Portugal Travel Diary | 4 day Lisbon girls trip

07/11/2019 | Reageer

At the end of October I had been to Lisbon with a friend from my former study International Business (IBS). We were planning to visit a friend of ours who is studying there for a few months. Yanneke and I flew (standby) to Lisbon. This 4 day trip is for me number 4 of 2019 and my 3rd time in Lisbon. As I have said in many posts, Lisbon is my favorite city trip destination in Europe so far. The many colorful streets with sweet little restaurants keep surprising me. The follow up cities are Valencia and Porto for me. In 2015 I went there as a study trip (and during that time, my “cabin crew dreams” started). In 2017 I went there solo. [Lees meer…]

Lisbon is my favorite city trip destination in Europe as I have probably told you before. The colorful streets and all those cute places keep surprising me. I bought this cute dot dress in sale at Loavies. I wanted to bring a nice new dress to Lisbon last minute, so I chose this one. Where I am standing here, is at Pink Street near Cais do Sodre. This colored street is a hotspot in Lisbon, where many people take pictures. [Lees meer…]

A few days ago I was in Lisbon – trip number 4 of 2019. I went to Lisbon with a school friend for 4 days to visit another school friend – this was, by the way, my 3rd time in Lisbon. Lisbon genuinely remains my favorite European city alongside my home town. (By the way, I didn’t notice the mop until I was editing, haha.) I ordered this pink dress at Godly. When I arrived from chilly Netherlands in way warmer Portugal, I replaced my tights and sneakers with my favorite travel shoes. By the way – Yanneke took the pictures of this outfit at one of the cute narrow streets near our Airbnb. [Lees meer…]

Portugal Travel Diary | Solo travel to Lisbon Part 2

06/10/2017 | 3 Reacties

The second day in Lisbon started with a breakfast in my hostel with a lovely view of the city. Today, I would probably get new roommates. For this day, I booked a nice cycling tour with a Dutch guy that lives in Lisbon for years. An hour or two after getting up, I went to the destination by foot. After half an hour of walking many meters of unknown streets and high stairs, I arrived at the place where it would start. Together with two others, the cycling tour could begin. [Lees meer…]

Portugal Travel Diary | Solo travel to Lisbon Part 1

In this post, I am going to share my second (well.. first completely alone) solo travel experience with you. Maybe this gives you that extra push to go on a mini solo trip on your own, or maybe you will just like reading about it. I’d love to share my most lovely pictures and experiences of this beautiful city with you. I hope you will like it! Lisbon is a city that I find absolutely fantastic and love to visit over and over again. The city is near the Tagus (Tejo) River which ends in the sea. It is a city with beautiful buildings, lovely atmosphere and always plenty to do. [Lees meer…]

I have been to Lisbon very short this week. Two years ago, I have been to Lisbon for and during my study as well. Lisbon is a city with a lot of colorful buildings and lovely weather, so I thought this dress would fit well with it. I bought this yellow dress at Pull & Bear back when I was in Barcelona a few months ago. I think the dress is so cute and summerly! [Lees meer…]

One decision changed the entire direction of my life..

What started as one scary solo trip became a completely different life. 🌍✨

Nine years ago, I had every excuse not to go.

“What if I’m lonely?”
“What if something happens?”
“What if I’m not brave enough?”

Now I’ve explored dozens of countries on my own, met incredible people from all over the world, discovered places I never knew existed, and most importantly… I discovered a version of myself I never would have met if I had stayed home.

Solo travel isn’t about proving you’re independent.

It’s about realizing you’re capable of so much more than you ever imagined.

If my journey encourages even one woman to book that flight she’s been dreaming about, then every adventure has been worth it.

Be the reason another woman believes she can do it too. 🤍

✈️ Would you ever travel solo? Tell me where you’d go first.

The best things that ever happened to me started when;

I stopped waiting. 🌍✨

Some of the most beautiful memories of my life began with a table for one.

What’s one place you’ve always wanted to visit on your own? 🤍

Life moves so fast. These photos aren’t for algorithms - they’re little pieces of a life I never want to forget. If they inspire someone along the way, that’s just a bonus. 🤍✨

One day you’ll realize you were never “too much”. You were just in the wrong place, around the wrong people.

What’s one thing you’ve been told you’re “too much” for? 👇
