The past ten years have been a hot mess. Getting two degrees, our first appartment, my first job, moving 40km away from home, our first house, a burnout, a dog, a break-up, a tinder account, a new appartment and a fresh start all while travelling from pillar to post, maintaining a social life, get enough sleep, pay my bills and remember to make dinner before 10PM. Adulting is weird. Still not sure how I get to be unsupervised all the time. Or how I am staying alive. Soooo ready for those dirty thirties, baby. Bring it. 🎂🎁🎈🎉

The Americas, Travel · 30 July 2012

Postcards from Washington DC

What are you looking at? Lincoln memorial – The Capitol (and me!) – colorful newspaper dispensers – White House backyard – Capitol Rotunda – The Air and Space Museum – Eastern Market – Jefferson Memorial – Washington monument – Froyo!! – Short video by yours truely.
In a few hours I’ll be at the airport here in Belgium to pick up K who’s arriving from DC today. I kinda-sorta left him behind in the capitol city with a bunch of his uni friends. Even though it’s been only two weeks without him I’ve missed him like crazy!
DC was a much needed change of pace after rushy, busy and loud New York. Less impressions and less shops, but more friendly people and more monuments. Every morning it was a pleasure to get breakfast down at the hotel lobby. Us speaking Dutch seemed to be an ideal ice breaker and we got to meet a few people! Like the nice man from Detroit who was very much against our Belgium social system. Who would want to pay taxes for someone else’s healthcare? He asked. Clearly, he didn’t, but he knew DC well and recommended a few of the smaller museums and places to go. Then there was the man from the cupcake store I met when I was out in DC all alone since K had a cut on his foot and couldn’t walk all day. That guy had actually been to our tiny country so we had A LOT to talk about.
There were less crowds in DC, but still the city was plenty full of life. And jeez, how many Starbucks shops can you fit into one street!? Also, a three story forever 21 for me, myself and only I. Try that one here in Belgium, haha. Then there’s the politeness. I especially remember the Security guy at Forever 21 who actually bowed when I entered and send me off with a “arriverdeci, have a nice day European lady!”. I don’t know if they do it to get voted “employee of the month” but all store personnel I met in America was SO polite and helpful, hats off for that!
xo, Nikki

    Such great photos! I am in DC & often forget how beautiful it is here. I have tried to count the Starbucks on each street before, but always give up… Too many! The Forever 21 is never near my office. I always find myself there on stressful days! I hope you enjoyed your visit!

    So cool! Glad you had a good time 🙂 The Forever 21 in Ottawa is only two floors (and they're not very big), while the one in Montreal is 4, and they're all huge. Even though I love Forever 21 in Ottawa, if I am in Montreal for any reason I HAVE to stop 😛

    Oooh, these are great photos! It's been a long time since I've been to DC, but it is a lot friendlier than NYC in my opinion. That security guard at Forever 21 sounds like a lot of fun 😉 I'm glad you had a good trip!

    Hope it wasn't too hot when you were there…we barely made it through the city touring because it was over 100 degrees when I was there! I loved teh Washington Monument…if you stand with your back against it and look up at the sky, there is an optical illusion that the monument is falling over 😀 Looks like you got to see some amazing sights…love your pics!

    I'm so glad you had fun in DC! I've never been there, but I've heard it's beautiful. <3 I don't know about DC, but here in Utah, when Jen and I worked customer service; we did everything we could so that our customers would feel welcome here. Here as in where we worked, Utah in general and the US for those who live out of country!

    Great post and lovely pictures! I love New York, but i do love escaping the city with less crowds, and definitely more friendly people 🙂 There is a FIVE story forever21 in New York – although, i have a panic attack everytime i go in there. Sounds like a wonderful time in DC!!

2021... What. A. Year. A break-up in spring. My 2021... What. A. Year. 

A break-up in spring. My life in boxes in summer. Moving into my appartement and returning to my job full time after two years in fall. My first dates in winter. All while living between lockdowns and vaccinations. Four stormy seasons finally coming to an end.

Starting 2022 completely clueless, but with nothing but curiosity and a craving to find out where life will take me in the next 365 days. 

2022, LET'S DO THIS. 🙌

✨HAPPY NEW YEAR ✨
