Hi everyone! I literally posted this blog post from Tokyo! I am currently here for the 3rd time on holiday (solo). I got this beautiful neon dress from my sister. It fits really small, so I wear an L with my size 36. The place where I am here is Roppongi Hills – Tokyo cityview. This viewpoint was still on my list, so I visited this place with a friend who lives in Japan. Entrance to this place, including the open platform, costs 2500 yen. These photos are also from today. I am very happy that Japan’s borders have been open again since a few months, so I decided to go back to Tokyo for 9 days during my 5 weeks of part-time and vacation. At the moment, I still have 3 days to go before I am back in the Netherlands. [Lees meer…]

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…]

This was one of my favorite outfits from Mexico. The photos were taken on Isla Holbox, one of my favorite places in Mexico. In the meantime I’m still working on my Mexico diary! I’ve been back for almost two months now, and I’m going again in two months. Mexico is one of my favorite pieces of beauty in the world. I’m going to shoot alot upcoming time and also have nice projects and trips on the schedule. I hope everything is going well with you too. [Lees meer…]

Colombia travel diary | solo trip to Colombia part 3

| Reageer

This morning – day 8 – I flew back to CTG with Avianca. I wanted to be back early for my KLM friend Ilona. She had requested a layover to go on the road with me. We decided to go to Movich hotel together to see the nice view in Cartagena. The weather was very disappointing today and there was massive flooding on the street. After some pictures at Movich, we went for lunch somewhere in the old center. We couldn’t go anywhere because of the weather! In the end we went for a drink at Townhouse Rooftop – a nice place I’ve been to before. [Lees meer…]

Colombia travel diary | solo trip to Colombia part 1

| 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…]

This outfit is from my first full day in Cartagena. It was so much fun! This day I went to explore Getsemani with people I met in my hostel. This trip was so very nice. It was even better than my expectations! I have met countless wonderful people from all over the world, all with their own beautiful story. I can’t wait to see some of them again one day somewhere in the world. The people you get to know often make the journey. For those who regularly ask – the photos are taken by other solo travelers I get to know and give some instructions about my camera. [Lees meer…]

The moment I post this, I have been back from Colombia for almost a day. I also had a new travel friend take these photos in the beautiful streets of Getsemani – Colombia. During my trip to Mexico, I was inspired by stories from other travelers to take a trip to Colombia. This is now also my 10th solo trip! I can’t wait to take you in many posts about this beautiful destination soon. I went all alone, so no group tour, no organized tour – no! In advance, I only booked the (standby) flights and hostels. Sometimes I even leave a few days open to see at which locations I would like to spend the nights and visit later. I received this nice skort during a previous collaboration with Tess V. In Colombia, many places are very colorful, so I like to show off the colors in my outfits! [Lees meer…]

Mexico travel diary (Extra long) | Solo trip to Mexico part 2

| Reageer

Hello everyone! Great that you are reading my second part of my solo Mexico travel diary. This post is extra long because I didn’t want to split it into two more parts. So I would say, take your time with this! haha. I try to describe my diaries extensively, but some things are left out and I also find it unnecessary to share. Moreover, otherwise the text becomes too long, and I try to describe it broadly. During my travels, I also try to keep a general diary here and there in order to expand this later with the photos. I will continue this second part in Tulum. I would like to take you with me in this sequel! Full of tips and experiences. [Lees meer…]
