Can someone please throw some sunlight, palm trees and a bit of mediterranean energy our way? 🫠🇪🇸 Don't judge me, I'm just an expat trying to remind herself of those good old sunny vacay days 💃

At this point I can't even distinguish day from night, #winterinnetherlands facts - it is all grey. I’ll be complaining for the next six months, and I’m so close to losing it 😂

A very late Barcelona recap 🌴

Getting lost in Catalan architecture and Mediterranean culture, my neck hurts from looking up and the buildings keep saying hello..... 🫠

Tried ’s tapas after a 30-minute wait, so worth it, glad we did 🤌🏻

About last Saturday 🌟

Tried at for a little Italian escape close to home and it kinda checked all the boxes.

Tasty food, charming ambiance, good mood... Just what we needed 💖

Funniest afternoon in a while! I still don’t know how I managed to get scared of these cutest things 😅 but they’re sooooo funny and friendly — as long as you’ve got snacks 😂

We went to just to feed and see the alpacas, but turns out lots of families were there for a private alpaca walk (yeap, you literally walk with them for about 1.5 hours!)

For families with kids or for anyone who wants to feed their inner child (like me), it’s the perfect way to spend a cozy fall afternoon 🦙🍂

Zadar throwbacks and days at 🇭🇷

Stayed in this authentic 17th-century heritage hotel built by Jusuf Mašković – once meant to be his grand summer retreat 💭

There’s something almost magical about sleeping inside history. Ottoman stone walls, arches, a Turkish hammam, and modern comfort all at once..

And Zadar… we kinda love your quiet September days and those incredible views over the Dalmatian islands 🌊💫

Happiest birthday love!

No cliches here, but know you've got me by your side every step of the way 🤞🏻❣️

To the yin to my yang 🥂

Can’t count how many times I’ve been here, but the canals and storybook houses still amaze me every time 🤍

Giethoorn is so dreamy and really worth a day trip if you visit the Netherlands! Just avoid weekends if you don’t like big crowds 🥲🚤

#expatdiaries #expatliving #netherlands #giethoorn 🇳🇱 #dreamy
Woke up wishing brunch like this was just a short drive away…

Authorities, can we please get a in the Netherlands ASAP?! This Taurus girl deserves plates this pretty (and this tasty) more often, not just on vacations 🥹🤍

#expatdiaries #uae #dubai #brunchandcake #tauruswoman
There’s just something about sunsets that makes me slow down, breathe, and yes… strike a pose (because why not)

Just a woman soaking up the moment, grateful for every shade of this view 🤍 Sunsets in Dubai 🌅

#expatlife #expatdiaries #uae #dubai #dubaitravel 🇦🇪
My TikTok FYP convinced me to chase a sunset drink at Pier Chic and wow 🌅🥂

The views, the vibes, the magic of Dubai – can’t get over it

Please tell me I’m not the only one turning IG into a little travel diary.. some memories deserve more than just getting lost in the gallery 💭
