves, It’s been a little while since my last blog post. Medellín is still waiting behind the scenes (I promise it’s coming!), but first I wanted to share a little life update. Since a while, I’m not posting travel content as regularly — because I’m fully focusing on something very special: Miss Grand Netherlands.

Special (outfit) shoot | Vesica

10/05/2025 | Reageer

This special shoot took place at the magical Vesica Cenote — a hidden gem in the jungle where water, light, and stillness come together. I felt deeply connected to myself and nature in this place. I’m wearing a beautiful bikini from Berlook, gifted to me through a lovely collaboration. I’m not posting this as a formal portfolio shoot, but more as a look, a feeling, a captured moment.

Outfit | Babel

07/05/2025 | Reageer

Hi everyone! 2 weeks ago I had a super nice collaboration with Hotel Babel in Tulum. At this place I was able to make a lot of super nice outfit photos and content. The reason I was already back in Tulum – was because I had 4 weeks off, and was actually going to travel to Guatemala. Due to the festive week around Easter all flights were overbooked – I heard that again afterwards from someone else who wanted to do the same. I had to make a decision within 48 hours to go on a trip, otherwise I would have wasted my entire holiday period. I decided to go to Medellin a 2nd time, and then on to Tulum again. Despite there being only a month between the two times Mexico, I had a great time! [Lees meer…]

(ChatGPT pic) Should I give pageantry one more chance? 👑 As the first Dutch Miss and Flight Attendant in Dutch history ✈️ 

After competing in most of the biggest pageants in The Netherlands, I honestly thought I was done.

Not because I stopped loving the stage…
But because after years of competing, I had seen enough behind the scenes to make me question whether I still belonged there or in this world ;) 

In 2021 I was supposed to represent my country in Japan. Like so many dreams that year, Covid had other plans.

Since then, I’ve experienced incredible highs, heartbreaking disappointments and moments of injustice (😉) that made me wonder if it was finally time to close this chapter.

But something has changed.

As I’m approaching my 30s, pageantry is finally opening its doors to women beyond their early twenties. And perhaps that’s exactly where my story truly begins.

I’m no longer interested in proving that I’m the prettiest woman in the room.

I want to prove that authenticity is powerful.
That resilience is beautiful.
That using your voice matters.

For years my mission has been standing up against bullying and encouraging others to embrace who they truly are. A project I have seen a lot of other pageant queens do afterwards as well ;)

Maybe that’s the crown I was always meant to wear.

So… should I step onto that stage one more time? 👑

Curious about your thoughts on my pageant veteran period!

The best things that ever happened to me started when;

I stopped waiting. 🌍✨

Some of the most beautiful memories of my life began with a table for one.

What’s one place you’ve always wanted to visit on your own? 🤍

Life moves so fast. These photos aren’t for algorithms - they’re little pieces of a life I never want to forget. If they inspire someone along the way, that’s just a bonus. 🤍✨

One day you’ll realize you were never “too much”. You were just in the wrong place, around the wrong people.

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.
