Outfit | Aldea

13/12/2025 | Reageer

Hi everyone! Less than 72 hours ago, I returned from 30 days in Mexico and Guatemala – I’m so grateful that I was able to offer this to myself and experience it. These two beautiful destinations have taught me so much, given me so much, and left me with an immense sense of gratitude. That’s why I’m so excited to share my new (solo) travel diaries soon, plus a travel diary from before this wonderful, very recent trip.

This outfit post is from an exceptional location. During my last trip, I enjoyed four nights in the most beautiful Tulum villa I’ve ever visited: Villa Hunab-Ku in Aldea Zama – coincidentally, it’s also nearby of my friends’ apartment. A huge thank you to the entire team! More to come soon!

The holidays are just around the corner, and it’s a bit of a shift from sunny, tropical Mexico to the cozy, cooler Netherlands. But it’s so wonderful to be back in my own country, even though Mexico truly feels like my second home. Like every end of the year, it brings so many plot twists, but I always see these as hidden lessons and blessings to make you stronger.

By the way, these photos were taken with my new camera! After 10 years, I was forced to replace my Sony Alpha A5000—which I’ve used for many trips and outfit shoots. I used the portrait lens for these photos.

Hi allemaal! Nog geen 72 uur geleden ben ik teruggekomen uit 30 dagen Mexico en Guatemala – wat ben ik enorm dankbaar dat ik dit heb kunnen bieden aan mijzelf en heb mogen meemaken. Deze twee prachtige bestemmingen hebben mij veel geleerd, veel gebracht en ontzettend veel dankbaarheid laten voelen. Ik heb daarom ook superveel zin jullie binnenkort mee te nemen in mijn nieuwe (solo) travel diaries + een travel diary van vóór deze prachtige zeer recente reis.

Deze outfit post is op een hele bijzondere plek, ik heb afgelopen reis 4 nachten mogen genieten in de mooiste Tulum villa die ik ooit heb bezocht. Villa Hunab-Ku in Aldea Zama, toevallig óók nog eens op loopafstand van het appartement van mijn vrienden. Ontzettend bedankt aan het hele team! Binnenkort meer!

De feestdagen staan om te hoek, en het is even schakelen van zonnig tropisch Mexico naar cozy frisser Nederland. Maar wat ontzettend leuk weer in mijn eigen landje te zijn, ondanks Mexico oprecht voelt als mijn tweede thuis. Zoals ieder eind van het jaar, brengt het zo ontzettend veel ‘plot twists’ met zich mee, maar ik zie dit altijd als verborgen lessen en blessings om je sterker te maken.

Overigens zijn deze foto’s gemaakt met mijn nieuwe camera! Na 10 jaar heb ik mijn Sony Alpha A5000 – waar ik veel reizen mee heb gemaakt en outfits mee heb geshoot – noodgedwongen moeten vervangen. Ik heb voor deze foto’s de portretlens gebruikt.

One day you’ll realize you were never “too much”. You were just in the wrong place, around the wrong people.

What’s one thing you’ve been told you’re “too much” for? 👇

Come spend 5 days in 2 minutes with me in Paris during Fête de la Musique. 🇫🇷✨

From quiet morning streets to music echoing through every corner of the city, this is Paris at its most alive. Grab a coffee, wander with me, and soak up the atmosphere. 🎶☕️

Would you visit Paris during Fête de la Musique?

Some places don’t just match your outfit… they match your soul. ☀️🌴 When the sun & Tulum are your aesthetic 🥥

It changed my life.

Not because of the beaches, the sunsets, or the endless tacos.

Mexico taught me that life can be bigger than the version I was settling for.

It was the first place that showed me freedom doesn’t come from having everything figured out, it comes from trusting yourself enough to take the next step.

It gave me lifelong friendships, unforgettable adventures, confidence I didn’t know I had, and the courage to build a life that feels like mine.

I arrived as someone looking for a holiday.

I left with a completely different perspective on what was possible.

And honestly?

A part of me never really came back. 🇲🇽✨

POV: You spent your 20s in beauty competitions.

People see the gowns, the crowns, the photos and the stage.

What they don’t see are the early mornings, the self-doubt, the courage it takes to keep showing up, and the growth that happens long after the spotlight fades.

My twenties taught me that beauty competitions were never really about beauty.

They were about finding my voice.
About learning confidence.
About standing on a stage when I was terrified.
About representing causes I care about.
About inspiring others to embrace who they are.

I had the honor of competing in:

✨ Miss World
✨ Miss Universe
✨ Miss Grand International
✨ Miss Cosmo
✨ Miss International (selected to represent the Netherlands internationally, later cancelled due to COVID)

The titles were never the biggest reward.

The friendships, lessons, resilience, opportunities, and the woman I became along the way will always mean more than any crown ever could.

To the younger version of me who dreamed of standing on those stages: we did it. 💫
