Mexico travel diary (Extra long) | Friend reunion in Tulum & Playa del Carmen – part 2

01/03/2024 | Reageer

Hi everyone! Welcome to the second part of my travel diary! In this part, I will mainly share with you my days in Tulum, and a few days in Playa del Carmen. My travel diaries are a personal diary and travel portfolio to read for you and for myself to read back and remember everything better. Once again, I would like to share that due to personal circumstances, I kept certain things personal and did not write them in my travel diary. Some memories are for the heart only, too personal or too emotional to share with the world online. This is the case in a few past travel diaries. In this travel diary, I will share my tips and experiences with you from my last trip, I hope you enjoy reading this! Under the tab ‘Travel – Mexico’ you can find all of my previous Mexico trips.

To start my second part with a little piece from my heart – Every single 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 suprises that always come to me when I follow my heart and go back. My life literally changed when I went there solo for the first time in 2022. Cheers to the fact that this 4th time here will not be my last time. This place feels like my second home by now. Grateful for the fantastic network I have build here and how this place became like a second home for me since 2022. No matter the circumstances and what has been thrown at me – I did not let it stop me from going back, because the universe rewards those with a brave soul.

Hi allemaal! Welkom bij het tweede deel van mijn reisdagboek! In dit deel zal ik met name mijn dagen in Tulum, en enkele dagen in Playa del Carmen met jullie delen. Mijn reisdagboeken zijn voor mij een persoonlijk dagboek en reisportfolio, om voor jullie te lezen en om voor mijzelf terug te lezen en alles beter te onthouden.  Opnieuw vooropgesteld wil ik delen dat door persoonlijke omstandigheden, ik bepaalde dingen persoonlijk heb gehouden en niet in mijn reisdagboek heb geschreven. Sommige herinneringen zijn alleen voor het hart, te persoonlijk of te emotioneel om online met de wereld te delen. Dit is in meer afgelopen reisdagboeken het geval. Ik ga in dit reisdagboek mijn tips en ervaringen met jullie delen van afgelopen reis, ik wens jullie veel leesplezier! Onder het kopje ‘Travel – Mexico’ kunnen jullie al mijn eerdere reizen terugvinden.

Om mijn tweede deel te beginnen met een klein stukje uit mijn hart – Elke keer dat ik naar Mexico kom, evolueer en groei ik. Het voelt als de plek waar mijn ziel thuiskomt en ik mij de meest zelfverzekerde, gelukkige, dankbare en krachtige versie van mezelf voel. Tulum is een plek met veel magie en verrassingen die altijd op mijn pad komen als ik mijn hart volg en naar deze prachtige plek terugga. Mijn leven veranderde letterlijk toen ik er in 2022 voor het eerst solo naartoe ging. Proost op het feit dat deze 4e keer hier niet mijn laatste keer zal zijn. Het is vanaf nu mijn tweede thuis. Dankbaar voor het fantastische netwerk dat ik hier heb opgebouwd en hoe deze plek sinds 2022 voor mij een tweede thuis is geworden. Ongeacht de omstandigheden en wat er ook op mij afkomt en afkwam – ik heb mij er niet door laten weerhouden om terug te gaan, want het universum beloont degenen met een moedige ziel.

Day 7 – Tulum – 31-01-2024

Even though it’s high season in Tulum in January, it wasn’t as busy as I expected it to be. The moment I arrived here, was not long after the ‘Afterlife’ festival, so many people had already left. I’ve actually never seen it so calm out of all the times I’ve been there. Literally every time I come back, a lot has changed. For example, the public free beach part of Tulum is now paid access, and a lot has opened up or closed down – a lot was changing in this area. Ruben and I went to Pancho Villa for great nachos – one of my favorite places in Tulum on the public beach side (towards the ruins). We cycled to this place together from our hostels in the sun, with a view of the beautiful sea as we entered the area. Every time I see the beautiful ocean here, I am speechless and feel at peace.

We parked our bikes at Playa Maya – and headed towards Pancho from there. Once we arrived, Ruben and I ordered one plate of their amazing nacho’s to share, as the plates here are very big. We were the only guests when we arrived, and could use the sunbeds for free, because we were coming to eat and drink anyway. We spent a while here, had a nice swim and ordered a drink from Matcha Mama, located around the corner. I think the Caribbean Sea of Tulum – is the most beautiful sea I have visited during my travels! After this day activity – while we had headed back by taxi, because Ruben’s bicycle was locked to my bicycle and his key was missing – we left for La Negra Tomasa to eat. La Negra Tomasa is a big recommendation from the both of us. We also ate here during our last trip. It is located in down town / pueblo, quite cheap for Tulum, good quality food and cozy! Be sure to visit this place when you are in Tulum!

