I learned to dive when i was in Belgium.
First in a pool and then in a lake.
It felt so cool to breath underwater!
What happend then is:
My instructor told me they had 1 spot left for their dive trip to the Maldives. But for that i had to be advanced. I just went for it immediately and got my advanced open water right after my open water.

I left for the Maldives with 9 dives logged…crazy, i know but it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life!
Here are some of my favorite photos. I’ll be sharing more about that soon! 🩵

Nurse sharks 🦈

Last week i told you about my first shark encounter with the lovely nurse sharks.
Today i want to share some fun facts about them.

💙 Nurse sharks are actually a bit lazy. They don’t have to keep swimming to breath like other species so they will often be found chilling on the sand or underneath rocks/coral reefs

💙 They like to form piles while resting. Yes, literally!
They just lay on top of eachother. Researchers are still not sure why they do that but it could be for protection or maybe just because they like cuddling 🙈

💙 when they feed (mostly at night) they suck in the water with the pray before they bite. So that kinda makes them a vacuum cleaner 😂
You can even hear it sometimes!

💙 Their skin feels like sand paper. That’s because of the tiny little dermal denticles. (Looks a bit like little teeth on their skin) . People even used it for sand paper years ago! Luckily that’s not allowed anymore 🫶🏼
I felt it once by accident because one just swam into me 😂 i guess i was in his way…

💙 They can use their pectoral fins to push themself on the sea floor. It looks like they walk! So funny 🙈

I hope you enjoyed these facts! Let me know which you found the most interesting! 🦈

“Salt water in my veins, wanderlust in my lungs”

I have always loved the ocean but after an incredible dolphin encounter while snorkling in 2020, something changed. It’s like i found where i’m meant to be.

While falling in love with the ocean, i fell in love with sharks too.
I decided that i want to learn about them and become my own shark expert.
And i would love to take you on this journey with me 🦈

Today i want to tell you a bit about my first shark encounter.
It was in 2023.
I went on a group trip to Mexico and Belize. In Belize we had snorkling with nurse sharks in our program. I was so excited!
From the moment i saw them swimming from the boat i started jumping around. I couldn’t get in the water fast enough!

We swam with them and i loved every minute of it! That’s when i decided snorkling wasn’t enough anymore, i wanted to dive and get closer.
A whole new world opened for me 🩵🦈

Next week i will share some fun facts about nurse sharks with you, see you then! 💙

I choose me ❤️

I want to share a little story with you today. It’s actually the story behind my turtle tattoo that you can see on the second photo 🐢

3 years ago I was in an unhealthy relationship.
It lasted for 1,5 years.
I was stuck without realising it.
I was in love but at the same time I was being told where to go and where not, what to wear and what not, what to choose and what not…
I was not able to make decisions for myself.

After many therapy sessions and conversations with family and friends, I came to the realisation that I needed to end this for my own mental health.

I chose me.
I chose me above my feelings for him.
And it was the best decision I could have made.

A few days after the relationship ended, I decided to get a tattoo. I wanted that for a while but he didn’t allow me to do that.

I wanted to proof to myself that choosing me was my best option and that my freedom is more important then any guy could ever tell me.

So my turtle stands for freedom and putting myself first ALWAYS!

And of course it also stands for my love for the ocean which I know will always guide me through life 🌊

Only one week left of 2022 ✨

How are you dealing with it?
Let’s talk about some new year resolutions

A few goals I had for 2022:

Quit my job, go travel, go on a holiday with family, work hard and be more confident in myself, become more positive and do more for myself instead of being there for others all the time.

I didn’t quit my job this year because I wasn’t yet able too. I travelled and I went away with my family which I loved!

I worked hard but I could do more.
I struggled mentally because not everything always worked out how I wanted it too but I overcame that.
I did work on my mindset a lot this year!
I became a lot more positive and I spend more time on myself which I am very proud of.

I stopped saying yes to things I didn’t feel like doing and I started doing more for myself!
This was one of my biggest changes this year!

What am I taking with me for 2023?

I will work even harder and quit my job this year to go travel full time!

I want to learn how to dive this year!

I’ll still spend time on my mindset because even though it got better, it still is extremely important!

I will keep doing the things that I like and say no when I don’t feel like it.

This year I also want to give back to the people I love! People who have always been here to support me. They deserve the world and I want to show them.

Do you have some special new year resolutions for 2023?

Oh and by the way: Merry Christmas! 🎄
