Colombia travel diary | solo trip to Colombia part 1

20/10/2022 | 2 Reacties

Hi everyone! My solo trip to Colombia was really fantastic. During my trip to Mexico, I got inspired by others to take this Colombia trip. I regularly saw cool things from Cartagena on social media and from others, so decided to plan this trip. I am a down to earth person who is not easily scared, but when I found out that I would arrive at my destination in the dark, I got really scared. Especially after I read that it is best not to walk around in the dark on your own, let alone with beautiful jewelry, your phone or other expensive things. I would like to tell you how this journey went in these posts. Long story short – It was fantastic! [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Getsemani

29/09/2022 | Reageer

In the meantime I have not even been back for 10 days from my beautiful Colombia trip. I did this outfit shoot together with Karmen Cartagena – this is also really my favorite outfit from Cartagena and I think it fits perfectly with this place. These photos were taken in beautiful Getsemani. If you are looking for a nice photographer during your trip to Cartagena, I highly recommend her. I did this shoot during my last day in Cartagena. I wanted to have guaranteed good photos of my solo trip. I got about 20% off the original price on this shoot, as a partial collaboration. [Lees meer…]

No one is more alive than the girl making up for the years she lost in survival mode. ✨

I turned 30 knowing exactly what I want from life - I’m just not there yet. I was there years ago, but the bar changed. 

I’ve worked since I was 21, my dream job at that time, but haven’t landed my long-haul dream yet. I’ve never had the long, safe love I want. I still live at home during a housing crisis.

And yes, my Instagram is a highlight reel. Every beautiful moment I share is real - but so are the parts you don’t see.

People sometimes tell me not to share the struggles because “people enjoy seeing you fail.” But those people occupy so little space in my mind that I genuinely forget they exist.

I’d rather be real.

So while I’m building the life I actually want, I’m not waiting to start living. I travel the world alone, chase experiences, meet people, create, dream and collect memories along the way.

I know where I want to go. I’m just not there yet.
And I refuse to call the journey there a failure. 🤍🌎
