Mexico travel diary | 6th (Partial) Solo trip of 3 weeks to Mexico – part 2

21/02/2025 | Reageer

At the time of my stay, I happened to be the only guest, which meant I spent a lot of time with Rodrigo, Diana, her husband, and their kids, practicing some Spanish with them. Watching the stars from the beach every night was one of the most special moments of my stay.
Op het moment dat ik er verbleef, was ik nog even de enige gast, waardoor ik veel tijd doorbracht met Rodrigo, Diana en haar man en hun kindjes, waar ik probeerde Spaans mee te spreken. Elke avond de sterren kijken vanaf het strand was een van de meest bijzondere herinneringen van mijn verblijf.

Day 7 – Mahahual – 29-11-2024

I woke up to the sound of waves in my beautiful little house at Casa Balam. What a privilege to stay in such a unique place—a beautifully designed house, right by the ocean, with perfect weather in Mexico. This collaboration truly felt like a gift. I could wake up here every single day!

Thanks to the high-speed Starlink WiFi, I was able to get some remote work done. And that was perfect timing because today, I had a two-hour lesson with Miss Universe Noord-Brabant (hence the photos with my sash). After that, I planned to organize my content and go through all the photos I had taken.

One of my favorite things about Casa Balam was the coffee service—you could request a French press (my absolute favorite coffee) to be brought to your room. My house had everything I needed: a comfortable bed, a desk and table for working, a cozy lounge chair, a hammock inside and on the balcony, a ceiling fan, and a well-designed bathroom. Behind the sleeping area was a sink with a large mirror, a hairdryer, a separate toilet, and a door leading to an outdoor shower, where I could shower under the stars—pure magic!

My stay also included breakfast, and every morning, it was the perfect way to start the day. Sitting by the ocean, enjoying good coffee and the sound of the waves, while having great conversations with the hotel owner, Rodrigo, and his team. This was one of my favorite memories from my stay. A huge thank you to Diana and her husband for the delicious breakfasts. If you look at my photos, you can probably see it in my eyes—those who know me will recognize my gratitude.

Ik ontwaakte heerlijk door het geluid van de golven in mijn mooie huisje bij Casa Balam. Wat een voorrecht om hier te mogen verblijven—een prachtig ontworpen huisje, direct aan de oceaan, met perfect weer in Mexico. Deze samenwerking voelde echt als een cadeautje. Ik zou hier iedere dag wel wakker willen worden!

Dankzij de supersnelle Starlink-wifi kon ik hier ook goed remote werken. En dat kwam goed uit, want vandaag had ik een twee uur durende les met Miss Universe Noord-Brabant (vandaar de foto’s met mijn sjerp). Daarna wilde ik de tijd nemen om mijn content op orde te krijgen en de foto’s die ik had gemaakt uit te zoeken.

Wat ik zo fijn vond aan Casa Balam, is de koffieservice—je kunt vragen om een French press (mijn favoriete koffie) naar je kamer te laten brengen. Mijn huisje was ruim en had alles wat ik nodig had: een heerlijk bed, een bureau en tafel om te werken, een fijne loungestoel, een hangmat binnen én op het balkon, een plafondventilator en een goed ingedeelde badkamer. Achter de wand van het slaapgedeelte was er een wastafel met een grote spiegel, een föhn, een apart toilet en een deurtje naar een buiten douche, waar je onder de sterren kon douchen—magisch!

Bij mijn verblijf zat ook het ontbijt inbegrepen, en dat was iedere ochtend echt een hoogtepunt. Heerlijk aan zee, met goede koffie en het geluid van de golven, terwijl ik fijne gesprekken had met de hoteleigenaar Rodrigo en zijn team. Een van mijn mooiste herinneringen aan deze plek. Enorme dank aan Diana en haar man voor de heerlijke ontbijtjes. Ik denk dat als je mijn foto’s ziet, je de blik in mijn ogen herkent—wie me kent, weet hoe dankbaar ik was.

Day 8 – Mahahual – 30-11-2024

Today was all about exploring the area. Since I hadn’t rented a car—and, to be honest, still wasn’t quite ready to drive alone in Mexico despite my many visits—I relied on the owner of Casa Balam. (Side note: You can easily get here by taxi as well, I did see them passing by in this jungle area.)

After another delicious beachside breakfast—with fruit that the owner of Casa Balam had picked up for me from a local shop two days ago—we headed back to Mahahual. There, I met some new people and visited a few places and acquaintances of Casa Balam. It was interesting to see more of the area and how this place operates.

The sky was absolutely stunning today, which gave me the chance to capture some amazing photos. A perfect day to explore Mahahual a little further!