After renting new bikes, we cycled together to Mia Beach Club for Mystical Experiences. Please keep in mind that the road to the hotel area is very dark and bumpy in the evening. We came to this party without a fee, because our friend Felipe can put us on the guest list for many parties in and around Tulum, and would perform here together with his girlfriend as some of the DJs tonight. I am VERY grateful for this and the fact that thanks to them, I have had the opportunity to experience some really cool parties during my trips. It was great fun seeing them perform this evening and also getting together with our friends Cyni and Leon, that we would meet at the event later on.

Ondanks het in januari high-season is in Tulum, was het niet zo druk als ik had verwacht. Het moment dat ik kwam was ná festival ‘Afterlife’, waardoor veel mensen al waren vertrokken. Ik heb het eigenlijk nog nooit zo rustig gezien van alle keren dat ik er ben geweest. Letterlijk iedere keer dat ik terug kom, is er veel veranderd. Zo is het public gratis beach gedeelte van Tulum, nu 3 euro om enkel al binnen te treden, én is er veel geopend of gesloten. Ook op deze plek in Tulum was veel aan het veranderen. Ruben en ik gingen voor de geweldige nacho’s naar Pancho Villa – een van mijn favoriete plekjes in Tulum aan de public beach kant (richting de ruines). Dit fietsten we vanaf onze hostels samen in de zon, met uitzicht op de prachtige zee als we het gebied betraden. Telkens als ik de prachtige oceaan hier zie, ben ik sprakenloos en kom ik tot rust.

We parkeerden onze fietsen bij Playa Maya – en gingen vanaf daar richting Pancho. Ruben en ik bestelde dan ook direct bij aankomst één van de grote schalen nacho’s om te delen. We op het moment dat we kwamen even de enige gasten, en konden gebruik maken van de ligbedjes for free, omdat we sowieso kwamen eten en drinken. Hier hebben we lekker een poosje doorgebracht, lekker gezwommen en nog een drankje besteld bij Matcha Mama. Ik vind de Caribische zee van Tulum – de mooiste zee die ik tijdens mijn reizen heb bezocht! Hierna, na we deels zijn gaan lopen en deels met de taxi terug gegaan, omdat Ruben’s fiets aan mijn fiets gesloten stond en zijn sleutel weg was – zijn we vertrokken naar La Negra Tomasa om te eten. La Negra Tomasa is een dikke aanbeveling van ons beide. Hier hebben we afgelopen keer ook gegeten, het bevind zich in down town, is vrij goedkoop voor Tulum, goede kwaliteit eten en gezellig! Ga hier dan ook zeker langs als je in Tulum bent!

Na we nieuwe fietsen hadden gehuurd, fietsten we samen naar Mia Beachclub voor Mystical Experiences. Houd er rekening mee dat de weg naar de hotel area in de avond érg donker is en hobbelig. We kwamen op dit feest vrijblijvend binnen omdat onze vriend Felipe ons voor veel feesten in en rondom Tulum vrijblijvend op de gastenlijst kan zetten en hier samen met zijn vriendin als DJ’s zouden optreden vanavond – ik ben hier écht enorm dankbaar voor en het feit dat ik dankzij hen hele gave feesten mag en heb mogen meemaken. Het was erg leuk ze te zien optreden deze avond en ook samen te komen met onze vrienden Cyni en Leon.



