Remember I told you my boyfriend and I were on a luxurious work trip TOGETHER? So 4 days of flying together? That's pretty amazing! Our last day of the trip was in Lyon, France. It's a place where we both have been many times before, and also two times together as well.
And we both do love Lyon! So many good places to eat and to see! We both enjoy cycling, and since the hotel offers the bikes for free (renting ofcourse) we always go by bike to the city center. I just love cycling and following the river all the way up to the main square (place bellecour).
We spend our day eating, cycling and sightseeing. The sunset was again pretty amazing and I took a lot of pictures during that time of the day. Have you been to Lyon before? And do you like it?
Two weeks ago I flew to Sandefjord Torp, a beautiful city in Norway. It was a sunny afternoon and I wandered around in the city and harbor. I walked up a hill and discovered a beautiful lake and an amazing view point too. It was a quiet afternoon and the perfect weather to enjoy the sunset.
Being in Norway quite a lot thanks to my job as a flight attendant makes me appreciate the nature and wilderness even more than I did before. It's my medicine to become relaxed and zen after a busy day at work. Just looking at something so beautiful or walking around and breathing in the fresh forest air. And Norway is super close to perfection. Too bad the days are short during this time of the year. I took a lot of pictures, which I hope you enjoy! :)
“ It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement;
the greatest source of visual beauty;
the greatest source of intellectual interest.
It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living. ”
Sir David Attenborough

never have to work a day in your life."
While I love my job more than almost anything else, spending time with the ones I love is the thing I love and enjoy the most. Because it's so much more important than my job as a flight attendant. But what is more perfect when these two things are combined?
Just a week before christmas my boyfriend -who's a pilot (first officer)- and I flew together. The cockpit door was the only thing that separated us, and our little 4 day trip was pretty perfect! We requested an early trip to Prague, Bologna and Lyon and by suprise we both got this trip!
It's very difficult for us to fly together. We do work for the same airline, but whereas he's only flying the embraer, I fly another aircraft (fokker70) as well. And therefor my roster has more options and more variety than his. So we had to look closely and finally found the perfect 'pairing' we could fly together.
I do love my job, I can't imagine a life without flying, but I do miss my time at home every now and then. I love spending time with my mom, my boyfriend and my friends. But sometimes it's very hard to have days off in the weekend or to have a day off at someones birthday. I'm away for 4 nights a week most of the time, making it very difficult to maintain a blog as well. But I manage, I do what I can and I do it with love.
During a cold winterafternoon, just a couple of days before christmas, the boyfriend and I started a little trip together. He's a pilot, a first officer to be precise and as most of you know I'm a cabin attendant. It's not very common that we fly together. We do request it a lot, but it never seems to work, until now.
He's not only my love but also my colleague, and it makes it even more fun to fly together! During our first day at work we flew to Prague, where we arrived around 2PM. It was a bit grey but that couldn't stop us from exploring this beautiful city!
We got a taxi up to the castle and walked all the way down, via the bridge to the main square. We enjoyed a hot wine at the local christmas market and had diner with the other crewmembers at italian restaurant 'pasta fresca' which was delicious! Prague is so beautifully decorated around christmas. The lights everywhere, the amazing christmastree on the square: it is just all so perfect! Prague is the best destination for a short weekend trip! Have you been to Prague before?
Since I was so pleased with my new silver skirt from isabel marant (pour h&m) I thought it deserved an entire blogpost. It was hanging in my closet for over a month and I really couldn't wait wearing it on christmas day. Though it was a bit hard to make an outfit. Obviously with the dutch weather involved, a 'lace' top was just too cold. So I added a nice teddy jacket.
Were you able to get some items from Isabel Marant? And for those who have the same skirt: how did you combined it? I thought it was actually very hard, but I'm pleased with the result. I hope you enjoy my pictures :)
