3 days, 95km, the entire Belgian coastline 💥 T 3 days, 95km, the entire Belgian coastline 💥

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!

Gift wrapping practical

wearing: Zara jeans, H&M tee and cardigan, Jonak Boots, Sfera Necklace, Vintage clutch
Happy Monday everyone! Noticed my little disappearance of the internets? I had to work all weekend and met up with friends every night. I think the holiday spirit is coming alive and I love it! Saturday at work the gift wrapping lady was sick and so they asked me to take over her job. I am by far a gift wrapping champion and I sincerely hope the nice lady that bought the Jack Wolfskin fleece wrapped it up again at home. I felt a little ashamed to hand her over my paper creature. Today I went Christmas shopping with my dearest friend J and we had such a great time. I bought a present for the boyfriend and I wrapped it up with a golden glitter bow. Probably the prettiest wrapping I did all weekend! 
Much Love,
Nikki
