Hi, I’m Daphne! A Dutch girl who has dreamed of traveling the world since she was young. I love capturing the world around me and sharing it through a cinematic lens, bringing you along for both the adventures and the quiet, everyday moments.
A life filled with new experiences, but also quiet mornings in cafés, books I get lost in, and the simple joy of living life. 🪻

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... 💗
Last week, I've reached a big milestone. As we reached 3.500 subscribers here on Youtube! 🎉
So with that, I wanted to take the time to thank you for your ongoing support! It really means a lot. ☺️
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! 💌

Catching up with some recent pics! 📸
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."
Eventually, I post nothing. Classic.
But we're almost at the 6-month mark of 2026 and something about that actually hit different, so this time I mean it.
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? 🗺️

Quick update! 📍
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. 🇻🇳
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! 🇹🇭
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! 🏡

It's been a while!
But I'm back in Cyprus, settled and well! Enjoying the beach, good food but also my new office in ofcourse the new apartment. (Yes, coming a tour very very soon...☺️)
As you might have known, I visited one of my all time favorite places recently:
Paris! 🇫🇷
And while I'm editing all of my footage and fun moments of the trip, I thought I would already go ahead and share some photo's. 📸

Wow! Since leaving Bangkok, life has been pretty crazy, hectic but so much fun!
As you might have known, I have been back in The Netherlands for a short two week trip. It really was amazing, and if you want to see more of that, I have actually posted two videos about it where I bring you along. ☺️
But the adventure doesn’t stop there. I’m currently in Cyprus, which is actually my new home for now, and getting ready for the next little adventure.
In a few days I’ll be heading back to The Netherlands again, but this time for a road trip to Paris with some fun stops along the way. 🚗 And ofcourse I’ll be filming everything so you can come along in the next video!
Funny enough… my best friend and I actually visited Paris together 3 years ago in 2023. So it feels a bit like a full circle moment going back again. 📸
Now I’m curious
What’s one place in Paris you think we absolutely have to visit?
And… can you guess one of the stops we’ll make on the way? 🇫🇷

Leaving Thailand (for now...)
By the time you’re reading this, I won’t be in Bangkok anymore.
And after deciding to stay here for a longer period of time and settling, leaving Bangkok feels almost strange.
The familiar streets of Bangkok, slow mornings, warm evenings, and the feeling of being exactly where you need to be for a while.
I’m incredibly grateful for this chapter, for the routines I built, the places I returned to, and the sense of home that somehow formed again. And while I’m moving on for now, it doesn’t feel like a goodbye.
For now, it’s time to close this chapter with gratitude and luckily, I have a DTV visa… so see you soon! I’ll be back in April, returning to both Bangkok and Chiang Mai for another adventure, and I already know it’s going to be a special one!
And with that being said... get ready for a new adventure with first two weeks in the Netherlands, a visit to Cyprus but also a French roadtrip! Woohoo 🛫🚗
