“Hé Mirja, can you tell me more about your travel destinations and do you have tips where to go to?”

Travel is my biggest love to be honest. After visiting 71 countries and most of them as a solo female traveler, I can provide you with valuable travel tips and inspirations. I try to surf and have beach time during my trips and like to visit historical and natural sites. Next to the shopping for souvenirs and eat the local food in my travel journey, but most important is to stay in contact with the local people. My blogs contain travel itineraries and inspirations for your travel planning; perfect to use as your travel guide for your next destination!

I’m not a backpacker anymore; I book the nicest B&B’s and boutique accommodations at the perfect location for the best value of money. Next to these travel guide tips you can find travel tips on packing and how to keep save during your travels as well.

Next to my Travel blogs, you can also find here other Lifestyle blogs like: Food, Style, Body, and Mind. All topics on how to deal with the daily life as women over fifty. How to maintain your well-being with a healthy and positive lifestyle? Check my blogs for an inspiring and balanced mindset, for recipes and interior inspirations. I’m not a doctor; all my blogs are my own opinion and based on my own experience. Hope you can relate to my blogs. You can find my lifestyle and travel inspirations on Instagram as well; see you there!?

Nice to
meet you!

What is your next travel destination?

I love Latin America and have traveled to every country in Central America. Bali is the destination I have returned to most often, and living in the Netherlands has allowed me to explore almost every country in Europe. Every destination has its own unique beauty, culture, nature, history, and people. That’s what makes traveling so special. On Let Me Inspire You, you’ll find honest travel stories, practical tips, itineraries, accommodation recommendations, and plenty of photos to inspire your next adventure.
