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!

Europe, Italy, Travel · 11 July 2013

A day in Florence

I took a little break from the blog the last week to enjoy a weekend away with friends. Unexpectedly, we decided to stay in the Belgian Ardennes a day longer. I came home late on Monday and I still had to shoot and edit new outfit photos. Not something I was into after the three hour drive home. To make up for it, I have an overload of photos from our day trip to Florence to share with you today!
On the third day of our stay, we boarded a morning train to the city to enjoy a day literally doing nothing more than walking around, drinking espressos and eating pizza and ice cream. We both had been to Florence before in our senior years of High School, so all the museums had already been visited and most tourist hot spots already marked off our travel list. We did a little shopping, wandered the smallest alleys, sat on bridges and hung in little bars. It was a fabulous day out in the sun and I have photos to prove it!

 

 

 

 There are more photos to be found after the jumpbreak!

    girl, the photo shares from your epic journey are stunning, one and all!!! i bet this was some kinda life changing trip. i can practically smell the cypress trees from here 🙂 bravo from beginning to end!! ♥