Vandaag stond in het teken van het verkennen van de omgeving. Omdat ik geen auto had gehuurd—en eerlijk gezegd nog steeds niet helemaal durfde om in mijn eentje in Mexico te rijden, ondanks mijn vele bezoeken—was ik afhankelijk van de eigenaar van Casa Balam. (Side note: je kunt hier prima met een taxi komen en gaan, ik zag er af en toe eentje langsrijden in dit junglegebied.)

Na weer een uitgebreid ontbijt op het strand—waarbij de eigenaar van Casa Balam speciaal fruit had meegenomen dat ik lekker vind, gekocht in een lokaal winkeltje twee dagen eerder—vertrokken we opnieuw naar Mahahual. Daar leerde ik nieuwe mensen kennen en bezocht ik een paar plekken en bekenden van Casa Balam. Het was interessant om meer te zien van de omgeving en hoe deze plek functioneert.

De lucht was vandaag adembenemend mooi, en ik kon daardoor fantastische foto’s maken. Een perfecte dag om Mahahual verder te ontdekken!

Day 9 – Mahahual & Tulum – 01-12-2024

Today was the day I would return to Tulum. My last morning at Casa Balam started with a lovely breakfast by the sea—the perfect way to wrap up my stay. As I took one last walk along the beach, I picked up one of the many large seashells scattered along the shore. I couldn’t resist bringing a few back to the Netherlands as souvenirs for myself, my parents, and my sister. These shells are such a special part of this place, even incorporated into Casa Balam’s beautiful interior.

But what made today even more exciting was that Ruben had finally landed from the U.S.! After so long, I would finally reunite with Cyni and Ruben, my close travel friends who I keep meeting up with across the world. I can’t help but smile as I write this, thinking about how much my life changed the moment I first traveled to Mexico. I’ll say it again: if you have the luxury and opportunity, take the leap and go on a solo trip—it might just change your life.

The owner of Casa Balam had to travel to Cancún that day and was passing through Tulum, so he kindly offered to drop me off—so convenient! The 2.5-hour drive (over 200 km) was filled with great conversations, making the time fly by.

Once in Tulum, Ruben, Cyni, and I met up at La Negra Tomasa, one of my favorite spots for a great meal in downtown Tulum. Later that evening, we headed to Mayan Monkey, where Ruben was staying, and enjoyed a few drinks together.

After ten months, it felt so special to finally see Ruben in person again! It was as if no time had passed—like we had never been apart.

Tulum truly feels like a second home now, and this day was the perfect mix of nostalgia, friendship, and the start of a new chapter in my journey.

Vandaag was de dag dat ik terug naar Tulum zou gaan. Mijn laatste ochtend bij Casa Balam begon met een heerlijk ontbijt aan zee—de perfecte afsluiting van mijn verblijf. Terwijl ik nog even over het strand liep, vond ik een van de vele grote schelpen die hier overal te vinden zijn. Ik kon het niet laten om er een paar mee te nemen naar Nederland, als herinnering voor mezelf, mijn ouders en mijn zus. Ze maken deze plek zo bijzonder en zijn zelfs verwerkt in het interieur van Casa Balam.

Maar wat deze dag nóg specialer maakte, was dat Ruben eindelijk was geland vanuit de VS! Eindelijk zou ik weer samen zijn met Cyni en Ruben, mijn hechte reisvrienden die ik over de hele wereld blijf opzoeken. Ik krijg direct een glimlach op mijn gezicht terwijl ik dit typ, omdat mijn leven echt veranderde vanaf het moment dat ik voor het eerst naar Mexico ging. Ik kan het dan ook niet vaak genoeg zeggen: als je de luxe en mogelijkheid hebt, neem het risico en ga op een soloreis. Het kan je leven veranderen.

De eigenaar van Casa Balam moest die dag door naar Cancún en kwam tussendoor langs Tulum, dus hij bood aan om me af te zetten—super fijn en handig natuurlijk! De rit van ongeveer 2,5 uur en 200+ km was gevuld met goede gesprekken, waardoor de tijd voorbij vloog.

In Tulum spraken Ruben, Cyni en ik af bij La Negra Tomasa, een van mijn favoriete plekken voor een goede maaltijd in downtown Tulum. Later die avond gingen we naar Mayan Monkey, waar Ruben verbleef, en dronken we samen nog wat drankjes.

Na tien maanden was het zo bijzonder om Ruben eindelijk weer in het echt te zien! Het voelde alsof we nooit uit elkaar waren geweest—alsof de tijd even had stilgestaan.

Tulum voelt inmiddels als een tweede thuis, en deze dag was een perfecte mix van nostalgie, vriendschap en het begin van een nieuw hoofdstuk in mijn reis.

