I've been wanting to share more of the business side of things for a while now, so starting this month: 2 uploads a week.Β 

Sunday = lifestyle like always.Β

Hope to see you there and wishing you a lovely weekend. πŸ¦–

We drove out of Chiang Mai for one night, wanting to spend some time in nature.

We ended up staying at Phupetra, located in Mae Rim.Β It really was amazing, to get out there, without our laptops and just enjoy our time together.

The full vlog is up now. ☺️

In one of my most recent videos I shared that I've been building a business, and that it's growing fast.

Over the last two years I've gotten a lot of questions like:

"How do you afford this lifestyle?”
"What do you do?”
β€œIs Youtube your main income?”

I've been meaning to answer those questions for a while, so behind the scenes I’ve been working on something (big). If you're curious, leave a comment below or send me a message on Instagram. ☺️

Life update πŸͺ·

I recently shared that we would be moving from Bangkok to Northern Thailand. So we are slowly settling down in Chiang Mai.

After a 9 hour car ride together with Bob, we moved into our new home. I'm loving it so far and really happy with the choice that we made.

I wanted to share some pictures of the last week and let you know, that this Thursday, a new video will be going live.

I can't wait to share more about life in Chiang Mai with you! πŸ‘‹πŸΌ

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. 🐾

Taking the time to thank you... πŸ’—

Looking forward to sharing a new video this weekend. If you have anything you would like to see, please feel free to leave a comment! πŸ’Œ

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. ☺️
