✨ 2024 ✨ a year of ups and downs, but luckily, the highs were the main character. And honestly, I choose to see it that way.

Starting the year with therapy was a game-changer.
It helped me work through things I didn’t even realize I was carrying, leaving me feeling so much lighter. It’s like my mindset shifted—more helpful thoughts, more clarity.

Big milestones with @whenyoufinallygetthere 🥹❤️Collaborating with partners I once dreamed about has been surreal. It’s so heartwarming to see my work appreciated and noticed.

My relationship with Raymond reached a new level this year. Just when I thought I couldn’t love him more, I do. I cherish our deep conversations—even the tough ones—and I love how we choose each other every day. ❤️

And the travels! 🌎🫂
So many incredible trips, but it’s not just the destinations—it’s the people I shared them with.
From reconnecting with my Portuguese family in Marrakech🇲🇦, adventuring with a group in Namibia🇳🇦, exploring Madeira, and making memories in Portugal with family and friends 🇵🇹, to celebrating my dad’s 70th in Tuscany🇮🇹, a surprise work trip to Dubai with my bestie🇦🇪, and closing the year in Guatemala.🇬🇹

So many core memories were made this year, and I’m beyond grateful for all 2024 has taught me so far.🥹🌿

I hope your 2024 has been just as meaningful.

🌺 I’m curious to hear your highs and lows of 2024 so far (if you would like to share ☺️)

Traveling to Paris by train has been my go-to since I was 13, ever since the high-speed line opened!
In just 2.5 hours from Rotterdam, you’re in the heart of Paris.🥐😍🇫🇷

For me, it’s the most convenient way to travel—no traffic, no waiting, just pure relaxation. 🚄💺

The food on @eurostar has always been enjoyable, but they’ve recently leveled up. Since November 4th, Eurostar has been offering a premium culinary experience for those with first-class tickets, with meals prepared by a chef with seasonal, organic, and local ingredients. We had dinner on our return trip, and it was incredible! 😋

Pro tip: you can book Eurostar tickets up to 3 months in advance. Check out their deals for January/February. The prices are really good! ❤️

Eurostar destinations include Paris, London, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Brussels.

Have you traveled with Eurostar? 😃

To me Paris is a destination I can visit over and over again. 🥰

Every year, I struggle with the winter blues.
November and December fly by with all the coziness and excitement, but January and February? Those months can feel endless. 🥺❄️ The holidays are over, and spring feels so far away.

This year, I’m determined to do things differently.
Not only did you share amazing tips, but you also inspired me to:

• Book a trip to a sunny destination
• Visit Christmas markets
• Explore winter destinations
• Binge-watch Harry Potter
• Try light therapy
• Head to the woods
… and more!

So, here’s part one of my journey! 😃

This week, I:
🛫 Booked a flight to Lisbon for March
🚲 Went to work by bike (double scarf mode)🧣
🕯️ Made our house cozy
🏋🏻‍♀️ Hit the gym

I’m really trying and so far it’s going well. But January and February are still tough. Please share your thoughts or what works for you—I know I’m not alone on this one. ❤️

I’m going to make a part 2 about this topic! Share this with someone who will benefit from these tips and save it for rainy days 🥰🧣

This idea is inspired by @gabbymale (thank you ❤️)

Total travel game changer! With @holafly_esim , there’s no need to wait at the airport to get a SIM card — you can set it up directly from your phone and activate it as soon as you land. It’s so easy and convenient! 🤩🥳

I still remember being in America years ago, unable to find a SIM card and relying on wifi for everything — Ubers, Google Maps, you name it. Being connected makes all the difference. 🥹

For my trip to Guatemala in December, I’ll be using Holafly and traveling worry-free. 👌🏼🥰

Ever thought about trying an eSIM? Maybe this is your sign. ☺️
