✨ Starting the year right ✨
After a few months of living in Bangkok and settling into a routine, it feels like the perfect time to switch things up.
I’ve been working behind the scenes on something really fun and in two weeks it’s finally happening: a new trip, new content and lots of fresh inspiration 🌍
Can you guess the destination?

Holiday season is almost here 🎄
I’m planning a little staycation in Bangkok, one night at a hotel, a nice dinner out, and some quality time with Jeppe.
Bangkok is lightning up with the most beautiful Christmas trees and decorations.
Are you traveling during the holidays or staying closer to home? I'm super curious to hear more about your plans! ☺️

Hey you! 🙌🏼
Can I ask you a tiny favor? I’m working on improving my videos and would love your help.
I made a very short questionnaire (2 minutes) to understand what you enjoy and what I can do better.
All answers are private, and you can skip any question.
If you have a moment, it would mean so much to me:

Sunset at Wat Arun 🌅
Just visited Wat Arun again, but this time during sunset and wow!
This is honestly one of the most beautiful moments you can experience in Bangkok.
The colors, the calmness, the way the temple starts glowing as the sky changes… it’s unreal.

Just spent some amazing days in Khao Yai and wow… it felt like stepping into a completely different world when comparing it to Bangkok.
Literally escaping the busy city and trading it in for a some relaxing and nature.
It also helped that we had an amazing stay at Nuyu Glamping. 🏕️
From mountain views to the cutest cafés ever, this trip was exactly what I needed.
And the video is now live!
Let me know what you think, and if Khao Yai is now on your travel list too!

✨ Sneak peek! ✨
A little update...
My next video is coming this Sunday, and it’s a cozy Day in my Life here in Bangkok, café, food, and celebrating a holiday.
And… next week I’m traveling to a new place in Thailand 👀
Someone from the community recommended it and I have to check it out, but I’ll keep the location a surprise for now.
What do you think it is?
Drop your guess below! 🇹🇭✈️