Day 8 – Tulum – 01-02-2024

Like our previous trip, Ruben and I had breakfast again at Raw Love in downtown, after he suddenly showed up as a suprise at my room super early in the morning. I think Raw Love is very nicely decorated, cozy and tasty in terms of the food and drinks they offer here. I like to have a smoothie bowl or smoothie itself here. My choice this time was the delicious classic Raw Love smoothie bowl and a special iced coffee that I can’t remember the name of. We spent some time here, before heading back to Mia to chill at the beach. I really wanted a face jewel with Amazonite stones in it, and bought it for 40 euros after haggling (still expensive, but nice) – as a souvenir for myself on the beach. During my month in Mexico in 2022, I bought my favorite pair of earrings with the same type of stones on the beach as well. I also take that pair with me on every trip. After Mia, we ate again at La Negra Tomasa, and watched television shows at Cyni and Leon’s apartment.
Zoals onze vorige reis – gingen Ruben en ik opnieuw ontbijten bij Raw Love in down town, na hij super vroeg in de ochtend als verrassing ineens voor de deur stond. Ik vind het super leuk ingericht, sfeervol en de gerechten/drankjes smaakvol. Ik neem hier dan ook graag een smoothie bowl of smoothie zelf. Ik nam de heerlijke classic Raw Love smoothie bowl en een heerlijke ijskoffie waar ik de naam niet meer van weet. We brachten hier wat tijd door, vóór we opnieuw richting Mia zouden gaan om lekker aan het strand te gaan zitten. Ik wilde héél graag een face jewel met Amazonite stenen er in, en kocht er een voor 40 euro na afdingen (duur, maar mooi) – als souvenir voor mijzelf.  Tijdens mijn maand in Mexico in 2022, kocht ik dan ook op het strand mijn favoriete paar oorbellen met hetzelfde type stenen. Ik neem dat paar ook iedere trip opnieuw mee. Na Mia, aten we opnieuw bij La Negra Tomasa, en keken series in het appartement van Cyni en Leon.
Day 9 – Tulum – 02-02-2024

On the recommendation of dear Cinthia who works at Meteora (say hi to her from me if you’re staying at Meteora!), I decided to have breakfast at Prieto on the main road – also a nice tip for breakfast, lunch or coffee! Ruben and I met his roommate from Selina by coincidence, who joined us at our table once she spotted us. She suggested going to Holistica. We had never been there before, so the three of us decided to go there after getting some Copal from a local shop. If you want to visit Holistica – which I also recommend – it is free to visit and there are various paid activities that you can sign up for. The free art walk here was a fun activity.

Later, once I got back to Meteora, I went swimming alone in the beautiful pool and FaceTimed with friends in the Netherlands. Ruben wanted to rest and went out for dinner with his friends. I took my time to prepare myself extensively for the collaboration with Gitano (jungle room) this evening – to which I had invited Cyni. I’ve been looking forward to this evening full of fun plans all day! Gitano is a jungle style restaurant in the hotel zone. As a collaboration with a +1, I was able to enjoy two cocktails per person, a starter per person, a main course per person and a dessert to share. If you are looking for a nice restaurant in the hotel zone – I definitely recommend Gitano. Cyni and I met a lovely British couple in the meantime, who sat next to us, and ate delicious dishes. As a starter, we had the tuna tostada and the heirloom tomato & watermelon salad, as a main course both the tastiest steak I have eaten in Mexico so far – the carne asada flank steak (medium rare), and for dessert the cazulea de chocolate. If you are looking for super fast service, good quality food, a nice interior, a party evening on Friday and a nice place in the hotel zone – visit Gitano for sure!

After our dinner, Cyni and I would continue straight to Vagalume, which was only a few minutes’ walk away. We were invited again by our friend Felipe, to come to the Ten Ibiza party as guest listers. I also went to Vagalume in 2022 and 2023 – both once to the beach club itself at the invitation of a friend of Cyni’s and once at another Ten Ibiza party with Felipe and his girlfriend. It was nice to join Ruben, Felipe and his girlfriend here, and also friends of friends. At this popular place I also met many people whom I knew from my previous trips to Mexico. The photos taken at Vagalume were taken with the camera of a super sweet Swedish-American girl that offered taking pictures of me.

Op aanbeveling van lieve Cinthia die bij Meteora werkt (doe haar de groetjes van mij als je bij Meteora verblijft!), besloot ik te ontbijten bij Prieto aan de main road – ook een leuke tip voor ontbijt, lunch of koffie! Ruben en ik kwamen daar zijn Selina kamergenootje tegen die bij ons aan tafel kwam zitten, en vervolgens voorstelde om naar Holistica te gaan. We waren hier beide nog nooit geweest, dus besloten daar rond te kijken met zijn 3en na in een lokaal winkeltje wat Copal te kopen. Mocht je Holistica willen bezoeken – wat ik ook aanbeveel – het is gratis te bezoeken en er zijn diverse activiteiten tegen betaling waar je je voor kan opgeven. De gratis art walk hier was een leuke activiteit.

