Outfit | Madrid

07/11/2025 | Reageer

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…]

Being a stewardess | Layover in Pisa

12/10/2025 | Reageer

Lately, I’ve been taking a bit more time for myself. My mind has been busy with so many things, and as a result, I’ve been less active on social media. But a few weeks ago, something rare happened — I got to go on a work trip! At my airline, we almost never stay overnight at destinations. Most of my travels are done using staff tickets during my free time, so whenever I actually get to stay somewhere, I try to make the most of it. [Lees meer…]

Hungary travel diary | 3 day solo trip to Budapest

17/09/2025 | Reageer

Welcome back to a new travel post! It’s been a while since my last update, but more are coming soon. I’m traveling a bit less this year, which makes the trips I do take feel even more special. Budapest had been high on my list for ages. I’d heard it’s one of the best solo travel destinations – safe, fun, and full of things to explore – and everyone I knew who’d been there had nothing but good things to say. So when I found a one-way ticket from Eindhoven Airport for just €55, I couldn’t resist. [Lees meer…]

Italy travel diary | 4 day Friend visit in Rome

23/07/2025 | Reageer

Hi everyone! Earlier this month, I went on a spontaneous trip to Rome with my dear friend Aline. We met back in 2022 during my second trip to Mexico — a deeply emotional journey that turned out to be one of the most transformative experiences of my life. Meeting Aline at such a meaningful moment instantly created a deep bond between us. Ever since, we’ve stayed incredibly close. Even though she’s originally from Brazil, I honestly see her more often than some of my friends in the Netherlands. We’ve reunited in Mexico twice this year, I visited her in Florianópolis, and now… in Rome. [Lees meer…]

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…]

Mexico travel diary | Last minute trip back to Tulum (after Medellín)

19/05/2025 | Reageer

Hi everyone, and welcome back to another Mexico travel diary! I know it might seem like I never go anywhere else, but when you fall in love with a place that feels like home—like Tulum does for me—you’ll understand why I keep coming back. This trip was a last-minute decision with no set plans, and by saying ‘yes’ to almost everything that crossed my path, it turned out to be one of my absolute favorite Mexico adventures so far. I met beautiful new people, made unforgettable memories, and I can’t wait to share it all with you. [Lees meer…]

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…]

Mexico Travel Diary | Midweek back in Tulum

12/04/2025 | Reageer

This was officially my shortest trip to Mexico ever — just 5 nights over the span of 6.5 days. And yet… it felt like coming home. I know what you’re thinking: “You flew across the world for just a few days?” But for me, Mexico isn’t just a destination. It’s a feeling. A memory. A part of me.

Wait for the end! ✈️ 
Some women wait for love to start living.
I booked the ticket anyway. 

Some of the most beautiful moments of my life happened because I stopped waiting, for permission, for certainty, for someone to come with me.

Solo travelling taught me that freedom can be lonely sometimes, but also deeply empowering. It gave me sunsets in countries I once only dreamed about, strangers that became memories, confidence I never learned at home, and versions of myself I would’ve never met if I stayed safe.

I may not have everything figured out yet, but I’ve lived. Deeply. Wildly. Internationally.
And honestly? That already makes me rich in life.

I know it’s not a possibility for every woman in the world to do this. Something travel also showed me over and over again.

Tulum, mi destino mágico 🌙🌴🌵
Some months ago I had the beautiful privilege to stay at @villa_hunab_ku multiple times - an absolute masterpiece and truly my aesthetic dream place in Tulum.

I remember sitting in the bathtub on the balcony of the master bedroom, the one I chose out of the five… in complete silence. Just looking out into the trees, feeling the warmth, and realizing how incredibly grateful I felt in that moment.

Grateful to be able to create a life where I get to travel, experience places like this, and even work with them. Something that once felt far away, and now feels like something I’ve slowly built for myself - step by step, by staying true to who I am and not letting other people’s opinions define me or hold me back.

At this villa, everything felt calm.
Safe. Peaceful. Grounded.

Waking up slowly, biking through Aldea Zamá to Nimenõ for my favorite coffee and breakfast just a few minutes away… those simple moments that end up meaning the most.

This villa is perfect for a group trip or something like a bachelorette, but I also loved experiencing it in my own way. Having the space to myself, inviting friends over sometimes, and just enjoying the balance between connection and stillness.

That balance felt very aligned with me.

Gracias en todos, @villa_hunab_ku 🤍
