| Reageer

In this blog post I will tell you about my solo trip experience in Medellin – Colombia. Formerly known as quite a ‘unsafe’ place in the world and nowdays completely different and absolutely amazing! I would like to tell you how I experienced this place in this post. I do want to reveal that I soon regretted having only stayed here for a 3 day trip! [Lees meer…]

Colombia travel diary | solo trip to Colombia part 1

| 2 Reacties

Hi everyone! My solo trip to Colombia was really fantastic. During my trip to Mexico, I got inspired by others to take this Colombia trip. I regularly saw cool things from Cartagena on social media and from others, so decided to plan this trip. I am a down to earth person who is not easily scared, but when I found out that I would arrive at my destination in the dark, I got really scared. Especially after I read that it is best not to walk around in the dark on your own, let alone with beautiful jewelry, your phone or other expensive things. I would like to tell you how this journey went in these posts. Long story short – It was fantastic! [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Ultimo

This post is the last outfit post I upload from Colombia. With my next trip coming up, I try to put all my travel posts online as soon as possible. I have worn this outfit quite a few times while traveling there, which is why they are not the same in every photo. I think this really is in the top 5 of my favorite travel outfits from this year. The end of the year is not so far from now, but I still have 3 beautiful trips planned. For the 4th time to Lisbon, 3rd time to Valencia and for the second time to Mexico. Very excited! These photos were taken at hotel Movich rooftop and in the historic center of Cartagena. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Getsemani

In the meantime I have not even been back for 10 days from my beautiful Colombia trip. I did this outfit shoot together with Karmen Cartagena – this is also really my favorite outfit from Cartagena and I think it fits perfectly with this place. These photos were taken in beautiful Getsemani. If you are looking for a nice photographer during your trip to Cartagena, I highly recommend her. I did this shoot during my last day in Cartagena. I wanted to have guaranteed good photos of my solo trip. I got about 20% off the original price on this shoot, as a partial collaboration. [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Cartagena

This outfit is from my first full day in Cartagena. It was so much fun! This day I went to explore Getsemani with people I met in my hostel. This trip was so very nice. It was even better than my expectations! I have met countless wonderful people from all over the world, all with their own beautiful story. I can’t wait to see some of them again one day somewhere in the world. The people you get to know often make the journey. For those who regularly ask – the photos are taken by other solo travelers I get to know and give some instructions about my camera. [Lees meer…]

The moment I post this, I have been back from Colombia for almost a day. I also had a new travel friend take these photos in the beautiful streets of Getsemani – Colombia. During my trip to Mexico, I was inspired by stories from other travelers to take a trip to Colombia. This is now also my 10th solo trip! I can’t wait to take you in many posts about this beautiful destination soon. I went all alone, so no group tour, no organized tour – no! In advance, I only booked the (standby) flights and hostels. Sometimes I even leave a few days open to see at which locations I would like to spend the nights and visit later. I received this nice skort during a previous collaboration with Tess V. In Colombia, many places are very colorful, so I like to show off the colors in my outfits! [Lees meer…]

Mexico travel diary (Extra long) | Solo trip to Mexico part 2

| Reageer

Hello everyone! Great that you are reading my second part of my solo Mexico travel diary. This post is extra long because I didn’t want to split it into two more parts. So I would say, take your time with this! haha. I try to describe my diaries extensively, but some things are left out and I also find it unnecessary to share. Moreover, otherwise the text becomes too long, and I try to describe it broadly. During my travels, I also try to keep a general diary here and there in order to expand this later with the photos. I will continue this second part in Tulum. I would like to take you with me in this sequel! Full of tips and experiences. [Lees meer…]

Mexico travel diary | Solo trip to Mexico part 1

| Reageer

In this travel post I will take you on a solo trip to Mexico, where I will share my experiences and tips extensively, as in a diary. I don’t want to give too much away yet, but to start with how I experienced the whole trip: As one of the most beautiful trips I’ve ever made. Way beyond my expectations. Especially because of the special people and unexpected fun things that I got on my path. This journey literally felt like a pink cloud – pure happiness, great gratitude, euphoria and peace. I am extremely grateful to be able to do these beautiful things in my life and am certainly aware of this privilege. I am grateful that I can give myself solo travel as a gift, and will continue to do so. I hope these travel diaries might inspire you to go on a solo trip yourself. If not, I hope it is at least a fun activity to take you on this 11 day solo adventure. With a big smile on my face, I start this travel diary. Even if nobody would read it, so to speak, I just like to have everything worked out for myself and to be able to share it. I always get that feeling from back then (and a certain homesickness) when I read or type this. My posts are like a kind of public diary. Of course I always write it out in broad outline, otherwise it is really too much to read. [Lees meer…]

Solo Travel diary | 5 day May solo trip to Dubai

| 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.
