Hi everyone! Less than 72 hours ago, I returned from 30 days in Mexico and Guatemala – I’m so grateful that I was able to offer this to myself and experience it. These two beautiful destinations have taught me so much, given me so much, and left me with an immense sense of gratitude. That’s why I’m so excited to share my new (solo) travel diaries soon, plus a travel diary from before this wonderful, very recent trip. [Lees meer…]

Mexico travel diary | Back to Mexico solo – Mexico city & Puerto Escondido

| 1 Reactie

Today, my journey started with luckily getting a seat at the gate on the flight to Mexico City (CDMX). I was really looking forward to visiting this destination and secretly looking forward to it even more than going back to Japan. I have quite a love for Mexico, so I love to go back often. It was with a double feeling, because of my situation in November. I wanted to move between the pain of a circumstance and the love of this place. The best way to get out of something is to go straight through and into it. I decided to take the bull by its horns, because I don’t want to let something win against me if it can cost or affect me something very beautiful. Last November I already did that with all the strength I had in me. And this journey made me realize how strong and courageous I was last fall, and how that same money goes back for now. It’s not the place that hurt me, and I want to protect and appreciate the love for that place with all my power. [Lees meer…]

The beautiful place of this sunset is in Puerto Escondido. I really liked Puerto, but because my hostel was very disappointing, I found my stay less exiting than I had hoped. It is really completely different from Tulum, but I had a great time there with the travelers I got to know. Personally, I think that Puerto has a lot of nice lunch, coffee, cocktail and food shops! As I have repeated many times on my blog, I think solo travel is the most beautiful thing there is. I am eternally grateful for the wonderful people I have met. I found my first lover (ex), some of my best friends and a lot of learning lessons that have brought me further in life.

Mexico travel diary | one month solo in Mexico part 2

| Reageer

This morning on November 22 started with an extensive brunch with Cyni at Ki’bok coffee in La Veleta – next to Tulum jungle gym, where I went with my rented bike from my hostel. I have to tell you that I reach almost everything here in Mexico within the villages by bicycle. We ate divinely delicious chilaquiles at this place – which I definitely want to come back for! After lunch we would go with Cyni’s friends to Vagalume, where they also allowed me to enter without an entrance fee and without a minimum spend. Via google maps I followed my way on my bike alone through quite remote roads and I have to tell you that I found that the only time I didn’t feel safe – and that during the day! In the end I suffered on the beach with Cyni’s dear friends – Vagalume is a cool high-end beach club that is known for the ‘hands’ that many people take pictures with. It was very nice to have a drink and relax here. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone! This is my last outfit post of 2022. I bought this amazing outfit in Medellín – Colombia, with the idea of taking it to Mexico at the end of the year. I have worn it very often, it is a unique outfit and the quality is also really top. The colorful details make me super happy. These photos were recreated at Selina Tulum. Tulum now feels like my second home because of the people I know there and how often and how long I’ve been there. [Lees meer…]
