° Different perspectives.. 👁️ ° It's been so long since I have posted something here... The reasons are many. January and February came with a lot of change. One of it was: ° Giving away half of what I owned 🗄️ ° I said goodbye to almost 1/2 of what I owned. Lots of cloths and shoes needed to go, furniture, hundreds of papers, articles, magazines, lots of stuff I didn't even know I owned. 👖👗👚 (See my minimalism highlight story in my bio) ° Donating and giving these things away made me so happy. I feel lighter, I enjoy my home more and everything looks much more tidy. 📁 ° If you surround yourself with only the things that spark joy, you also feel way happier, more focused and calm. And this is what I need right now. 💛 ° FOCUS AND CALM!🧘 ° I also decided that it is time to try out this digital nomadism thingy that I am talking since years about. This year it will happen! ✈️ ° I will definitely go to Bali 🇮🇩 around April/May for 1-3 months. Working, doing yoga, meditation, some windsurfing, eating good food and being surrounded by nature. This is what I need after this long, dark and cold winter in the Netherlands! 🇳🇱 ° Then I decided to leave my crappy studio in Utrecht. When I am coming back from Bali, I will look for a nice flat in Utrecht that I can make and call my home. I am so tired of moving around the whole time as I did this for the last 10 years. It's time to settle a bit and to bring a bit more structure into my life. 🏡 ° And another big change - I cut my hair and I love it! 💇‍♀️ ° Tell me about you! How did you change in the last 1.5 months? Did you have any new years resolutions and you sticked to it? Did any dreams come true? Let me know! ⭐🌟⭐ ° ° ° ° ° #travelkindly #ethicalliving #sustainabletravel #sustainabletourism #localtravel #travellikealocal #mindfultravel #beherenow #responsibletravel #fairtravel #travelwithpurpose #slowtravel #slowtravelling #theartofslow #theartofslowtravel #theslowlife #slowtravelguides #offthebeatenpath #thetravelwomen #femmetravel #theconciouscommunity #thetravellerwomen #soultraveler #wanderingsoul #powerofnow #presentmoment #zentravels #swissinfluencer #aswissabroad #swisstraveller
new year, new chances! Since 7 days we are already in the new year and damn... It feels great. I am in the middle of decluttering my home with the konmari method and love the process. While going through my stuff, I realized how much I have changed. Lots of cloths I could get rid of easily because I didn't like the style or the colour anymore. Me, donating and giving away of about half of the things I own, shows me, that I don't need a lot of materialistic things to be happy. I prefer having less but high quality items which spark joy (konmari). I prefer having the time and room to expand my knowledge, to fill my life with people I care about and to be able to enjoy the things which are important to me. Change is inevitable, especially to those who are constantly working on their dreams and goals. When you change internally, your external world also changes. A lot. Even though I am not a huge supporter of new years resolutions (I think every day of the year is a great moment to change your life andhabits), I set one for myself: "Say yes more often" Say yes to new opportunities Say yes to welcoming new people into my life Say yes to challenges Say yes to healthy decisions Say yes to travels Say yes to success So, tell me, what is your New Year resolution and why have you chosen it? * * * #visittheusa #welivetotravel #thetraveltag #wanderlustlife #travelbook #globetrotters #thewanderer #weekendwanderer #meinglobetrottermoment #thetravellerwomen #thetravelwomen #girlsabroad #roamingwomen #femmetraveler #girlsthattravel #journeysofgirls #soultraveler #wanderingsoul #soultravel #travelforthesoul #conscioustravel #mindfultravel #slowtravel #theslowlife #presentmoment #beherenow #thetravellerwoman #expandyourhorizons #travelwithmeaning #travelwithpurpose
Since I am back from my US trip I haven't posted a lot, I just didn't feel like it and I was super busy with my life anyways. * A lot has changed. Inside and out! * I made my studio super cozy because dropping temperatures also mean spending more time inside. :) * This gives you time to think. In the last days and weeks I got more clear about what I want in my life, professionally and personally and I feel that I am on the right track. * Winter is the time when everything tends to be slower, quieter and more peaceful. I embrace this time of the year and take as much calm out of it as I can. * What do you feel like in winter? Do you feel a shift of energy or are you immune to the changes of the seasons? * Let me know! :) * * * #welivetotravel #thetraveltag #wanderlustlife #travelbook #globetrotters #thewanderer #weekendwanderer #meinglobetrottermoment #soultraveler #wanderingsoul #soultravel #travelforthesoul #conscioustravel #mindfultravel #slowtravel #theslowlife #presentmoment #beherenow #thetravellerwoman #slowtravelgirls #expandyourhorizons #travelwithmeaning #travelwithpurpose #visittheusa #thetravellerwomen #thetravelwomen #girlsabroad #roamingwomen #femmetraveler #girlsthattravel @preview.app
