This outfit gives me barbie vibes. I love to wear pink. I bought this two-piece for Valencia and/or Mexico this year. No collaboration by the way! This two piece is size 36 from Missguided on Zalando. My 8th trip of this year is coming up! Very grateful that I am able to do this because of my crew tickets and I certainly don’t take this for granted. There will be no Valencia travel diary because I am way behind with my other travel posts, my camera broke and I wanted to have all the focus on my travel friend – although I love blogging!

Spain travel diary | 3 day weekend trip to Marbella

| Leave a Comment

Hi everyone. At the end of July, I went to visit a good friend of mine in Marbella for a weekend. Funnily enough, Marbella itself was never on my travel wish list, but during this weekend I went there for the second time. I’m normally not a big fan of jet set places, but it certainly didn’t disappoint. Early Friday morning, I left for Schiphol to start this weekend. After a long line of 2.5 hours, I arrived at the gate. I was on standby for a seat (if seat available airline staff tickets), but at this point it looked totally full. When I met the KLM crew, I was very lucky because I got the – in my opinion – ‘best front row seat’ (the cockpit observer seat) and was the very last one to board. Thanks to the efforts of this sweet crew and ground crew I was able to join. The entire flight was enjoyable and I spent the entire flight in the cockpit.

Outfit | Marbella

Hi everyone! I’ve been traveling a lot lately haha. The borders are open again since quite some time already and I’m going for it. Last week I went to Marbella for 3 days. Joelle, a good friend of mine, immigrated to Marbella. The reason that I am able to travel a lot is partly due to the fact that I use the so-called ´if place available´ tickets. I am also very grateful that this is possible! When I saw this dress, I bought it right away! Perfect for summer and the colors are very nice. Next month I plan on going to Lisbon for 3 days, and the month after to Cartagena (if that will continue). A lot of travel posts are coming up! I am curious and very excited about what is about to come! [Read more…]

Hi everyone. Lately I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my favorite dress of the moment. Every now and then you can treat yourself to something nice from a ‘somewhat higher price category’ – I say to myself, because I don’t do that very often to be very honest. I saw this beautiful dress hanging on the shelf a few months ago and the dress stayed in my head for a very long time. I decided to order it in size EU36 and am very happy with it! The fabric is very nice, and I really like the color. I will be wearing this dress often! I didn’t have a lot of photos from Ibiza for an outfit post, but I collected some here and there to make one anyway. Whether for a nice dinner, as cocktails, as wine, as lunch, as a party… you name it, this dress is very suitable. In the Netherlands, I often wear it with black block heels and my favorite black bag.

Spain travel diary | 3 day short trip to Ibiza

| Leave a Comment

Hi everyone! Last month I went to Ibiza for 3 days. It was amazing and the island really surprised me. It was a last minute trip with a dear colleague just before my vacation to Mexico. It started at the beginning of the afternoon when we left with our airline (standby tickets) from Schiphol to Ibiza. After a wonderful flight with the lovely crew and sitting in the cockpit during the landing (which still remains beautiful, even though I have been a flight attendant for years), we went to the car rental that we arranged through our employer. Because Kanar – the colleague who was going to travel with me – drives an automatic car, I drove around the island on this trip. For me it was the first time to drive on a holiday destination, so it was very nice to have done that! [Read more…]

Outfit | Olive

Hi everyone. The moment I make this post, I’m finally in Mexico! This outfit is from my Ibiza trip from earlier this month. I think it’s really cool how many neon colors I see coming back in collections this year, and this dress is one of them. In Dubai last year I wore something in this same cool color. I really like this dress and have had it in my closet for a few months now. In the Netherlands I don’t often have the opportunity to put on such cool dresses in my spare time, but on holiday I like to unpack! These photos were taken in front of my hotel swimming pool. I was in a nice quiet spot in Cala Llonga, quite a distance from all the partying. I came to Ibiza with the intention of relaxing, seeing the beautiful island, eating good food and touring with a car. These plans certainly worked! The same goes for Mexico. I am very curious what the next few days will bring me. [Read more…]

Outfit | Ibiza

Hi everyone! Last week I had 3 wonderful days in Ibiza. As usual it was not a trip for work, but just a mini vacation trip. In a few days I will finally be in Mexico! This time I have booked an actual ticket instead of a standby ticket. I don’t want to risk not getting on the flight again. This lovely dress is from Zara and funnily enough I spotted it 3x with other women in Ibiza when I was wearing it myself! Super nice in combination with my Gucci marmont super mini bag and low translucent block heels. This series of photos reminds me a bit of my outfit in Split. The best tip I can give you on a summer vacation is to take lots of pictures in the shadow! That’s where the light is often the best for an outfit shoot like this one. The photos were taken in the old town, I will soon tell you about my tips and experiences of Ibiza in a new travel diary. [Read more…]

Spain Travel diary | 3 day last minute october trip to Alicante

| Leave a Comment

Hi everyone! Last autumn I went to Alicante with a friend who was temporarily working at my airline. Due to all of my busy schedules, all my travel diaries had been ‘on hold’ for a few months. In this blog I will explain to you in short with a lot of photos what we did in Alicante in 3 days. In bold you will find some tips and an explanation of our experiences. I have to tell you honestly that I like to do active things, but because it was very last minute, and we had very busy schedules, we both felt the need to take it easy during this last minute trip.

Spain & Portugal travel diary | Unexpected road trip to Faro, Sevilla, Tarifa & Marbella

| Leave a Comment

Hi everyone! Lately I have very little time to make travel posts. Creating one takes a lot of time, but I love doing this. This is the travel diary about my road trip from Faro, Sevilla, Tarifa, Marbella and Malaga in 5 days. In February I was due to go to Mexico during my annual unpaid leave as a new distant solo trip. Joelle, a good friend of mine, wanted to travel with me last minute for a few days, before continuing the journey solo. To briefly summarize how that ended: The flight was full and Joelle and I were left behind (we were going to fly standby; a cheap way of flying for people in aviation if there is room on board). My heart was disappointed that we were left behind. We gave our cheesecake to the sweet senior purser I happened to know so that the crew could enjoy a snack on their long flight to Cancun. Unfortunately, we decided to pick up our suitcase and come up with a new plan on the spot. Once at plaza we canceled everything we had booked (and luckily got the money back from the hotels). We decided to do some brainstorming over a cup of coffee and then abruptly decided to fly to Joelle’s best friend later that afternoon. [Read more…]
