Being a Stewardess | One year of corona in aviation

02/03/2021 | 2 Reacties

When I drive past Schiphol in the early morning, or late at night after Miss World, and see the illuminated runways, I still feel those butterflies in my stomach. Schiphol is a magical place that I have admired since my childhood. A gateway to new adventures and special stories, I always wanted to be a part of that. As cliché as it may sound, “the sky is my home”. From an early age I already felt an enormous connection with aviation. And who follows his/her heart often gets where he/she belongs.

My airline feels like coming home, aviation feels like coming home. Even though I have a wonderful life on the ground, and I do all kinds of things besides my great job. Aviation is in my heart and soul, and I can never say goodbye to it. I got to know friends for life. Roos, Felitza, Michelle, Chrissy, Tessa, Stephanie and a lot of other special people

When I, 6 years ago, boarded for my first flight in then 8 years, I was even more sure than I was already as a child, that my heart was in aviation, and this was my place. It was the feeling of a new beginning, as if this was how it was supposed to happen. I still carry that feeling with me every day, and forever. When I get up in the morning, put on my uniform, high heels, red lipstick and look in the mirror, I think; I am allowed to do this job, I have made my dream come true, I am a flight attendant. And that feeling helps me through fun and slightly less fun flights and I take that thought with me every day. My heart and soul are in the air. It’s a part of me, a way of life I would never want to be separated from. I think aviation is a magical world that I would never want to leave.

One day, the masks will be gone, we will see people without masks on smile and hear wonderful stories from their travels. One day I will be in Dubai again enjoying myself with a nice crew, in Groningen again, or at another beautiful destination that will come. These are uncertain times, but remember; bad times are never forever. Often things get worse before they get better.

Don’t make me walk when I want to fly.

Note: In this blog post I have a lot of nice photos from before the Corona crisis / measures. So these are photos from before corona and the distance/mask rule.

Als ik langs Schiphol rijd op de vroege ochtend, of laat op de avond na Miss World, en de verlichtte landingsbanen zie, dan voel ik nog altijd die kriebels in mijn buik. Schiphol is een magische plek, die ik sinds kinds af aan al bewonder. Een poort naar nieuwe avonturen en bijzondere verhalen, daar wilde ik altijd een onderdeel van zijn. Hoe cliché het ook klinkt, ‘the sky is my home’. Sinds jongs af aan voelde ik al een enorme verbinding met de luchtvaart. En wie zijn hart volgt, komt vaak waar zij/hij hoort.

Mijn airline voelt als thuis komen, de luchtvaart voelt als thuis komen. Ook al heb ik een prachtig leven op de grond, en doe ik van alles naast mijn mooie baan, zit de luchtvaart in mijn hart en ziel. Van die wereld zal ik nooit afscheid kunnen nemen. Ik heb er vriendinnen voor het leven leren kennen; Roos, Felitza, Michelle, Chrissy, Tessa, Stephanie en een hoop andere bijzondere mensen

Toen ik, inmiddels 6 jaar geleden aan boord stapte voor mijn eerste vlucht in toen der tijd 8 jaar, wist ik nog zekerder dat mijn hart in de luchtvaart lag, en dit mijn plek was. Het was een gevoel van een nieuw begin, alsof dit zo hoorde te gebeuren. Dat gevoel draag ik nog altijd, en voor altijd elke dag met mij mee. Als ik in de ochtend opsta, mijn uniform, hoge hakken aantrek, rode lippenstift op doe en in de spiegel kijk dan denk ik; ik mag dit werk doen, ik heb mijn droom waar gemaakt, ik ben stewardess. En dat gevoel helpt mij door leuke, en ietjes minder leuke vluchten heen en die gedachte neem ik elke dag mee. Mijn hart en ziel ligt in de lucht. Het is een deel van mij, een manier van leven waar ik nooit afstand van zou willen doen. Ik vind de luchtvaart een magische wereld waar ik nooit uit zou willen vertrekken.

Op een dag, zullen de mondkapjes weg zijn, zullen we mensen zonder masker zien lachen en prachtige verhalen horen van hun reizen. Op een dag zit ik weer in Dubai te genieten met een leuke crew, in Groningen, of op een andere mooie locatie die komt. Het zijn onzekere tijden, maar onthoud; slechte tijden zijn nooit voor altijd. Vaak gaat het eerst slechter voor het beter wordt. 

Don’t make me walk, when I want to fly.

Note: In deze blogpost heb ik nog een hoop leuke foto’s van vóór de Corona crisis/maatregelen. Dit zijn dus foto’s van vóór corona en de mondkapjes/afstand plicht.

