It is official! Tulum is my favorite place in the world. After 3 visits in 11 months, I can certainly confirm that! There is no place in the world where I feel more peaceful and at home, despite my personal circumstances that I have told you about earlier, which are unfortunately connected to this place. You can wear what you want, live how you want, be how you want, and no one judges you. Apart from the fact that Tulum is very expensive in a lot of things, I am grateful to have some collaborations here and to use my crew tickets – which allow me to visit this beautiful place regularly.

The place where I am in the photos is EDITION, a cocktail bar in a luxury hotel in Tokyo. Together with a friend who lives in Japan – Anita, I went to have a cocktail with her at this place. I really wanted to go to a rooftop bar in Japan this time, so she took me to this place. I have no cooperation with the brand of my dresses. I buy from here regularly – especially during sales, or even through Vinted. The back of this dress has a very nice open back with a bow, and I bought it especially for my 3rd Japan trip. Lavish Alice is one of my favorite brands and sells dresses with unique designs and beautiful colors. A lot of new travel posts will be online soon. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone! I literally posted this blog post from Tokyo! I am currently here for the 3rd time on holiday (solo). I got this beautiful neon dress from my sister. It fits really small, so I wear an L with my size 36. The place where I am here is Roppongi Hills – Tokyo cityview. This viewpoint was still on my list, so I visited this place with a friend who lives in Japan. Entrance to this place, including the open platform, costs 2500 yen. These photos are also from today. I am very happy that Japan’s borders have been open again since a few months, so I decided to go back to Tokyo for 9 days during my 5 weeks of part-time and vacation. At the moment, I still have 3 days to go before I am back in the Netherlands. [Lees meer…]

Portugal travel diary | 4 day party weekend in Lisbon

| Reageer

Last October I traveled to Lisbon for the 4th time as a city trip. Nicole is a school friend of mine whom I know from my studies. In 2019 I visited her with another former classmate because she lived here for a while before her education. Lisbon is my favorite city in Europe, so I really wanted to go back. We flew together from Eindhoven airport to Lisbon and I was allowed to invite Nicole to see the landing from the cockpit. [Lees meer…]

If there’s an outfit I’ve worn a lot in the past 3 years, it’s this classy look. Red is my favorite color and wearing red empowers me. When I wear this outfit, I feel elegant and confident, wearing a good outfit enhances that feeling. This classy look and this dress are timeless, so I expect to wear it often in the future. I once bought it at Diva Catwalk, and I don’t expect to ever get tired of this dress. When I was still participating in Miss Netherlands for Miss World, this dress was one I was often wearing.

Mexico travel diary (extra long) | one month solo in Mexico part 3

| Reageer

In this post, I will also tell about my last days in Mexico, Playa del Carmen, Bacalar and the amazing other things and places I got to experience during my last days here. Chitzen-Itza is one of the wonders of the world that I was eager to visit and hadn’t visited last time. Moreover, I hadn’t crossed off a single wonder of the world so far! I thought I really had to do this during my month here. Basically the most touristy thing you can do in this area, but very cool to experience. Besides, it was a good idea for me to leave Tulum today and go out with a friend, after everything from the day before. [Lees meer…]

Mexico travel diary | one month solo in Mexico part 2

| Reageer

This morning on November 22 started with an extensive brunch with Cyni at Ki’bok coffee in La Veleta – next to Tulum jungle gym, where I went with my rented bike from my hostel. I have to tell you that I reach almost everything here in Mexico within the villages by bicycle. We ate divinely delicious chilaquiles at this place – which I definitely want to come back for! After lunch we would go with Cyni’s friends to Vagalume, where they also allowed me to enter without an entrance fee and without a minimum spend. Via google maps I followed my way on my bike alone through quite remote roads and I have to tell you that I found that the only time I didn’t feel safe – and that during the day! In the end I suffered on the beach with Cyni’s dear friends – Vagalume is a cool high-end beach club that is known for the ‘hands’ that many people take pictures with. It was very nice to have a drink and relax here. [Lees meer…]

Dressing feminine, refined, stylish and elegant makes me feel powerful and confident. I’m wearing the most beautiful white dress from The Pretty Dress Company. I like to show my femininity through beautiful outfits and beautiful dresses. I really like to wear beautiful elegant tight dresses that fall over the knee. Not only that, but I have had a number of collaborations with this great company and I am always very happy when I receive a beautiful, luxurious and good quality dress from them. The designs are timeless and suitable for many occasions. [Lees meer…]

Mexico travel diary | one month solo in Mexico part 1

| 1 Reactie

On November 17th, I left for Mexico for the 2nd time in a year. This is the ‘official’ 8th trip of this year. This first part is in Playa del Carmen, Holbox and Tulum – the first part of my journey. The reason why I would go for more than a month is because I wanted to bridge the winter in the Netherlands during my annual leave, I wanted to go back to dear friends who live there, I wanted to travel solo again and because my (now former) long-distance love lived in Tulum and I had met there earlier this year – which was originally my biggest reason to stay this long. In this travel diary I explain to you like a diary what I have done and visited during this trip, together with tips. I don’t make this diary too personal, because this trip went differently than the original plan why I came here. [Lees meer…]
