Hi everyone! This is the first time in 9 years of blogging that I’ve made an outfit post with selfies, haha! I love this outfit and this location (Meteora – the boutique hostel I work with) so much that I took mirror pictures of it because I didn’t really have a good opportunity to take pictures of it outside or for someone else to take them to have it made. Funnily enough, this beautiful dress is from Shein! In combination with accessories from Asos. Both the jewelry and shoes. I love this look and have worn it several times in Mexico – the dress also went with me to Thailand last year. I notice that I want to buy less and less and want to combine more and style differently – and that is why there will be more ‘double’ outfit posts. I sometimes get nice items sponsored + I am grateful to have saved up so much clothing that I want to be much more frugal with it and increasingly prefer to focus on clothing that I can wear for a long time. I like clothes that remain nice for years rather than items that quickly go ‘out of fashion’ – although I always like to follow my own style without necessarily going along with what is a big trend.I think this chic boho look is a look that I like to wear to parties or dinners in Tulum. I think red and gold is a very nice combination. [Lees meer…]

Every time I come to Mexico I evolve. It feels like the place where my soul comes home and I feel the most confident, happy, grateful and powerful version of myself. Tulum is a place with a lot of magic and surprises that always come to mind when I follow my heart and go back. Cheers to the fact that this 4th time here won’t be my last. It is now my second home. Grateful for the fantastic network I have built here and how this place has become a second home for me since 2022. Whatever the circumstances and whatever comes my way – I haven’t let it stop me from going back, because the universe rewards those with a brave soul. In Tulum, I have the ultimate feeling of being myself. In my style, life and self. I also always wear my favorite outfits in Tulum. By the way, this beautiful location is Meteora Tulum – the boutique hostel I have been working with for a long time and was able to stay during my Tulum visit. Perfect location for photos!

Hi everyone! For the first time in 4 years, I had an airline layover abroad. So far, in 6 years as a flight attendant, I have only stayed abroad twice for work (I don’t count Brussels). Many people think that all the travelling, as seen on my Instagram – is travelling as a flight attendant. The trips I post are trips that I mainly do because of the discount I get on tickets, but not for work. And secretly, I think staying abroad is the best part of flying – so it was great that it was on my roster for once. By the way, I crossed my 20th country off my list! I do not include the destinations that I only fly to/open for work, so 18 of the 20 countries are countries that I have not visited for work.

Brazil travel diary | Two week (partial) solo trip to Florianópolis part 1 (AI text edited)

| Reageer

Hi everyone! Welcome to a new travel diary where I take you – largely solo – to a safe, clean, prosperous and beautiful part of Brazil – Florianópolis. If you are looking for a beautiful, safe, clean and adventurous travel destination in Brazil, this is your place. There are a lot of people I’ve spoken to on my past travels who often skip Brazil while backpacking through South America because of a ‘bad image’ – sadly (however, I personally also do not recommend Rio myself, while I absolutely love Brazil). I have therefore completely devoted this travel diary to a part of Brazil that I think you should definitely visit if you have the chance! And it also deserves much more fame. Florianópolis is a place known for its 40+ beaches, hiking and climbing routes, nature, surf spots, good food, oysters, fresh fish, safety and social life. A pearl in South America where you can relax and enjoy the real ‘Brazilian feeling’ – with a slightly European touch from the ‘descendants’ who have lived here for generations from, for example, Germany and Italy. Florianópolis is about an hour’s flight from São Paulo (Brazil), and a 2.5-hour flight from Buenos Aires (Argentina). [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Floripa

| Reageer

Last week I returned from Florianópolis – Brazil. Actually, immediately after the trip I became very ill. So sick that I checked with the doctor. I haven’t been as sick as I was last week in years. Apparently I had already developed stomach flu in Brazil, which manifested itself in the Netherlands. Fortunately, I have now almost recovered. Just in time for the holidays! I am very much looking forward to taking you along in my stories about Floripa soon. An incredibly safe, clean, fun and adventurous landscape in Brazil. I took the photos of this outfit around the Selina where I stayed for a few days. I also wore this nice outfit a few times in Tulum last year, but I only now took the time to take enough nice photos for an outfit post. [Lees meer…]

Earlier this month, I went to visit one of my best friends in Valencia. At that moment it was the 4th time that I visit Valencia. I have been thinking about moving to Valencia for years, because it is easier as a flight attendant, and I am still in the Netherlands a lot at that point. But let’s see what the future brings! I will soon tell you about this and my 2022 trip to Valencia in a new blog. In those travel diaries, you will also find my tips about the destination.

Argentina travel diary (Extra long) | Solo trip to Buenos Aires

| Reageer

Hi everyone! Welcome to the continuation of my original Brazil travel diary. In this travel diary, I will share with you my experiences and tips from my unplanned and spontaneous solo trip to Buenos Aires in Argentina. I was also really looking forward to this spontaneous trip, which I also hadn’t planned when I went. Going without a plan and without preparation sometimes brings unexpected, fun surprises.

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…]