Uiteindelijk ben ik eenmaal terug bij Meteora in mijn eentje gaan zwemmen in het prachtige zwembad, en met vrienden in Nederland gaan facetimen. Ruben wilde rusten en ging met vrienden van hem uit eten – ik nam mijn tijd om mijzelf uitgebreid klaar te maken voor de samenwerking met Gitano (Jungle room) deze avond – waar ik Cyni voor had uitgenodigd. Ik keek de hele dag al uit naar deze avond vol leuke plannen! Gitano is een jungle style restaurant in de hotelzone. Ik mocht hier als samenwerking met een +1 uitgebreid genieten van twee cocktails per persoon, een voorgerecht per persoon, hoofdgerecht per persoon én een toetje om te delen. Als je een mooi restaurant zoekt in de hotel zone – raad ik Gitano zeker aan. Cyni en ik leerde hier een lief Brits stel tegen die naast ons zaten, en aten heerlijke gerechten. We hadden als voorgerecht de tuna tostada en de heirloom tomato & watermelon salad, als hoofdgerecht beide de lekkerste steak die ik tot zo ver in Mexico heb gegeten – de carne asada flank steak (medium rare), en als toetje de cazulea de chocolate. Als je super snelle service, goede kwaliteit eten, een mooi interieur, een party avond op vrijdag en mooie plek in de hotelzone zoekt – raad ik je Gitano erg aan!

Na ons etentje zouden Cyni en ik direct doorgaan naar Vagalume, wat maar enkele minuten lopen was. We waren opnieuw uitgenodigd door onze vriend Felipe, om naar het Ten Ibiza feest te komen als guest listers. Ik ben vorig jaar ook twee keer naar Vagalume geweest – beide een keer naar de beach club zelf op uitnodiging van een vriendin van Cyni én een keer op een ander Ten Ibiza feest met Felipe en zijn vriendin. Het was leuk hier bij Ruben, Felipe en zijn vriendin aan te sluiten, en daarnaast bij vrienden van vrienden. Op deze populaire plek kwam ik ook veel bekenden tegen die ik van mijn afgelopen trips naar Mexico ken. De foto’s die bij Vagalume gemaakt zijn, zijn gemaakt met de camera van een super lieve Zweedse-Amerikaanse meid die voorstelde een mini shoot te doen met haar camera.

  Day 10 – Tulum – 03-02-2024

Every day here in Tulum, I am looking forward to what beautiful, new and unexpected beauty the day will bring me. It feels wonderful that no day is ever the same here, and there is always something new to discover and experience. I feel incredibly grateful here, comfortable in my own skin and at home. There is no place in the world where I feel as happy as in Yukatan, especially in Tulum, Isla Holbox, Playa del Carmen and Bacalar. Like every day here in Tulum, I wake up wonderfully relaxed, exited, grateful and alone in my private room in Meteora. As soon as I open my curtain, I look down at the beautiful swimming pool outside with nice relaxing music in the background, and the rays of sunshine greet me in my room. It feels like I own my own cute little studio in downtown Tulum. I spoke to the Playa group a lot for the upcoming plans and especially Daniel daily, who would come to Tulum with the group for a super cool cenote party on Sunday. Ruben and I were going to spend the last two days together with them again, and were really looking forward to it – especially to the Cenote party. How much fun is your trip if you know it will end wonderfully with super cool new things on your schedule and a large, partly new group of friends? So we both already knew that our trip would end with a highlight activity, and that we could both stay at the apartments of different people from our group because we had not booked anything for the last night. So no stress – as Playa is pretty close to Cancun airport, and great prospects.

At Meteora I met Dutch/English Warren – a very kind man who was traveling partly alone, partly with his Dutch girlfriend. This evening, his girlfriend would fly in from the Netherlands, so he had no plans until that would happen today. I told him that I really wanted to go to Cenote Zacil-Ha, and since he also wanted to visit a Cenote, we decided to go together on his scooter. I think the entrance fee was 250 pesos per person. It was nice to spend an hour here and swim in the cold water. Zacil-ha is a super beautiful Cenote about 10-15 minutes by scooter from downtown Tulum. For enthusiasts – there is a zip line and a chlorine pool here. After swimming here, we had lunch together on my recommendation at Burrito Amor.

