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.

31 circles around the sun today 🪩 I am probab 31 circles around the sun today 🪩 

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!

Instagram: golden hour and a perfect sunset on the beach in Normandy. Reality: in bed with a concussion for the 3rd day in a row. Sleep, sleep, repeat. Today I finally felt a little human again, so here's to hoping I'll recover enough to go hiking again this weekend.

Hello/Goodbye

Zara dress, H&M flats and all accessoiries by Pieces

My suitcased is packed, I double checked my documents and my cameras battery is loaded. We will be leaving early on Wednesday morning for Tilburg, The Netherlands to catch a train to the Schiphol Airport (Amsterdam). From there we will fly to Madrid where we have to wait 5 hours for our plane to New York. Overall we will arrive the evening of July 4th and eventhough we will be exhausted from the long travel, I hope to see some of the fireworks! We will be spending a few days in New York to then take a train to Washington DC. I am SO excited to be finally making this trip. I never really dreamed of New York (Montana and the southern states were higher on my list) but my friends, co-workers and some readers here have warmed me up for it. Thank you all for the tips on what to see, eat and do!

Right now doing some “very imporant” last minute things like finishing up my shopping list and checking out blogs in hopes to discover more things to do. Making a wishlist was never this easy! Thanks to Go Chic and my Closet Challenge series I know exactly what I “need“. You can read more about the series on Kristins blog or by clicking here.
Although we have internet acces in our hotel, I won’t be blogging for the next two weeks. I need a break from posting and really want to enjoy my time exploring the cities with K. I asked a few of my favorite bloggers to take over The Ginger Diaries while I’m gone. The people I asked provide for a fun mixture of blogs and posts, but the main subject will be travelling.

A more than fitting 90s classic. This used to be my fave song! And I totally did those moves too…
I hope you guys enjoy, Happy 4th of July already and see you all back in two weeks!

    what a dream!!! after that trek to get to NYC you'll probably be setting off fireworks of happiness all on your own :))) enjoy everything – remember to book a neck massage after your 1st day out exploring though…i had such a neck crick my 1st time there. everything is just so BIG, looking up all the time isn't something our necks are used to i guess – baha!

    have a wonderful break, getting off the net for a while is a good thing for sure.