Day 10 – Tulum – 02-12-2024

Today marked the start of my new collaboration at Acacia Tulum—not fully free like last time, but at around 20% of the regular price due to high season. Unfortunately, things didn’t go smoothly. Due to a double booking, I was placed in another hotel last-minute, even though my stay should have started yesterday.

Luckily, Cyni picked me up on her scooter in the morning, and off we went—with my massive suitcase on my lap (!)—to Acacia Tulum. After checking in, we headed straight to Gitano Beach, one of my favorite beach clubs in Tulum’s hotel zone.

This time, I had a partial collaboration (last time was a full one). We received two complimentary cocktails, no minimum spend, towels, and a beach bed each. Gitano Beach remains one of my favorites! Compared to most places in the hotel zone—where prices can be outrageous—this spot is actually quite reasonable.

Later in the day, Hanna joined us. We had met at the start of this trip, and since she was flying back to Czech Republic the next day, it was great to spend some final moments together. (Side note: The guacamole, hummus, and cappuccinos at Gitano Beach are amazing! Aside from the food, the place itself is just stunning.)

After a great afternoon at the beach, Ruben, Hanna, and I met up at La Negra Tomasa for dinner.
Tip: Try the ‘Gabor’ taco, a tuna taco with guacamole—absolutely delicious!

Later that evening, we went to Mayan Monkey to catch up, and I ran into Jean-Baptiste from France again, who I had met earlier on this trip and had just spoken to with Ruben the day before. It’s always fun running into familiar faces!

Vandaag begon mijn nieuwe samenwerking bij Acacia Tulum—dit keer niet volledig gratis, zoals de vorige keer, maar voor ongeveer 20% van de prijs vanwege het hoogseizoen. Helaas verliep de start niet zoals gepland. Door een dubbele boeking werd ik last-minute in een ander hotel geplaatst, terwijl mijn verblijf eigenlijk gisteren al had moeten beginnen.

Gelukkig kwam Cyni me ’s ochtends ophalen met haar scooter, en zo reden we—met mijn gigantische koffer op schoot (!)—naar Acacia Tulum. Na het inchecken reden we direct door naar Gitano Beach, een van mijn favoriete beach clubs in de hotel zone van Tulum.

Deze keer had ik een gedeeltelijke samenwerking (de vorige keer was volledig). We kregen twee cocktails van het huis, geen minimum spend, handdoeken en elk een ligbed. Gitano Beach blijft echt een van mijn favorieten! Vergeleken met andere plekken in de hotel zone, waar de prijzen vaak absurd hoog zijn, valt het hier relatief mee.

Later die dag sloot Hanna zich bij ons aan. We kennen elkaar van het begin van deze reis en omdat zij morgen terug zou vliegen naar Tsjechië, was het fijn om nog even samen tijd door te brengen. (Side note: de guacamole, hummus en cappuccino’s bij Gitano Beach zijn echt fantastisch! Los van het eten is de plek zelf ook gewoon prachtig.)

Na een heerlijke middag aan het strand, spraken Ruben, Hanna en ik af bij La Negra Tomasa om samen te eten.
Tip: Bestel hier de ‘Gabor’ taco, een tonijn taco met guacamole—die is echt een must-try!

’s Avonds gingen we nog even naar Mayan Monkey om bij te kletsen. Toevallig kwam ik daar Jean-Baptiste uit Frankrijk weer tegen, die ik eerder tijdens deze reis had ontmoet en de dag ervoor nog met Ruben had gesproken. Leuk om zo steeds weer bekende gezichten tegen te komen!

Day 11 – Tulum – 03-12-2024

This morning, Cyni, Ruben, and I planned to meet at a beach spot I hadn’t been to before: La Eufemia—a taco restaurant located at the entrance of the hotel zone, next to Maya Resort.

I loved waking up in my spacious house at Acacia Tulum, taking my time getting ready, enjoying my coffee from my little coffee corner, and just soaking in the morning vibes. It was such a peaceful way to start the day.

La Eufemia turned out to be a stunning spot and one of the few remaining free-access beaches in Tulum. This place is well-known among locals and expats, and if you tell a local you’re going there, they’ll immediately know you have real Tulum knowledge!

After some time on the beach, I walked over to Raw Love for a smoothie bowl—one of my go-to places in Tulum. (Side note: There’s also a location in downtown, and I visit it at least once every trip!)

Later in the afternoon, I went back to my house at Acacia to freshen up and change for the evening. Then, I hopped on my bike and rode five minutes to Palma Central, where I was finally going to see my German friend Jessica again after two years!

