The Streek GR Kust had been on my must-hike list for a while and I'm so glad I finally went and did it!

Infamous for its high rise buildings and concrete boardwalks, this trail will show you that there is in fact a very different side to the Belgian coast too. The trail alternates between beach, dunes and woodland, making for a varied view along the way. Don't forget to circle back to the boardwalk sometimes for a much deserved waffle or ice cream! 😉

Ps: the trail is 103km in total. I stopped earlier to meet my friends in Knokke.

I am probably supposed to make this a sentimental post about how messy 29 was and how I had to come back to myself at 30 and figure out how to do life alone. But I'm currently rushing to get to work and I have zero inspiration as to what to say. I just wish that 31 will be (at least a little) less rocky than the past two years, so that I may finally have a chance to feel the world around me. Goodness knows I need it. Also, buying a dryer would be nice. 

Virtual 🥂 and 🍰 for all of you!

How to become me in 20 steps

There was this question in class yesterday, to think about who you really are. If you have any special things, tics or habits. Well I thought It would be a fun post to give you a 20-step programme to become, well… me! It has become more of a ’20 things about me’ post. But I think these things make me to who I am.

Me and our family dog ^^

1. Dye your hair in a ginger colour
2. Get freckles!
3. When you are bored, search your hair for dead ends, I do this aaaaaall the time.
4. Eat a banana when you arrive at school.
4. I listen to my iPod everyday. I feel a little sad when I can’t listen to my music.
5. Wear contacts all year and then wear glasses for a day and make eveyone go like: oooooooooh, since when do you wear glasses?
6. Set your alarm 15 minutes before you actually have to get up, just so you could turn around one more time
7. Ask for Pasoa without the Pasoa, so you just get the fruit juice.
8. Have a travel bug that itches you every summer
9. Only eat sour apples
10. Put cookies in your pudding
11. Flash your buspass like your from the FBI
12. Collect things with birds on them
13. Have a million things in your closet that don’t match with anything
14. Have your drivers theory license for over a year without practicing your drivingskills
15. Be a super clean-up freak!
16. Get extrelmely nervous when you have to answer in class
17. When in love, act the opposite
18. Create things like ‘Brownie-cheesecake with raspberry whipcream topping’
19. Give names to all the regular people on the bus like ‘the guy with his picnikplaidshirt’
20. Start a blog and do silly posts about yourself.

What things make you to who your are?
I’d love to hear about it ^^

    Haha bij sommigen dacht ik echt 'Hey dat doe ik ook !'
    Bij mij zou er zeker en vast bij moeten staan:
    'Freak out way to much about school, irritate everyone with it & then realise it's all going to be fine'
    &
    'Go windowshopping on the internet, find the most amazing things & then realise you don't have a mastercard or visa' 😀
