Spain Travel Diary | Solo trip to Madrid & Valencia friend visit

| Reageer

Hi everyone, welcome to a new mini travel diary! This trip was my first time visiting Madrid and already my fifth time in Valencia. Valencia has been one of my favorite cities for years now, especially because one of my closest friends, Mathilde, lives there – someone I met during an unforgettable trip to Mexico in 2022. And every time I did a transfer through Madrid, my heart told me to visit this place one day -and there was a special reason to this,

Guatemala Travel Diary | Solo trip to Guatemala (Antigua)

| 1 Reactie

Hi everyone 🤍Welcome back to a new travel diary. This time I’m taking you with me to a destination that had been high on my list for a very long time: Guatemala. And honestly? Now that I’ve been there, I don’t understand why it took me so long. Antigua is also a UNESCO World Heritage city, and you really feel that when you’re there. The colorful colonial buildings, cobblestone streets, historic churches, and the surrounding volcanoes give the city a timeless atmosphere, as if the past and present exist side by side. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, look around, and really take it all in. [Lees meer…]

Colombia travel diary | Back to Medellín

| Reageer

Hi everyone, welcome back to a new travel blog! This time, I’m taking you to Colombia in April. It’s been six months since this trip, but I really wanted to share it — it still feels special. It was my second time in Colombia, a country that keeps calling me back. My first solo trip there in 2022 was one of the best I’ve ever had, and I just knew I’d return one day. [Lees meer…]

Hungary travel diary | 3 day solo trip to Budapest

| Reageer

Welcome back to a new travel post! It’s been a while since my last update, but more are coming soon. I’m traveling a bit less this year, which makes the trips I do take feel even more special. Budapest had been high on my list for ages. I’d heard it’s one of the best solo travel destinations – safe, fun, and full of things to explore – and everyone I knew who’d been there had nothing but good things to say. So when I found a one-way ticket from Eindhoven Airport for just €55, I couldn’t resist. [Lees meer…]

Mexico travel diary | 6th (Partial) Solo trip of 3 weeks to Mexico – part 1

| Reageer

Hola everyone! This is already my sixth solo trip to Mexico, and yet this country continues to captivate me in ways that are hard to describe. The first time I came here in 2022, I instantly fell in love. Since then, I’ve returned time and time again, and now I’m embarking on another Mexican adventure. The last time I stayed here for such a long period was in 2022. Back then, I spent over 3.5 weeks, but for a different reason—I was with someone from Mexico. From that moment on, everything changed. My trips after that were solo, but never truly alone, as over the years, I’ve made incredible friends here. And even after six visits, this country still feels magical. [Lees meer…]

Canada travel diary | 8 day solo & family trip in and around Toronto

| 2 Reacties

Hi everyone! It’s time for a new travel diary. A few weeks ago, I travelled to Canada – a country high on my wish list. I wanted to visit the beautiful nature, lakes and hiking areas, but the reason for my visit this time was for something else. I have family living in Canada who come to the Netherlands every 2-3 years, and by now a lot of travel friends in and around Toronto and other places in Canada. Enough reasons to visit the country! I only planned a short visit, so I would spend 4 nights with my family, and 4 in Toronto. I will definitely tell more about this adventure in this travel diary. Canada always attracted me very much, because the people I click with the best when travelling, are often the Canadians. [Lees meer…]

Indonesia travel diary (extra long) | 3 week solo trip to Bali – part 3 (Ubud)

| Reageer

Hi everyone! This part of my travel diary is extra long, because it contains my entire extensive return journey, but also a lot of photos, because Ubud was the place where I planned most activities and wanted to take photos. What really appeals to me about Ubud, is also the fact that in my experience it is more the ‘authentic’ Bali, without beach and sea – but many rice fields, nature and waterfalls. I am excited to tell you about my experiences here! Will you read along? [Lees meer…]

Indonesia travel diary | 3 week solo trip to Bali – part 2 (Uluwatu)

| Reageer

After an incredibly long Grab ride of over 3 hours for just 38 kilometers – yes, Bali traffic is truly no joke – I finally arrived in Uluwatu late in the afternoon. I had booked Karma Backpackers hostel, one of the few options here. It immediately struck me that everything here is a bit more expensive than in Canggu: food, drinks, and even parties. Although it’s still cheaper than in the Netherlands, budgeting is a tiny bit more necessary here. Uluwatu is known for its beautiful beaches, luxury beach clubs, and relaxed atmosphere. [Lees meer…]
