UAE mini travel diary | 4 day best friend visit in Abu Dhabi

16/11/2024 | Reageer

Hi everyone! Earlier this month, I flew to Abu Dhabi for less than 4 days to visit my best friend. Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates, and together with Dubai the largest city in the country. Our friendship is rock solid, despite all the distance. I believe that distance only separates us physically, but not in heart and soul. Abu Dhabi is a place I had never visited before, except for 12 hours between two flights. That was also the last time I saw Roos. Even though I planned to spend this trip less on content and we didn’t have any big plans, I still wanted to make a little travel diary – so I could always watch it again. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone! I bought this bandage dress in 2018, from one of my very first stewardess salaries I remember. I always wanted a dress that reminded me of Margot Robbie’s blue dress in The Wolf of Wall Street, and I thought this one came close at the time. By the way, I don’t have any pictures of the back, but the back is a corset. The store where I bought it is unfortunately bankrupt. I have to admit that it is not a dress that you can wear comfortably all day.

Japan travel diary | 3th Solo trip to Tokyo (and Dubai) part 2

10/06/2023 | Reageer

I’ve been to Shibuya Sky, Tokyo Skytree and Shinjuku Metropolitan Government Building so far. This day I really wanted to go to Roppongi Hills, because I still wanted to visit this viewpoint. Be aware that you have an outdoor vantage point and an indoor one. If you want to visit the outside point, you pay another 500 yen on top of the entrance fee. [Lees meer…]

Solo Travel diary | 5 day May solo trip to Dubai

06/10/2021 | Reageer

Hi everyone. I made a very ‘special’ blog post about my Dubai trip at the beginning of May. I want to say in advance that this is a journey in corona time, so you can certainly have an opinion about this. But published negative opinions are not welcome on my platform. Nor do I mean to ‘motivate’ people with this to travel to a risk area and not to stick to the ‘urgent advice’. And, I would like to mention here, that traveling to (orange areas) is discouraged, but not prohibited. (Holiday to an orange area is therefore not prohibited, and the quarantine is not mandatory either) And I have been tested both there and back (3x in total). I have to tell you that this was a pretty pricey trip, because of the very expensive corona tests. The shared apartment, the crew airline tickets (IPB) and everything around it were not even that expensive.

Hi everyone! A little over a month ago I went on holiday to Dubai. It’s been quiet on my website for a while, but I’m really busy with fun things, especially the preparations for the Miss World Netherlands final on June 30th. I did a shoot with a very sweet KLM flight attendant last week, and there are 2 dress shoots on the schedule, in addition to blog shoots. This fantastic place is Penthouse Dubai, at Five the Palm. I went out for dinner and cocktails here at the time. An extensive Dubai diary with tips is coming! But this comes after the final of Miss World Netherlands. This fantastic suit has a hidden short in it by the way. I think the color is really beautiful. It has a satin look, which can be clearly seen in the photos, but less in reality. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone, I just got back from Dubai for a while. After my work layover last year, I really wanted to go back. I have a 2.5 week vacation, and decided to go to Dubai for about 4,5 days. Two friends, including one that I would visit there, canceled last minute. I decided to go anyway, because I could stay with an former colleague in her airbnb, and she was also solo for part of her trip. It has been really fun! And I am happy to travel again after 7 months. I bought this neon dress last year, especially for my Dubai trip that I moved a few times. A large travel diary will soon be online, full of tips. [Lees meer…]

Being a Stewardess | 3 day Dubai Layover

07/02/2020 | Reageer

Welcome to my first layover diary and my second Stewardess post! As I have told in my other post, my work is my passion and I like to share some nice things about it. About a week and a half ago I was allowed to go to Dubai for 3 days with a nice crew, flying from Amsterdam. I already knew the cabin crew colleagues from Eindhoven and Amsterdam, so that was of course extra fun. Dubai had long been on my wish list. The airline where I work for mainly has ’turnarounds’, so a layover is of course a very nice extra for a lot of people. Many people certainly look forward to it like me. Previous September I also had a nice layover in the city of Groningen. [Lees meer…]

A few days ago I had my first layover abroad. Dubai is a cool city! I was able to spend 3 days with a great crew and one of my very best friends who lives an hour away from Dubai. Where I am standing is at La Mer, where we had lunch with the girls, recommended by my good friend Roos. This nice dress is well suited for days when the temperature is around 20 degrees. Since it would be around 20 degrees in Dubai at the time I would visit, I thought it would be great to take it with me. [Lees meer…]

MEXICO STORY (read & sound on) 🇲🇽

Something positive I wanted to share about México 🤍

As most people who know me - or who have been following my journey for a while - already understand… this country has brought an incredible amount of blessings into my life. Experiences, friendships, growth, and memories I will carry with me forever.

With everything currently being shared online, I also feel the importance of balance. Yes, staying aware and informed matters - but so does telling the full story.

Three weeks ago, I was there again. And what I experienced was what México has so often shown me: warmth, kindness, music in the streets, spontaneous conversations, familiar smiles, and those beautiful moments that remind you how powerful human connection can be.

México has never been just a destination for me - it has been a place of expansion. A place where I laughed until my cheeks hurt, where strangers became friends, and where I was reminded to live a little softer and a little more present.

Fear travels fast online… but so do gratitude and truth.

So this is your gentle reminder that behind the headlines, there is also so much light. Many areas in Mexico continue to feel warm, welcoming, and safe - and I will always be grateful for every lesson, every memory, and every piece of growth this beautiful country has given me.

Con mucho amor 🇲🇽✨
Mandy

The boutique hostel that changed my life 🇲🇽🌴 (Sound on)

Mayan Monkey Tulum has such a special place in my heart. 🐒🥥
If you’ve been following my Mexico trips for a while, you already know… my life would honestly not look the same if I hadn’t stayed here.

I first arrived in 2022, and somehow I just kept coming back. This place didn’t just give me a bed for the night - it gave me friendships all over the world and some of the best memories of my life.

From the beautiful boutique vibe to the ultra-clean dorms and high-quality private rooms, I’ve genuinely never had a bad stay here. The breakfast, drinks and food are always delicious, well-priced and worth it.

If you’re looking for a stylish, social hostel in Tulum that feels almost like a resort - but still close enough to the beach - this is your sign.

✨ Who knows… it might just change your life too.

Recently - I visited Cancún for two nights at @mayanmonkey_ 🌴
A popular Mexican boutique hostel brand I know for a long time and have also visited often in Tulum. 

The trip started with joining one of the cabin crew members I already knew in advance and was coincidentally on this flight. We both had no solid plans so it was lovely to spend time together.

Thank you @mayanmonkey_ for the lovely stay! 🐒

More video’s soon ✨
