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!

It’s Official!

 I’m am over the top happy about this.
After calling the airline services 10x, booking hotels, planes and trains, getting an international passport, doing a test, checking my bankaccount over and over again and finding a summerjob. I can now officially tell you that I booked a holiday for the end of this summer! aaaaah, teenage life can be so good!

On the program are:New York City and Washington DC!
The 9 hours long flight might will cause me a serious jet lag, haha.
I have read through some tourist guides already and I have made a little list of things I can’t miss out on! Maybe some of you still have ideas on what I must see/do/hear/eat/shop? All tips are welcome!
I depart in Paris, August 28th and I’ll be back on September 8th.I am on the hunt for some guest bloggers to keep things movin’ around here while I’m gone ^^

EDIT: Due to Irene and safety reasons our flights got cancelled. Oh well, better luck next year!

    You should check out the Metropolitan Museum of Art if it isn't already on your list of things to do/see. It's my favourite place to go whenever I visit NYC. 🙂

    I hope you have lots of fun on your trip!

    So cool! Be sure to check out Georgetown when you're in D.C! I almost didn't see it but then I had a day of exploring by myself and decided to walk across the bridge. It has the COOLEST old historic houses and a beautiful college. I absolutely fell in love. Hope you have a gorgeous time! I love both those cities quite a bit. 🙂

    That sounds super exciting. I have never been to that half of the country, so I can't offer you any advice about where to go, but I look forward to seeing your photos!

    It's killing me that I totally have the money to travel but can't take the time away from work to go places. I'll live vicariously through you, I suppose.

    I just went to New York City for the first time ever, and it was beyond amazing! Make sure you go to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the atmosphere there is wonderful! Go to Beacon's Closet (88 N 11th Street) vintage and second hand clothing and for vegetarian and vegan food, go to Bliss Café (191 Bedford Ave). Both places are in Williamsburg.
    And this one may be obvious, but go to Grand Central Station, it is so gorgeous. And if it is still open, the Alexander McQueen exhibition at the Met, it was STUNNING.

    No problem, glad I could help, even though my NYC experience is truly minimal. Double-check where that Amtrak train leaves, though, because when I went to Buffalo with Amtrak, it was from Penn Station.