It was amazing to reunite, and we had a great meal together—arepas, passion fruit juice, and a full steak—absolutely delicious! Palma Central is such a cool spot, where I had also been two years ago. The place is full of food trucks serving cuisine from different countries, and there are salsa nights and live music.

A day full of new places and old friends—exactly what makes traveling so special.

Deze ochtend hadden Cyni, Ruben en ik afgesproken op een strandplek waar ik nog niet eerder was geweest: La Eufemia—een taco-restaurant aan het begin van de hotel zone, naast het Maya Resort.

Ik vond het heerlijk om wakker te worden in mijn ruime huisje bij Acacia Tulum, op mijn gemak mijn make-up te doen, koffie te drinken in mijn kleine koffiehoekje en rustig de dag te beginnen. Het was de perfecte manier om de ochtend te starten.

La Eufemia bleek een prachtige plek te zijn en is een van de weinige stranden in Tulum die nog gratis toegankelijk zijn. Deze plek is vooral populair onder locals en expats, en als je tegen een local zegt dat je hierheen gaat, weten ze meteen dat je het “echte” Tulum kent!

Na een tijdje ontspannen op het strand liep ik door naar Raw Love voor een smoothie bowl—een van mijn vaste adresjes in Tulum. (Side note: Er is ook een locatie in downtown, en daar kom ik echt elke reis wel even langs!)

Later op de middag ging ik terug naar mijn huisje bij Acacia om me op te frissen en om te kleden voor de avond. Daarna sprong ik op de fiets en reed vijf minuten naar Palma Central, waar ik eindelijk mijn Duitse vriendin Jessica weer zou zien na twee jaar!

Het was geweldig om haar weer in person te zien, en we genoten van een heerlijke maaltijd—arepas, passievruchtsap en een grote steak—zó lekker! Palma Central is echt een geweldige plek, waar ik twee jaar geleden ook al ben geweest. Het is een bruisende locatie met foodtrucks uit verschillende landen, salsa-avonden en livemuziek.

Een dag vol nieuwe plekken en oude vrienden—precies wat reizen zo bijzonder maakt!

Thank you for reading this post! It’s always a pleasure to share my adventures in Tulum with you. From relaxing beach days and amazing food spots to special encounters and familiar faces—this is exactly why I love traveling. I hope you found some inspiration and useful tips for your own trip! More stories and discoveries coming soon, so stay tuned!
Dankjewel voor het lezen van deze post! Het blijft bijzonder om mijn avonturen in Tulum met jullie te delen. Van ontspannen stranddagen en heerlijke eetplekjes tot bijzondere ontmoetingen en vertrouwde gezichten—dit is precies waarom ik zo van reizen houd. Hopelijk heb je iets aan de tips en inspiratie gekregen voor je eigen reis! Meer verhalen en ontdekkingen volgen snel, dus stay tuned!

Collaboration note: Gitano beach was a partial collaboration due to high season this time, Casa Balam was for me 3 nights for free with breakfast as a collaboration, and Acacia was this time for 25% of the original price per night as a collaboration.

POV: You get to stay at your dream villa in Tulum 🌴
Villa Hunab-Ku @villa_hunab_ku 🍃

Imagine having your own dream villa at your favorite place in the world! 

I had an amazing 4 night stay at this incredible villa. A villa perfect for a bachelorette, family visit, party or lucky me - for myself!

This beautiful place has 5 bedrooms. My personal favorite was the Bali master bedroom - which I chose to sleep in - and the Zen bathroom - A Japanese style bathroom with a yoga garden.

Would you stay here with your friends?

(Swipe) The Souls of Guatemala & Mexico Nov/Dec 2025 🪽🐦‍🔥 I’m beyond grateful to have a lot of close and also new friends and acquaintances from around the world and can call Tulum my second home.

If I didn’t go to México on my own back in May 2022, my life would have been completely different. 

I’m extremely grateful (and privileged) to be able to travel the world as a WOMAN on my own. Although I still live with my parents as in my country it’s hard to afford housing as a single person - I count my blessings and use that form of ‘space’ in my favor as a form of freedom.

The more I travel, the more gratitude I preach and feel, but also realize how only a small group of people (mainly women) is able to go out and explore. 

I started solo travelling back in 2017, and after 8 years, I and have a big worldwide group of close friends and lifechanging experiences. 

One of the first things I have learned from travelling is that your soulmates don’t need to have a similar zipcode. 

Thank you all for existing 🤍🪽

Haven’t been able to take pics with everyone or tag them! Still love you equally x

UNESCO world heritage surrounded by Volcanoes 🌋🇬🇹 Antigua - Guatemala

Solo in Guatemala 🇬🇹✨
I started my journey in the beautiful colonial city of Antigua, and it instantly stole my heart.

