Photo Report | Visiting the Miss Netherlands 2016 finale

02/10/2016 | Reageer

mandyvictoria_missnl_blogpost12

Previous Monday, I have visited the Miss Netherlands 2016 finale.
As I had told in the post ‘Meeting Miss Netherlands & My new Given dress’ I won a social media competition which also included 5 tickets to the finale of Miss Netherlands 2016.
Afgelopen maandag heb ik de finale van Miss Nederland 2016 bezocht. Zoals ik al eerder heb verteld in mijn post ‘Meeting Miss Netherlands & My new Given dress’, heb ik een social media wedstrijd gewonnen waar ik o.a 5 kaarten voor de Miss Nederland 2016 finale heb gewonnen.
mandyvictoria_missnl_blogpost
Four of my friends and I went on our way to Studio 21 in Hilversum by car.
I was very enthusiastic for the finale, because I look up to beauty pageants (+ hope to join a beauty pageant one day… if it’s within my opportunities) and follow Miss Netherlands and other beauty pageants quite some time on social media. This is because I think it’s so amazing if you get an opportunity like that, and I’m quite interested in seeing how it all goes. And ofcourse, because of all the glitter & glamour!
Samen met vier vriendinnen, ging ik onderweg naar Studio 21 in Hilversum met de auto. Ik was erg enthousiast voor de finale, omdat ik opkijk naar miss verkiezingen. (+ooit op een dag hoop ik er met een mee te kunnen doen.. mocht dat een mogelijkheid zijn), en ik volg Miss Nederland en andere Miss verkiezingen al een lange tijd op social media, omdat ik het gaaf vind als mensen die kans krijgen en ik het leuk vind om te zien hoe missverkiezingen in hun werk gaan. En natuurlijk, om alle glitter & glamour!

To finish this post – I really liked the evening. The finale was really well put together and each of the finalists was beautiful in their own way. It was also nice to see such a variety of talents and show parts. What is your vision on beauty pageants? I’m quite enthusiastic about it. How about you?
Om deze post af te sluiten – Ik vond het een leuke avond. De finale was erg goed gevuld en ieder van de finalistes was mooi op hun eigen manier. Het was ook erg leuk om een variatie aan talenten en onderdelen te zien. Wat is jullie mening over missverkiezingen? Ik ben er erg enthousiast over. En jullie?

80 second solo trip throwback to Medellín - April this year 🇨🇴✈️
My second time in Colombia. 

One spontaneous decision — and suddenly, I was on my way back to Colombia.
Booked just one day before flying, this trip took me from Madrid to Medellín — my second time here since 2022.

I had no fixed plan. Just a craving for sunshine, freedom, and that familiar energy that makes Colombia feel so alive.

My days were filled with small, beautiful moments: breakfast at Hija Mija, wandering through El Poblado, visiting Comuna 13 with its colors and street art, slow mornings with coffee at Pergamino, and fun nights out in Provenza.

One of my highlights was finally crossing paragliding off my list — floating above the city between clouds and mountains, completely free.

And then, the simple joy of hostel life — laughing and talking for hours with my roommates, Patricia, Frankie, and Charlie. I’ll never stop loving how quickly women connect in those shared dorms; it’s instant trust and warmth.

This time, Medellín felt calmer and softer than my first trip, but still full of heart, color, and kindness.
Not just a place I visited — a place I felt.

If you’ve ever thought about visiting Colombia, let this be your sign.
Go — stay in a hostel, meet people from all over, try the coffee, fly above the city, and let Medellín surprise you too.