My last evening in Tulum ended while I packed my things and had a small bite to eat in downtown with live Mexican music – where I met sweet Stephanie (Warren’s girlfriend). Unfortunately, we didn’t have a photo with the 3 of us!

Iedere dag in Tulum heb ik veel zin in wat voor moois, nieuws en onverwachts de dag me gaat brengen. Het voelt heerlijk dat geen dag hier ooit hetzelfde is, en er altijd iets nieuws te ontdekken en ervaren valt. Ik voel me hier ontzettend dankbaar, lekker in mijn vel en thuis. Er is geen plek in de wereld waar ik me zo gelukkig voel als in Yukatan, met name in Tulum, Isla Holbox, Playa del Carmen en Bacalar. Zoals iedere dag hier in Tulum, word ik heerlijk rustig en alleen wakker in mijn privé kamer in Meteora. Zodra ik mijn gordijn open, kijk ik neer op het prachtige zwembad buiten met fijne ontspannende muziek op de achtergrond in het hotel en schijnen de zonnestralen in mijn kamer. Het voelt als mijn eigen schattige kleine studiootje in downtown Tulum. Ik sprak de Playa groep veel voor de aanstaande plannen en met name Daniel dagelijks, die samen met de groep naar Tulum zou komen voor een super gaaf cenote feest op zondag. Ruben en ik zouden de laatste twee dagen weer samen met hen doorbrengen en keken er enorm naar uit. Hoe leuk is je reis als je weet dat je het geweldig gaat eindigen met super gave nieuwe dingen op je planning en een grote deels nieuwe vriendengroep? We wisten dus beide al dat onze reis met een highlight activiteit zou eindigen, én we beide bij verschillende mensen uit onze groep konden overnachten omdat we voor de laatste nacht niks geboekt hadden. Geen stress dus én leuke vooruitzichten.

Ik leerde in Meteora Nederlands/Engelse Warren kennen – een ontzettend aardige man die deels alleen, deels met zijn Nederlandse vriendin aan het reizen was. Deze avond zou zijn vriendin ingevlogen komen uit Nederland, dus had hij vandaag nog geen plannen. Ik vertelde hem dat ik heel graag naar Cenote Zacil-Ha wilde, en gezien hij ook graag een Cenote wilde bezoeken – besloten we samen met zijn scooter te gaan. De entréé kosten waren geloof ik 250 pesos per persoon. Het was leuk hier een uurtje door te brengen en in het koude water te zwemmen. Het is een super mooie Cenote ongeveer 10-15 minuten per scooter vanaf downtown Tulum. Voor de liefhebbers – er is hier een zip line en een chloor zwembad. Hierna zijn we samen gaan lunchen op mijn aanbeveling bij Burrito Amor.

In de avond had ik mijn spullen ingepakt, en had nog een klein hapje gegeten in downtown met Mexicaanse live muziek – waar ik lieve Stephanie (de vriendin van Warren), had leren kennen. Jammer genoeg hadden we geen foto met zijn 3en!

Day 11 – Tulum & Playa del Carmen – 04-02-2024

Ruben and I were leaving Tulum today and returning to Playa del Carmen. Everything was arranged – we were both able to stay seperately with different people from our Playa group for the last night in Mexico, safely store our luggage that we had to take on site from Tulum to the party, and would move from Playa to the airport the day after . Ruben would fly back to Denver very early, I wouldn’t fly back to Amsterdam until late in the evening – so today would also be our farewell together. Although it was a shame that we would be leaving again tomorrow, we were really looking forward to today, and both felt that this day would be a great one. The planning for this day was visiting Buuts’ Ha’ – a Cenote club a 20-minute drive from Tulum. At that place, we would meet with the group, who would travel there from Playa del Carmen.

The check out time at Meteora was 12 o’clock and we were supposed to meet up with the group around 2 o’clock – so everything worked out great in terms of time and we were able to arrange some final things. We started the day together with a delicious breakfast, almost next to Ruben’s Selina hostel. It was a fairly priced place, super tasty and good quality with a local vibe – called Azul café. I had the insanely delicious nutella pancakes with banana, and a large cappuccino – I thought I deserved something amazing for my last day in Mexico! The staff is super sweet and the food was really delicious!