Sometimes in life you just know, that it's time for a change of directions. * In the last couple of weeks I realized that after 10 years of constantly moving from place to place that I am actually done with this chapter of my life. * For the first time in my life I actually feel that I found a place I call home. I love Utrecht and even though I might not live in a perfect flat nor a perfect country (#badweather ;) ), I feel that I want to stay here. * I don't know what shifted things in my head maybe it was the fact that I turned 28 last week or that I just felt totally exhausted after travelling or that I went back to Switzerland and just felt that I don't belong there anymore. * Whatever it was, I know now that my values in life have shifted. I still love and embrace my freedom that I can travel anywhere I want but now I welcome stability and calm into my life. Hello new chapter, nice to meet you! * How do you feel at the moment? Do you seek freedom or stability? Tell me! * * #soultraveler #wanderingsoul #soultravel #travelforthesoul #conscioustravel #mindfultravel #slowtravel #theslowlife #presentmoment #beherenow #thetravellerwoman #expandyourhorizons #travelwithmeaning #travelwithpurpose #thetravellerwomen #thetravelwomen #girlsabroad #roamingwomen #femmetraveler #girlsthattravel #journeysofgirls #welivetotravel #thetraveltag #wanderlustlife #travelbook #globetrotters #thewanderer #weekendwanderer #meinglobetrottermoment @preview.app
"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." - Ralph Waldo Emerson * I just love this quote... Sometimes you just need to forget your guidebook and follow your nose and heart. Not just while travelling but also in life in general! Take risks, fail, stand up and try again! * * * #soultraveler #wanderingsoul #soultravel #travelforthesoul #conscioustravel #mindfultravel #slowtravel #theslowlife #presentmoment #beherenow #thetravellerwoman #expandyourhorizons #travelwithmeaning #travelwithpurpose #welivetotravel #thetraveltag #wanderlustlife #travelbook #globetrotters #thewanderer #weekendwanderer #travelquote #quoteoftheday #digitalnomad #slowtravelguide #travelkindly
When I saw the Grand Canyon for the first time I just thought: "What a huge hole!!" 🤣 I was so impressed by this world wonder... * What was your first thought when seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time? * * * #visittheusa #grandcanyon #grandcanyonnationalpark #thetraveltag #wanderlustlife #travelbook #globetrotters #thewanderer #weekendwanderer #thetravellerwomen #thetravelwomen #girlsabroad #roamingwomen #femmetraveler #girlsthattravel #journeysofgirls #soultraveler #wanderingsoul #soultravel #travelforthesoul #conscioustravel #mindfultravel #slowtravel #theslowlife #presentmoment #beherenow #thetravellerwoman #expandyourhorizons #travelwithmeaning #travelwithpurpose
A wonderful waterfall in @zionnational ... * On my last post I asked you about how to cope with a jet lag - thanks so much everyone for your tips! I am almost in a normal routine again - except for my daily afternoon nap. But naps are great, so who cares 😂 I just napped through my flight from Amsterdam to Zurich yesterday, so it was perfect! * I am mostly napping and reading when on a plane. What are you doing to kill time on a flight? Let me know! * * * #visittheusa #welivetotravel #thetraveltag #wanderlustlife #travelbook #globetrotters #thewanderer #weekendwanderer #soultraveler #wanderingsoul #soultravel #travelforthesoul #conscioustravel #mindfultravel #slowtravel #theslowlife #presentmoment #beherenow #thetravellerwoman #expandyourhorizons #travelwithmeaning #travelwithpurpose #flyingtips #jetlag #healthytravelling #chasingwaterfalls #zionnationalpark #nationalparks #mountainlove #travellingtheworld @preview.app
You can't imagine how comfortable this tree was... Last week I came back from the states and since then I am having a taff time beating my jet lag. I am awake at night and sleepy during the day. I get hungry at odd times and over the weekend I just stayed at home sleeping and resting. They say for every hour of time difference you need a day to recover - so that means 9 days for me? 🙈 * Do you have any tips how to cope with this jet lag? Happy about any tips! * * * #welivetotravel #thetraveltag #wanderlustlife #travelbook #globetrotters #thewanderer #weekendwanderer #thetravellerwomen #thetravelwomen #girlsabroad #roamingwomen #femmetraveler #girlsthattravel #journeysofgirls #soultraveler #wanderingsoul #soultravel #travelforthesoul #conscioustravel #mindfultravel #slowtravel #theslowlife #presentmoment #responsibletravel #thetravellerwoman #expandyourhorizons #brycecanyon #jetlag #femmetravel #meinglobetrottermoment
Another formation in the Bryce canyon. I really didn't know, that the US offers such a variety of landscapes and nature, you can see so much in a short amount of time and distance. It's incredible! * Are there other countries out there which offer a lot when it comes to nature? Tell me! * * * #welivetotravel #thetraveltag #wanderlustlife #travelbook #globetrotters #thewanderer #weekendwanderer #sustainabletravel #sustainabletourism #responsibletourism #ecotravel #greentravel #ethicaltravel #ecowarrior #soultraveler #wanderingsoul #soultravel #travelforthesoul #conscioustravel #mindfultravel #slowtravel #hoodoo #travelusa #travellikealocal #localtravel #responsibletravel #ethicalliving #expandyourhorizons #travelwithmeaning #travelwithpurpose @preview.app
