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…]

Hi all! Welcome to my never uploaded travel diary piece from my Japan trip in 2019. Update, this part was in my drafts for 5 years.. so my memory is not entirely clear in this post, and at times I will be speaking in the past or the present. I have changed the post date so that it stays on the correct timeline for the date I published the others. The prices I mention in the post are very different in 2024, and based on the prices in 2019. [Lees meer…]

Japan travel diary | 2019 Solo trip to Japan part 1

In November, I went to Japan for 14 days. Just like I did in 2018, I went solo. I had booked the direct KLM flights via crew standby travel. After a flight of 10.5 hours in total, I left to the city the same way as last year, with the Narita express – a direct train connection to central Tokyo at Narita Airport station. The price of a return trip is 4000 yen (around 28 euros) – For the standby/crew members among us, you can also use the return ticket for another day, in case your plans change within 14 days.

Hi everyone! Japan was really a wonderful solo trip. I experienced so many great things, got wonderful new memories and met many people. I will place a lot of travel diaries from my last 3 trips soon. Where I stand here is on a high viewpoint in Shibuya. I am really happy with how the pictures have turned out. These photos were taken by Anita, with whom I went to have lunch this day. [Lees meer…]

This is a bonus outfit post from my trip to Japan. Although I said that I would not upload this outfit anymore (exept in the actual posts about the trip), I decided to upload this too cute dress anyways. This cute dress has traveled half the world. I wore it both in Valencia and in Tokyo (even though it was not even 2 weeks later). My travel outfits often consist of the combination sneakers-watch-dress-bag, and I often repeat that as you can see in other posts. This location is actually literally next to my hostel in Shibuya. Still shot this one anyways while I had a jetlag face, haha. [Lees meer…]

Japan travel diary | Solo trip to Tokyo part 4

During my last days in Japan I did not take many pictures. I had done almost everything I wanted to do. The 7th day of my Tokyo trip, my new Swedish and French travel friends suggested to join them to go running around 6 in the morning. I was quite tired, so I refused and went to Tokyo tower later, because I wanted to see it up close. It was nice and sunny, so I walked through Tokyo with a happy and satisfied feeling. [Lees meer…]

If you haven’t checked out day 3 and 4 yet, you can click this link: Part 2. Day 5 I really wanted to see the view of Tokyo. Once I sat down at the coffee bar of my hostel at the beginning of the afternoon, I got to know a new solo traveler named Hana (which I eventually hung out with a lot during this trip, and joined me to Shinjuku.

For those who have not yet read the first travel diary of my solo trip, click on this link: Part 1 – The 2nd morning that I woke up in Tokyo I would meet up with a friend of mine (Arisa), which I, like Anna, know for at least 5 years already. Both today and tomorrow, I would not be alone during this officially solo trip. I decided to wear my sparkle pants which I bought for this trip! We walked from Shibuya to Harajuku because we planned to explore that part this day. Arisa would take me to some cool parts in Tokyo. [Lees meer…]

I really enjoy writing about my travel experiences and sharing photos with you. Perhaps this will inspire you to make that solo (dream) trip anyway. I would like to show you my travel diary to create an image about how I have experienced this solo trip. The very moment that I type this 1st piece, I’m on my way to Tokyo on my first intercontinental flight. After 7 years, the moment is there that I fly to this destination, something that has been a dream for years but now comes true  – 9 days to Tokyo, solo. [Lees meer…]