Cyni gave me the advice to not accept more than 400 pesos (22 euros) for 2 people combined in terms of taxi from Selina downtown to Buuts’ Ha’- I refused to pay the 600 that the man originally asked, and clearly said that I come here often and not pay more than 400 – the man accepted this. Always negotiate in Mexico regarding transportation! Together with our luggage, we left for the cenote club – where, funnily enough, we arrived at the same time as our group’s van from PDC. Daniel was kind enough to take all the luggage off my hands, arrange for it to be stored safely, and would take care of me for the rest of the day.

Thanks to Felipe (who wouldn’t be there), I was able to enjoy this party again with my beautiful new group of friends. I think Buuts’ Ha’ is really cool and it was really nice to be here for the first time. At this incredible place, you can party to good music and DJs, while literally swimming in a cenote. We had a lot of fun with great music, tasty snacks & drinks and the company of our group of friends. It feels like we have known them for years and like we have all been friends for a super long time. At the beginning of the evening, we left all together with the group in a van towards Playa del Carmen. I said goodbye to Ruben upon arrival in Playa, and we both went out for dinner with others from our group seperately. I am very grateful for the (memories of the) rest of this day, from this point on. In that regard, I also recommend Fusion, a restaurant by the sea with super tasty food and a cozy atmosphere. I loved it there.

Everything I experienced this day is also one of my favorite memories of my time in Mexico that I’ll keep in my heart forever. I would love to experience this day again from the start to the complete end.

Ruben en ik zouden vandaag Tulum verlaten en terugkeren naar Playa del Carmen. Alles was geregeld – we konden beide bij andere mensen uit onze Playa groep verblijven voor de laatste nacht in Mexico, onze bagage veilig opbergen die we terplekke mee moesten nemen vanuit Tulum naar het feest en van Playa door naar de luchthaven.  Ruben zou al heel vroeg terug naar Amerika vliegen, ik pas laat in de avond – waardoor vandaag dus ook ons afscheid zou zijn. Ondanks het jammer was dat we morgen weer zouden vertrekken, hadden we ontzettend veel zin in vandaag en voelde beide dat dit een top dag zou worden. We zouden naar Buuts’ Ha’ gaan – een cenote club op 20 minuten rijdafstand vanuit Tulum. Op die plek zouden we samenkomen met de groep, die zelf vanuit Playa del Carmen kwamen reizen.

De check out tijd was pas 12 uur én we zouden rond 2 uur afspreken met de groep – dus kwam alles qua tijd super goed uit en konden we wat laatste dingen regelen. We begonnen de dag samen met een héérlijk ontbijtje zo goed als naast Ruben’s Selina. Het was een vrij goedkoop, super lekker en goed plekje met een local vibe genaamd Azul café. Ik had hier de insane lekkere nutella pannenkoeken met banaan en een grote cappuccino– ik vond dat ik wel wat lekkers had verdient als laatste dag in Mexico! Het personeel is super lief en het eten was écht super lekker!

Cyni gaf me de tip vanaf Selina naar Buuts’ Ha qua taxi niet meer te accepteren dan 400 pesos (22 euro) voor 2 personen bij elkaar – ik weigerde de 600 die de man origineel vroeg, en zei duidelijk dat ik hier vaak kom en niet meer betaal dan 400 – dit nam de man dan ook aan. Onderhandel áltijd in Mexico qua vervoer! Samen met onze bagage, vertrokken we naar de cenote club – waar we grappig genoeg ook tegelijk aankwamen met het busje van onze groep. Daniel was zo lief alle bagage uit mijn handen te nemen en te regelen dat het veilig en wel opgeborgen stond en voor mij verder te zorgen de rest van deze hele dag.

Dankzij Felipe (die er niet bij zou zijn) kon ik opnieuw van dit feest genieten met mijn mooie nieuwe vriendengroep. Ik vind Buuts’ Ha’ écht super vet en heel leuk hier voor het eerst te zijn. Je kan feesten op goede muziek en dj’s, terwijl je letterlijk in een cenote zwemt. Het was ontzettend genieten op goede muziek, lekkere hapjes en drankjes en de gezelligheid van onze vriendengroep. Het voelt alsof we ze al jaren kennen en ook met onze nieuwe vrienden al super lang bevriend zijn. Aan het begin van de avond vertrokken we met de groep gezamenlijk in een taxibusje richting Playa del Carmen. Ik nam bij aankomst in Playa afscheid van Ruben, en beide gingen we apart van elkaar met anderen van onze groep uit eten en op pad. Ik ben erg dankbaar voor de rest van het vervolg van deze dag. Ik raad jullie dat betreft ook restaurant Fusion aan, een restaurant aan de zee met super lekker eten en een gezellige, fijne sfeer. Ik had het daar erg naar mijn zin.

