Spain Travel Diary | Second 3 day trip to Valencia

| Reageer

At the end of last month I went to Valencia for the second time. This beautiful city remains a nice hotspot in my eyes for sea, city, shopping and delicious food. I went there with a colleague. We arrived halfway through the afternoon and went there by Standby seats (flying for a reduced price for flight attendants). The first day was relaxed. After the flight we decided to change clothes and head for the boulevard to eat and drink for a long time. [Lees meer…]

Spain Travel Diary | 4 day Seville trip

| 1 Reactie

Earlier this month, I went on an ‘if place available’ trip with a friend from work. We went to Seville from Eindhoven. This was also my first trip of this year. After I had worked that day myself, I had changed my outfit, scored my suitcase and left with Tess. After a nice flight with nice crew, we went by taxi to the city center of Seville. Due to the enormously crowded ‘holy week’ (a week of festivities, which we knew little about at the time), [Lees meer…]

Spain travel diary | 3 day Valencia trip

| 1 Reactie

I went to Valencia with my best friend during my 3 day weekend. This last minute trip was very recent before the end of my 1st flying season and before I leave for Tokyo and is nummer 5 of this year. I try to travel as much as I can if I am able to. I would like to start this travel diary with how much I like this city and how it certainly stole my heart in such a short time. This city has – in my experience – everything to offer what I am looking for during a trip, so I would like to take you with me into this travel diary of my short weekend Valencia. [Lees meer…]

Italy travel diary | mini trip to Florence

| Reageer

2 weeks ago I went to Firenze (Florence) for 2 days. In the end, my very kind colleague Michelle went along on this city trip. From another colleague I got the tip to fly to Pisa and there take the train of about an hour to Florence. We certainly used this tip for the way back, but we went with the shuttle from the airport which takes a bit longer. Both travel ways are very cheap and fast, plus you see a bit of Tuscany.

Greece travel diary | Last minute trip to Athens

| Reageer

2 weeks ago I went to Athens with a friend. Our original plan was to go to a different location, but those plans became different last minute. We rebooked everything shortly before the original flight would leave, to a flight to Athens. At the airport we looked at the list of flights that we could book and that would be the first to go to a warm destination. ‘What kind of luggage do we have with us?’ – ‘Only summer clothes’ ‘So, we’ll book the first warm destination that we can book, because why not’.

Spain Travel diary | Solo trip to Palma de Mallorca

| 1 Reactie

I had 5 days off at work as a flight attendant and once again I wanted to take the opportunity to travel.
One of my friends was working abroad again for a couple of months so I decided to plan a mini trip on my own to visit her at Palma de Mallorca – so technically this is, just like my trip to Lanzarote to that same friend, not a completely solo trip. [Lees meer…]

This is the second part of my travel report to Porto. If you have not read the first part yet, you can click on the link here. After the nice lunch we went for a walk through many nice streets of Porto and took a lot of pictures of all the beautiful things that Porto had to offer and that we encountered at that moment. We got to know each other quite well during this trip. [Lees meer…]

Portugal Travel diary | Solo travel to Porto part 1

One of the reasons that I travel alone is due to my great wanderlust. Moreover, an extra reason is that if I do not manage to get friends / travel companions on a trip, I will still go alone. Anyways, I really like being on my own as well. I like traveling because it gives me a lot of new, special and fun memories and because it is something completely different than my everyday life.

Portugal Travel Diary | Solo travel to Lisbon Part 2

| 3 Reacties

The second day in Lisbon started with a breakfast in my hostel with a lovely view of the city. Today, I would probably get new roommates. For this day, I booked a nice cycling tour with a Dutch guy that lives in Lisbon for years. An hour or two after getting up, I went to the destination by foot. After half an hour of walking many meters of unknown streets and high stairs, I arrived at the place where it would start. Together with two others, the cycling tour could begin. [Lees meer…]
