Spain travel diary | 3 day short trip to Ibiza

21/06/2022 | Reageer

Hi everyone! Last month I went to Ibiza for 3 days. It was amazing and the island really surprised me. It was a last minute trip with a dear colleague just before my vacation to Mexico. It started at the beginning of the afternoon when we left with our airline (standby tickets) from Schiphol to Ibiza. After a wonderful flight with the lovely crew and sitting in the cockpit during the landing (which still remains beautiful, even though I have been a flight attendant for years), we went to the car rental that we arranged through our employer. Because Kanar – the colleague who was going to travel with me – drives an automatic car, I drove around the island on this trip. For me it was the first time to drive on a holiday destination, so it was very nice to have done that! [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone. The moment I make this post, I’m finally in Mexico! This outfit is from my Ibiza trip from earlier this month. I think it’s really cool how many neon colors I see coming back in collections this year, and this dress is one of them. In Dubai last year I wore something in this same cool color. I really like this dress and have had it in my closet for a few months now. In the Netherlands I don’t often have the opportunity to put on such cool dresses in my spare time, but on holiday I like to unpack! These photos were taken in front of my hotel swimming pool. I was in a nice quiet spot in Cala Llonga, quite a distance from all the partying. I came to Ibiza with the intention of relaxing, seeing the beautiful island, eating good food and touring with a car. These plans certainly worked! The same goes for Mexico. I am very curious what the next few days will bring me. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone! Last week I had 3 wonderful days in Ibiza. As usual it was not a trip for work, but just a mini vacation trip. In a few days I will finally be in Mexico! This time I have booked an actual ticket instead of a standby ticket. I don’t want to risk not getting on the flight again. This lovely dress is from Zara and funnily enough I spotted it 3x with other women in Ibiza when I was wearing it myself! Super nice in combination with my Gucci marmont super mini bag and low translucent block heels. This series of photos reminds me a bit of my outfit in Split. The best tip I can give you on a summer vacation is to take lots of pictures in the shadow! That’s where the light is often the best for an outfit shoot like this one. The photos were taken in the old town, I will soon tell you about my tips and experiences of Ibiza in a new travel diary. [Lees meer…]

It changed my life.

Not because of the beaches, the sunsets, or the endless tacos.

Mexico taught me that life can be bigger than the version I was settling for.

It was the first place that showed me freedom doesn’t come from having everything figured out, it comes from trusting yourself enough to take the next step.

It gave me lifelong friendships, unforgettable adventures, confidence I didn’t know I had, and the courage to build a life that feels like mine.

I arrived as someone looking for a holiday.

I left with a completely different perspective on what was possible.

And honestly?

A part of me never really came back. πŸ‡²πŸ‡½βœ¨

POV: You spent your 20s in beauty competitions.

People see the gowns, the crowns, the photos and the stage.

What they don’t see are the early mornings, the self-doubt, the courage it takes to keep showing up, and the growth that happens long after the spotlight fades.

My twenties taught me that beauty competitions were never really about beauty.

They were about finding my voice.
About learning confidence.
About standing on a stage when I was terrified.
About representing causes I care about.
About inspiring others to embrace who they are.

I had the honor of competing in:

✨ Miss World
✨ Miss Universe
✨ Miss Grand International
✨ Miss Cosmo
✨ Miss International (selected to represent the Netherlands internationally, later cancelled due to COVID)

The titles were never the biggest reward.

The friendships, lessons, resilience, opportunities, and the woman I became along the way will always mean more than any crown ever could.

To the younger version of me who dreamed of standing on those stages: we did it. πŸ’«

Gone (solo) travelling 😜

One day they’ll look for the version of you that was always there.

The version they took for granted.

And by then, you’ll be gone.

What’s the hardest lesson something taught you without meaning to?

Beautiful villa @villa_hunab_ku 🌴

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? πŸ˜‚

Mini cut from last weekend in Marbella

Dutch version below – Hello everyone, I would like to share my truth, vision, and story with all of you, including the beliefs I stand for.