Alles wat ik deze dag heb meegemaakt, is ook een mijn lievelingsherinneringen aan mijn tijd in Mexico die ik in mijn hart bewaar. Ik zou deze dag vanaf het start tot het complete einde met alle liefde opnieuw willen ervaren.

Day 12 & 13 – Playa del Carmen & Schiphol Airport Amsterdam  – 05-02-2024 & 06-02-2024

While I was still sleeping, Ruben was already on his way to America. I didn’t want to go home and I wanted to spend countless more days with these beautiful people. This day, I had planned to have a coffee and chat with Rita. We were both very happy that we could suddenly see each other due to the extension of the trip and my return to Playa del Carmen. I am grateful for my friendship with her. Before meeting up with Rita, I had eaten the tastiest croissant ever with pistachio filling at an Argentinian coffee place, where Daniel took me that morning – before he had to work all day. The cappuccino here was super large and very tasty too – Sad I didn’t write down the name! After that, I walked onto 5fth to have coffee with Rita at Ah Cacao in the Zazil-ha area. It was great to catch up with her and make plans for future meet-ups. I spent the rest of the day sunbathing and swimming on the roof terrace of the apartment where I was staying, before taking the taxi to the ADO Alterna station (you have two bus stations in Playa, keep that in mind when you book tickets) to go to the airport.
Toen ik nog lag te slapen, was Ruben al onderweg naar Amerika. Ik wilde niet naar huis en het liefste nog talloze dagen met deze mooie mensen doorbrengen. Deze dag had ik afgesproken om met Rita nog een koffietje te doen en te kletsen. We waren beide super blij dat we plotseling door de verlenging van de reis en het terugkeren van mij naar Playa del Carmen, elkaar nog konden zien. Ik ben dankbaar voor mijn vriendschap met haar. Vóór ik met Rita afsprak, had ik nog de lekkerste croissant ever gegeten met pistache vulling bij een Argentijns koffieplekje waar Daniel me naartoe nam vóór hij de hele dag moest werken. De cappuccino hier was super groot en ook erg lekker – ik baal wel dat ik de naam niet had opgeschreven! Daarna liep ik de 5fth op om koffie te gaan drinken samen met Rita bij Ah Cacao in het Zazil-ha gebied. Het was super leuk om met haar bij te kletsen en plannen te maken voor volgende meet-ups. Ik sloot de dag af met zonnen en zwemmen op het dakterras waar ik verbleef, vóór ik de taxi nam richting het ADO Alterna station (je hebt er twee in Playa, houd daar rekening mee als je tickets boekt) om naar de airport te gaan.
This trip was a trip that I will always hold dear to my heart. I am incredibly grateful for everything that came my way here. Things even more beautiful than I hoped!

I am extremely grateful to everyone for the new memories, especially Ruben, Cyni, Sahiri and her boyfriend Omar, Nadeem, Rita and especially Daniel. But also to Chantal, Lisa, Leon, Warren, Stephanie, Cinthia, Amanda, Felipe and his girlfriend, and all the other beautiful souls I’ve met from all over the world – like Jenna and sausage dog Georgia, Andruko, Christian, Shale, Tayla and the others. Thank you all for being a part of this wonderful journey and the new memories I have thanks to you. It was a trip that brought me a lot, healed me, motivated me, made me happy and gave me more inner peace – my first and fourth trip to Mexico are both in my top 5 of most beautiful trips in my travel history. I absolutely recommend you to go to Mexico. Go to a destination and form your own opinion – rather than rely on exaggerated stories. Read up about places and personal experiences, talk to others about their experiences and above all – draw your own conclusions. Don’t be guided by fear, but follow your heart!

I hope for you as a reader that you have enjoyed a look from my eyes, and that this may be the extra motivation or conviction to take a solo trip yourself. Although this trip was not entirely solo, thanks to my solo travels and connecting people, I did go on this journey and got to know and/or see this mix of beautiful people in different places around the world. After family, health and dear friends, (solo) traveling is the most beautiful thing I can and have experienced in my life. I don’t take this for granted and am all too aware of how precious this is and what a luxury it is to be able to do this. The best gifts I have ever given myself  are my (solo) trips.

