Life update 🌷

In my latest video, I already talked about it a bit, but we are moving out of Bangkok.

Not for any bad reason, as we absolutely loved Bangkok, and still do! Luckily, we're staying in Thailand, just a bit more north, in beautiful Chiang Mai.

If you've been following me for a while, you already know we stayed in Chiang Mai before, two months, actually, and had the best time there.

I'm going to tell you everything: why we're leaving, what's next, and of course take you along with the move, since we needed to arrange a lot of things differently than we normally do when moving.

New video live on Friday, where I'll tell you more.

Btw, sharing some throwback pictures from our time in Chiang Mai 🌲

Life update πŸͺ»

It's been a good stretch of quiet, cozy months here in Bangkok. Getting into a rhythm with the business, started my passion project, and just enjoying the parts of life here with Jeppe (and Bob, obviously).

But if you've been around a while, you know I never really stay in one place for too long. Something new is on the horizon again, and I'm equal parts excited and nervous about it.

And by the way, Bob can finally go outside, so much fun, and we finally visited Wat Pho, WOW!

I'll be sharing the full story very soon, for now just know a new chapter is starting, and I can't wait to take you along for it. πŸ’—

Life update πŸͺ·

It feels like way too long ago that I shared something here. But all I can say is that it took a while to adjust to our newest family member Bob, and finding our new routine.

After a month, I can say that we have, mostly, figured it out. What a fun adventure it has been so far! Really enjoying it a lot, and ofcourse just life in general in Bangkok with Jeppe.

So therefore I wanted to share some snapshots with you and just to let you know that I will be back with a new video this week. Looking forward to seeing you again! πŸ’—

Welcome to our newest family member! 🐢🀍

Pretty soon, you will notice someone new in my videos.
After being a lifelong dream, the time has finally come.

I would like to introduce you to Bob :)

He'll be joining us later this week, and honestly, I can't wait to share all the moments with him. 🐾

Catching up with some recent pics! πŸ“Έ

Life in Bangkok lately has been really good. Spending more time at home, building the business with Jeppe, but still keeping the days full and busy.

Also… I tell myself every other week that "starting tomorrow, next week, or next month, I'm going to be more active on Instagram."Β 
Eventually, I post nothing. Classic.Β 

But we're almost at the 6-month mark of 2026 and something about that actually hit different, so this time I mean it.Β 

Would like to follow me along? 🀩 www.instagram.com/daphnevanvelsen/

It's almost July 1st, half of 2026 is basically done. And honestly, that's got me thinking about more than just Instagram. Life, direction, what's been good, what I want to do differently. The usual stuff that creeps in when a milestone hits.

I'll share more of those thoughts in Sunday's video. ☺️

June already... the year is flying and I love it!

I've been thinking about the rest of this year and honestly, there's still room for more adventures and I'm not letting that go to waste. October is set, Netherlands and France, cannot wait for that as it's for some special occasions. ☺️

But for the rest of the year, there are two things I really want to do: explore a big city I haven't been to yet, and find somewhere in nature where I can just breathe for a bit.

I just don't know where yet. And that's where you come in. What would you put on my list? πŸ—ΊοΈ

Quick update! πŸ“

My first back in Bangkok video is officially live, including a full house tour. 🏑

I also spontaneously spent a few days in Vietnam last week, which was an amazing experience. Sharing a few pictures below to give you a little glimpse, and a full video about it is coming as a bonus. πŸ‡»πŸ‡³

Now I'm back in Bangkok. I was wondering what would you love to see from here? Any special requests, feel free to let me know! ☺️

Back in Bangkok! πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­

It's been a bit quiet on here lately, and I wanted to give you a little update on what's been going on!

After a few amazing months in Cyprus, and visiting family in the Netherlands and a trip to France, I'm finally back in one of my all time favorite cities.

Right now we're staying in a hotel, but things are moving fast. The last few days have been all about viewing new condos, furniture shopping, and getting everything ready for our move in just a few days!

So yes, life is a little hectic right now, but the good kind of hectic.
Looking forward to showing you our new home. See you soon! 🏑
