Being a stewardess | Layover in Pisa

12/10/2025 | Reageer

Lately, I’ve been taking a bit more time for myself. My mind has been busy with so many things, and as a result, I’ve been less active on social media. But a few weeks ago, something rare happened — I got to go on a work trip! At my airline, we almost never stay overnight at destinations. Most of my travels are done using staff tickets during my free time, so whenever I actually get to stay somewhere, I try to make the most of it.
This trip definitely had to be earned — we operated three packed flights starting at 6 a.m., and finally arrived at our hotel around 3:30 in the afternoon. Still, it felt amazing to be somewhere new, even if just for a short while. We had about 14.5 hours of rest before our return flights, so of course, we decided to make the most of it.

After a quick change, our crew jumped into a taxi to the city center of Pisa. Naturally, the iconic Leaning Tower was our first stop! We enjoyed the sunshine, had some drinks on a terrace, and ended the evening with a lovely dinner together.

Around 10 p.m., we returned to the hotel since our wake-up call was early. By 7 a.m., we were already having breakfast, and at 7:30 we were on our way back to the airport for another day of flying.

I really enjoyed Pisa — it’s small, charming, and perfect for a half-day visit. If you ever find yourself nearby, definitely stop by, take a stroll through the old streets, enjoy a cappuccino in the sun, and of course… take that classic leaning-tower photo 😉

De afgelopen tijd ben ik wat meer op mezelf geweest. Ik zat mentaal met van alles in mijn hoofd, waardoor mijn focus wat minder bij social media lag. Maar drie weken geleden had ik eindelijk weer eens iets bijzonders om naar uit te kijken: een werkreis! Bij mijn airline verblijven we namelijk zelden op bestemming — de meeste van mijn reizen maak ik met staff tickets in mijn vrije tijd. Dus áls ik dan een keer mag blijven, probeer ik er alles uit te halen.

Deze trip kwam niet zomaar aanwaaien: we hadden drie volle vluchten vanaf zes uur ’s ochtends, en kwamen pas rond half vier in de middag aan in ons hotel. Toch voelde het heerlijk om even écht ergens te zijn. We hadden zo’n 14,5 uur vrij voor onze terugvluchten — en daar wilden we natuurlijk het beste van maken.

Na een snelle outfitwissel sprongen we met de crew in een taxi richting het centrum van Pisa. En ja, de beroemde toren mocht natuurlijk niet ontbreken! We genoten van het zonnetje, dronken iets op een terras en sloten de avond af met een gezellig etentje in de stad.

Rond tien uur waren we terug in het hotel — de wekker stond vroeg voor het ontbijt en onze pickup om half acht. Om zeven uur zaten we alweer met de crew aan tafel, moe maar voldaan, klaar voor de terugvluchten.

Ik vond Pisa een verrassend leuke bestemming — klein, charmant en perfect voor een halve dag. Mocht je ooit in de buurt zijn: plan een korte stop, wandel wat rond, drink een cappuccino op een Italiaans terras, en natuurlijk… maak die iconische torenfoto.

The only person in charge of giving you everything you want in life - is yourself 🍃

My little place of tranquility 🍃 - back in November at @homatulum | I got to stay here for 4 nights on my own in a guarded studio, and enjoyed my time in the Tulum jungle. 

Did you know I filmed all of this myself and with a tripod? ✨

When a place fits your aesthetic ✨🍃
Hotel Babel, you understood the assignment. @babel.tulum 

Tulum energy. Calm soul. Perfect details.

Hotel Babel felt like home the moment I walked in.
Quiet mornings, beautiful details, jungle air and that soft Tulum magic.

Saving this one in my heart.

POV: You get to stay at your dream villa in Tulum 🌴
Villa Hunab-Ku @villa_hunab_ku 🍃

Imagine having your own dream villa at your favorite place in the world! 

I had an amazing 4 night stay at this incredible villa. A villa perfect for a bachelorette, family visit, party or lucky me - for myself!

This beautiful place has 5 bedrooms. My personal favorite was the Bali master bedroom - which I chose to sleep in - and the Zen bathroom - A Japanese style bathroom with a yoga garden.

Would you stay here with your friends?
