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!

Living in a winter wonderland

This past weekend we got our first snow of the winter! The woods around my house seriously looked SO pretty and I just had to go for little walk and ofcourse I brought my camera! At one of the fish ponds I passed by the same man that came up to me when I was recently out taking outfit photos. Turns out he is very much into photography and he liked what I was doing, haha. His dog seemed to have a different opinion on that since he was absolutely frightend by the sound of my camera’s shutter. After an hour I was completely frozen and decided to return home and study for my last exam which I had today. It went okay, and now I’m anxiously awaiting my results! I have a pretty bad feeling about one oral exam…
Hope you are having a lovely week thus far!
xo, Nikki
