Outfit | Valencia

02/10/2019 | 1 Reactie

I have already been back for 3 days from a whole week of traveling. First I went to Valencia for 3 days, where I went last year as well – and I went to Istanbul for 4 days after that to visit my aunts. I bought this dress in the sale of Godly – great for a city trip like this. Travel posts soon! [Lees meer…]

Spain Travel Diary | 4 day Seville trip

28/04/2019 | 1 Reactie

Earlier this month, I went on an ‘if place available’ trip with a friend from work. We went to Seville from Eindhoven. This was also my first trip of this year. After I had worked that day myself, I had changed my outfit, scored my suitcase and left with Tess. After a nice flight with nice crew, we went by taxi to the city center of Seville. Due to the enormously crowded ‘holy week’ (a week of festivities, which we knew little about at the time), [Lees meer…]

Outfit | Sevilla

18/04/2019 | 1 Reactie

Yesterday evening, I came back from a 4 day city trip with a friend from work. We had days off at the same time, so we decided to go on a city trip to Seville together. We chose really good days in terms of weather, because it was certainly around 27 degrees, so that meant: summer dresses! These heels are ideal for city trips and I can walk large distances with them. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone! From my trip to Valencia a while ago, I still had some outfit photos that I had never posted in the end. You may have seen some pictures of this dress in my Valencia travel post. I made a bonus mini outfit post afterwards. I really liked Valencia and only a week later I was already on the plane to Tokyo, where I had picked these photos and still decided to create a mini travel post. To be honest, I found this outfit a lot more better with a pair of strap heels, but if I cycle as much as I did on this short trip, that’s just not wise. Although, they would had been perfect for the beach club we eventually went to. [Lees meer…]

Spain travel diary | 3 day Valencia trip

29/10/2018 | 1 Reactie

I went to Valencia with my best friend during my 3 day weekend. This last minute trip was very recent before the end of my 1st flying season and before I leave for Tokyo and is nummer 5 of this year. I try to travel as much as I can if I am able to. I would like to start this travel diary with how much I like this city and how it certainly stole my heart in such a short time. This city has – in my experience – everything to offer what I am looking for during a trip, so I would like to take you with me into this travel diary of my short weekend Valencia. [Lees meer…]

Spain Travel diary | Solo trip to Palma de Mallorca

30/08/2018 | 1 Reactie

I had 5 days off at work as a flight attendant and once again I wanted to take the opportunity to travel.
One of my friends was working abroad again for a couple of months so I decided to plan a mini trip on my own to visit her at Palma de Mallorca – so technically this is, just like my trip toΒ Lanzarote to that same friend, not a completely solo trip. [Lees meer…]

This is one of my favorite outfit’s from 2017 and I wore this outfit on a sunny balcony in Barcelona half a year ago. I often got asked on Instagram where I got this top. I decided to create a new blogpost for it with some nice holiday photos from May. Some of the photos are from my Barcelona travel post part 2, and I have moved them to here with some extra photos. I still really like this flared top!

Spain Travel Diary | Barcelona trip part 2

28/05/2017 | 2 Reacties

The third day, we still had the complete day to spend. We decided to search for a nice place to have breakfast. After some searching, we came across a place somewhere at a less crowded area. It was a little further away from the more crowded areas in the city. It was very quiet inside, the main reason for that was because we wanted to have breakfast pretty late in the morning.

Spain Travel Diary | Barcelona trip part 1

24/05/2017 | 2 Reacties

Barcelona has been on my wish list for a very long time, so my best friend Paige and I decided to book a short trip before the beauty pageant. Earlier this month, we left. At 6 in the morning, I was in full make-up and we were both ready to leave with a taxi to Eindhoven Airport. [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?

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˜‚