After a one-hour flight from Cancún and a short drive from Guatemala City, I arrived in a place full of colorful streets, historic architecture, lush gardens and the cutest coffee spots.

It felt surprisingly social for solo travellers, with boutique hotels and hostels everywhere. I felt safe walking around on my own, even early in the mornings and evenings, and everything is close enough to explore on foot.

I spent about three days here, spread out over my trip. Two nights at the beginning and one night at the end. The perfect place to slow down, recharge, and meet people along the way.

Would you add Antigua to your solo travel list? 🤍 #guatemala #antigua #laantigua #solotravel

I almost gave up during the first hour of this volcano hike, but what I saw at the top changed everything 🌋 90 second vlog! ⏰

One of the hardest yet most rewarding things I’ve ever done while traveling.
A few weeks ago, I hiked a volcano, and it pushed me far outside my comfort zone, physically and mentally.

We started the day slow, with breakfast in beautiful Antigua, before being transported to the headquarters to gear up and mentally prepare. The first hour was brutal: steep, cold, and way less oxygen. I was close to quitting. But with lots of breaks, support from the group, and a porter for my backpack, it slowly got better.

This hike is no joke. Bring plenty of water, snacks, layers, walking sticks, and altitude pills; the climate and altitude differences really test you. At basecamp there was no water or electricity, so you truly go back to basics. Cold nights, thin air, and warm cacao shared with people from all around the world after a 4–5 hour climb.

I was completely exhausted, so the only extra hike I did was a short 20-minute climb to the viewpoint, and it was more than worth it. Seeing the volcano erupt every 10 minutes was unreal. One of the most mind-blowing experiences of my life. Even at night, waking up in our shared cabin, we could see it glowing in the dark.

The next morning, after coffee and breakfast, we started the descent. About 2.5 hours down - fast, music in my ears, and honestly… pure fun.

This hike reminded me that the hardest paths often lead to the most unforgettable moments.

Would you try this? 🌋✨

(Swipe and read) This took me hours to create today ⏰ - 2025 in monthly flashbacks.

2025 was a year of growth, a year where I told myself after a big setback in 2024, to do everything I love. And even though it did not give me the results I wished for. I am proud of the things I did and those who I met along the way. 

2025 was a year that looks perfect on the instagram feed (and nothing I post is fake!) - but never forget instagram is a highlight reel. Beyond a lot of beautiful highlights, there were a lot of equally deep lows. 

I am far from where I want to be in life. I am still not out of a very toxic environment, I still don’t have my dreamjob, and I still live with my parents - single (which I enjoy very much)

But one day it will reveal why life happened this way. Setbacks are often stepping stones for bigger things coming. I learned that the environments I was in, are not the ones I should be in. Pageantry and carreer wise - it opened my eyes in how hard it is to fight a system which is politic and not made to be beaten. 

I deserve to thrive in an environment with people that appreciate authenticity, people are respectful to each other and want to see each other win, instead of trying to destroy everything that mirrors their inner insecurities 🪞

May 2026 - a Leo year ♌️ - bring the change I am praying for. 🧿

(Swipe and read) This took me hours to create today ⏰ - 2025 in monthly flashbacks.

2025 was a year of growth, a year where I told myself after a big setback in 2024, to do everything I love. And even though it did not give me the results I wished for. I am proud of the things I did and those who I met along the way. 

2025 was a year that looks perfect on the instagram feed (and nothing I post is fake!) - but never forget instagram is a highlight reel. Beyond a lot of beautiful highlights, there were a lot of equally deep lows. 

I am far from where I want to be in life. I am still not out of a very toxic environment, I still don’t have my dreamjob, and I still live with my parents - single (which I enjoy very much)

But one day it will reveal why life happened this way. Setbacks are often stepping stones for bigger things coming. I learned that the environments I was in, are not the ones I should be in. Pageantry and carreer wise - it opened my eyes in how hard it is to fight a system which is politic and not made to be beaten. 

I deserve to thrive in an environment with people that appreciate authenticity, people are respectful to each other and want to see each other win, instead of trying to destroy everything that mirrors their inner insecurities 🪞

May 2026 - a Leo year ♌️ - bring the change I am praying for. 🧿

Most incredible moment of 2025, and actually one of the most incredible of my life. Hiking the Acatenago volcano in Guatemala was one of the most challenging things I have ever done in my life, but the reward of pushing my own limits felt unreal. This climb and activity was on top of my bucketlist and for sure one of the most rewarding things of the year! 🌋