One day I realized:

I wasn’t afraid of being and travelling alone.

I was afraid of losing my life while waiting for someone else.

So I booked the flight. ✈️

What’s something you’ve been waiting for?

Based on facts 🌴✈️ Can you relate?

"What do you like to do for fun?"

Leave the country.

New places, new people, new stories.
Every single time.

At what point does it stop being a hobby and become a personality trait? 😂

Mini cut from last weekend in Marbella

Guatemala, one of the most heartwarming places I’ve experienced so far. A destination that still crosses my mind almost daily. And now in my top 5 favorites.

After being lucky enough to solo travel to so many beautiful places around the world, Guatemala instantly became one of the places that touched me the most.

The people, the atmosphere, the volcanoes, Lake Atitlán, the coffee, the food, UNESCO Antigua… this country has a soul that is difficult to describe unless you’ve experienced it yourself.

I met beautiful humans I still speak to from time to time, and I’m grateful to now call some incredible Guatemalans my friends.

I travelled here with my new camera, and I’m so thankful I was able to capture parts of this beautiful country through my own eyes, while also collaborating with amazing companies along the way.

I remember my eyes being teary while being on a boat at Lake Atitlan, and the moment I saw the Volcano erupt during the hike - one of the most challenging things I have ever done. 

Some places impress you.
Others stay with you.
Guatemala did both. 🌋🇬🇹

Pictures by me using my Sony Alpha A6100 + portrait lens, and @luzd_23 📸

Gracias @freecerveza for the awesome stay! & @lavatrails.gt for the AMAZING hike!

Wait for the end! ✈️ 
Some women wait for love to start living.
I booked the ticket anyway. 

Some of the most beautiful moments of my life happened because I stopped waiting, for permission, for certainty, for someone to come with me.

Solo travelling taught me that freedom can be lonely sometimes, but also deeply empowering. It gave me sunsets in countries I once only dreamed about, strangers that became memories, confidence I never learned at home, and versions of myself I would’ve never met if I stayed safe.

I may not have everything figured out yet, but I’ve lived. Deeply. Wildly. Internationally.
And honestly? That already makes me rich in life.

I know it’s not a possibility for every woman in the world to do this. Something travel also showed me over and over again.

Tulum, mi destino mágico 🌙🌴🌵
Some months ago I had the beautiful privilege to stay at @villa_hunab_ku multiple times - an absolute masterpiece and truly my aesthetic dream place in Tulum.

I remember sitting in the bathtub on the balcony of the master bedroom, the one I chose out of the five… in complete silence. Just looking out into the trees, feeling the warmth, and realizing how incredibly grateful I felt in that moment.

Grateful to be able to create a life where I get to travel, experience places like this, and even work with them. Something that once felt far away, and now feels like something I’ve slowly built for myself - step by step, by staying true to who I am and not letting other people’s opinions define me or hold me back.

At this villa, everything felt calm.
Safe. Peaceful. Grounded.

Waking up slowly, biking through Aldea Zamá to Nimenõ for my favorite coffee and breakfast just a few minutes away… those simple moments that end up meaning the most.

This villa is perfect for a group trip or something like a bachelorette, but I also loved experiencing it in my own way. Having the space to myself, inviting friends over sometimes, and just enjoying the balance between connection and stillness.

That balance felt very aligned with me.

Gracias en todos, @villa_hunab_ku 🤍

Tulum, mi destino mágico 🌙🌴🌵 Some months ago I had the beautiful privilege to stay at @villa_hunab_ku multiple times - an absolute masterpiece and truly my aesthetic dream place in Tulum. I remember sitting in the bathtub on the balcony of the master bedroom, the one I chose out of the five… in complete silence. Just looking out into the trees, feeling the warmth, and realizing how incredibly grateful I felt in that moment. Grateful to be able to create a life where I get to travel, experience places like this, and even work with them. Something that once felt far away, and now feels like something I’ve slowly built for myself - step by step, by staying true to who I am and not letting other people’s opinions define me or hold me back. At this villa, everything felt calm. Safe. Peaceful. Grounded. Waking up slowly, biking through Aldea Zamá to Nimenõ for my favorite coffee and breakfast just a few minutes away… those simple moments that end up meaning the most. This villa is perfect for a group trip or something like a bachelorette, but I also loved experiencing it in my own way. Having the space to myself, inviting friends over sometimes, and just enjoying the balance between connection and stillness. That balance felt very aligned with me.