Deze reis was een reis die mij altijd dierbaar zal zijn en ik in mijn hart zal bewaren. Ik ben ontzettend dankbaar voor alles wat mij hier op mijn pad kwam. Dingen nog mooier dan ik hoopte!

Ik ben iedereen onwijs dankbaar voor de nieuwe herinneringen, met name Ruben, Cyni, Sahiri en haar vriend Omar, Nadeem, Rita en met name Daniel. Maar ook Chantal, Lisa, Leon, Warren, Stephanie, Cinthia, Amanda, Felipe en zijn vriendin, en alle andere mooie zielen die ik heb leren kennen van over de hele wereld – zoals Jenna en teckel Georgia, Andruko, Christian, Shale, Tayla en de anderen. Dank jullie wel dat jullie een deel uitmaakte van deze prachtige reis en de nieuwe herinneringen die ik dankzij jullie heb. Het was een reis die me veel heeft gebracht, geheeld, gemotiveerd, gelukkig gemaakt en mij meer innerlijke rust gaf – mijn eerste en vierde reis naar Mexico zijn mijn top 5 mooiste reizen uit mijn historie aan reizen. Ik raad jullie absoluut aan naar Mexico te gaan. Ga naar een bestemming en trek je eigen mening – rather dan uitgaan van verhalen of aangedikte verhalen. Lees je goed in over plekken, praat met anderen over hun ervaringen en bovenal – trek je eigen conclusies. Laat je niet leiden door angst, maar volg je hart!

Ik hoop voor jou als lezer dat je genoten hebt van een kijkje vanuit mijn ogen, en dat dit wellicht het stukje extra motivatie of overtuiging is zelf een solo reis te maken. Al was deze reis niet geheel solo, dankzij mijn solo reizen en het verbinden van mensen, ben ik wel deze reis gaan maken en heb ik deze mix aan mooie mensen op verschillende plekken van de wereld leren kennen of gezien. Op familie, gezondheid en dierbare vrienden na, is reizen het mooiste wat ik in mijn leven kan en heb mogen ervaren. Ik neem dit niet voor lief en ben mij dan ook al te bewust hoe dierbaar dit is en wat een luxe het is dit te kunnen doen. Het beste cadeau dat ik mezelf ooit heb gegeven, zijn mijn soloreizen.

Special story 🌷🇳🇱 My great grandfather who was a fighter in the resistance (Het Verzet) 🕊️

May 4th and 5th in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, May 4th is Remembrance Day, when we pause to honor all Dutch victims of war and the freeing of the country. At 8:00 PM, we observe two minutes of silence in memory of those who lost their lives in World War II and in subsequent conflicts and peacekeeping missions. On May 5th, we celebrate Liberation Day, marking the end of the German occupation in 1945. It’s a time for gratitude, reflection, and appreciation of our freedom. To keep remembering how important this day in history is and how freedom is a human right.

For me, this time holds a deeper, personal meaning. My great-grandfather was a prominent resistance fighter in Den Bosch, whose actions had an impact far beyond the city — he fought for all of the Netherlands. His stories live on in our family, passed down through generations. Among them are letters received at home from Prince Bernhard, acknowledging his dedication and service to our country.

From a young age, my father told me a lot of stories about his heroic actions for the country. 

His courage and love for freedom are a powerful reminder of why we continue to remember — and celebrate.

A feeling of justice is literally in our DNA.

Tulum – a travel dream for many. I spent five wonderful nights here at @babel.tulum, waking up relaxed every morning in my own beautiful apartment. This stunning hotel is the perfect place to unwind, featuring a luxurious hot tub and steam room. Without a doubt, it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed at. The aesthetics are absolutely amazing. Apart of that - I really loved the amazing people working there 🤍

Highly recommend this place for your next getaway!

(Swipe) 🍃 My hair was a paid actor 🍃 - Cenotes, one of the Mexican wonders in Yucatan. Visiting Cenote Atik for the second time. This Cenote is a beautiful one to visit. Which I highly recommend to you for your Tulum list. The pictures you can take here are gorgeous and you can even access the museum if you want. Keep in mind that the price has almost doubled (!) over the past two years and the cenote is partially man made. Apart of that - it definitely is worth a visit, especially if it’s your first visit to Tulum. Next to Cenote Atik, there are thousands of them to choose from, which is a must do for your Mexico travel itinerary 🇲🇽
