One of my friends is in Sevilla at the moment and I miss it too much ❤️
So a throwback to last year when we visited it after 5 years. The place we met and lived together🥰 The most amazing place in all of Spain!!
The place I expected to be 💍 but the guy missed a chance 😂😂

📍Sevilla, Spain 🇪🇸

I miss my own personal photographer @bonjourandhallo_with_pooh ❤️ I hope we get to do this photoshoot in traditional clothes everytime I am there 🥰

Although people will always question which filter coffee spot in Pondicherry is better, we're Cool Cat over anything. Nai doesn't care about any other place anyway 🤷

Pondicherry is a photographers dream ❤️
If there's one place in India you should go, it's Pondicherry. It's colorful and green💚 The sea is never far and it has a spiritual side ✨️
I am definitely happy that this place is one of my homes 🏡

I had to do this challenge ❤️
Last weekend I had a great photoshoot with @_nrityaatri_ in my beloved Pondicherry 🇮🇳 I can't believe it's been 2 years since I was here and we promised each other to create a life where we can visit India at least once a year. Let's hope it works out ❤️

The disgusting food museum in Malmö (Sweden) is so much fun!! Us, foodies even wanted to try all the disgusting food 😂
We came across the museum by accident, but this made our trip to Malmö fun! If you ever come across another one (there's one in Berlin), make sure to go. Be aware, it smells and you'll get a vomit bag, just in case 🤣
Also, my boyfriend eats super spicy and tried the world's spiciest Cayenne extract, and he was sweating! Him! Of course, he doesn't want to admit this 😂

Lastly, I wrote an article about the museum, make sure to read it if you want to know more about our fun experience 😁

Whoops 🤭
This is mainly because of my Bathmophobia, which means I can't walk down stairs without holding on to something. Quite difficult when walking rocks 😅 In Liechtenstein, we thought of walking up a mountain, but I already gave up after 2 minutes. Whoops haha

Happy birthday to me 🥳 Today I am working, 🤓 but

Happy birthday to me 🥳

Today I am working, 🤓 but family will come over and we will go out for dinner this weekend 🥳 Last weekend, my bf wanted to surprise me with something fun, but it couldn't happen, due to all the snowfall. Luckily, we still did something we both love to do: eat Asian street food at a new restaurant 🥰

On my blog I've always written "a twenty-something-year old", but next year that has to change 😱 I can't wait to see what life has in store for me though ❤️

Who needs to go Lapland, when you have places like this close by 🥰 Winter wonderland in the Netherlands today ❤️
I have a love/hate relationship with snow, I love how romantic it feels, but hate the mud and slippery afterwards... while cycling I have fallen too often 🤭
Do you love or hate snow?

It's time for a recap already?! Well here's mine ❤

It's time for a recap already?! Well here's mine ❤️
I loved this travel year, I got to visit lovely destinations in 3 different continents 🥰 It was also the first full year of @naivesoccer here, so we got to visit awesome places, even close by ❤️

It started with the month of my favorite trip:
🌍 Jan & Feb: Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan with @thify_29 and @shu_ting5
🌍 March: United Kingdom 🇬🇧 with @naivesoccer to visit @manusha.pancha & @cropfart.mp4
🌍 April: My first trip with colleagues ever to Tunisia 🇹🇳
🌍 May: Belgium with @naivesoccer ❤️
🌍 August: Switzerland & Liechtenstein with my love again (yay for exploring Europe with him🥰)
🌍 September: Spain and visiting Sevilla, 5 years after @naivesoccer and I moved away
🌍 November: Denmark & Belgium (again) to meet @mariedouglasss & @kamalinii 🥰

Next to travelling, I started with a photography account: @a_born_photographer🥰 I can't wait to see what's in store for that
Do you already have some plans for 2026? 🙋🏽‍♀️

Reminder that this is what Christmas looks like in Copenhagen 😍
Doesn't it look magical? 🥰
And to be honest, we were in Copenhagen in November 😇but we already loved the Christmas vibes then
What's your favorite place for Christmas markets?

Two weeks ago I visited Copenhagen (Denmark) and it was so much more fun than expected 😍
Copenhagen has such a good vibe, lovely Christmas markets and great food (I kept drinking chai latte). Did you know also that Lego is from Denmark? So, of course, we had to make a miniature of us in Lego 🤣

Next to that, I recently started my photography journey on my new insta @a_born_photographer
I am so excited to gain more experience and hopefully make my job from photography. If you want to be a model, let me know 🙋🏽‍♀️

When has the weather been good and not good at the same time for you?

Do you see me? 😇 The St Beatus Caves are one of the 10 largest caves in Switzerland and it's also situated high above Lake Thun. So the view from the place I was standing was gorgeous. More about that later.
Weather in Switzerland can change fast, so as it was raining a lot, we went to these caves. It was pretty cool to walk through it.

Travelling in the summer in Switzerland doesn't always mean great weather... but I feel the view is still special. What do you think?

This was one epic spot in Switzerland 🇨🇭😍
We were so lucky that the fog cleared for a minute and we could see the gorgeous views 😍
You can reach this place by cable car, the ride here is already amazing. But yeah, it's Switzerland, amazing views are not hard to find 🥰

Nowadays, you can find umbrella streets everywhere

Nowadays, you can find umbrella streets everywhere. Do you still go and find it if you know it's there?

Here are 2 fun facts about umbrellas:
Ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Assyrians, and Chinese used parasols to protect royalty and important people from the sun.
&
The world's largest umbrella ever made was for an art installation in New York City and measured over 18,000 square feet. Coool!!

📍Interlaken, Switzerland 🇨🇭

Lately, I keep hearing that not many people visit Switzerland in the summer. I don't understand why! The winter and its snow might be magical (and I want to return to witness this!), but the greenery in the summer is just as gorgeous 😍

Would you rather visit Switzerland in summer or winter? (Or autumn or spring 😉)

📍Switzerland 🇨🇭

Sevilla ❤️ One month ago I got the chance to visit my second hometown again, after moving 5 years ago... It's still one of my favourite places on earth, and it felt so special to walk around and relive memories.

It's also the place @naivesoccer and I met 7 years ago, so it was quite romantic 🤭

It's so amazing how Spain feels so free, and I completely feel myself when I walk through Sevilla.
We agreed on revisiting more often and maybe... live again here in the future? Let's see 😇

📍Sevilla, Spain 🇪🇸

Is Lauterbrunnen really so fairytale like, like everyone says? Here is my opinion ⬇️

Lauterbrunnen actually has 72(!!) waterfalls! Of course, the one in the reel is the most famous one, but behind that, you can see 2 more 😍 Just seeing this is reason enough to visit Lauterbrunnen.

Climbing up this waterfall is also great to have a beautiful view over the typical Swiss village 🤩

Next to that, you can shop a little, but more than that, you can't do it in the little village. If I were you, choose paragliding 🤩

I am happy I got to visit this village, even when it is just for an hour. I think it's worth it seeing the gorgeous waterfalls ❤️

📍Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland 🇨🇭

Hi! I am Seyamie!

I am a twenty-something-year-old, Dutch travel lover. I used to work in Sevilla and Barcelona and just come back home after spending 4 amazing months in Asia.

My goal is to travel the world and live in more countries! I can´t stop talking about travelling. I always feel restless, which is not the best thing for my loved ones 😉
My love for photography, creativity, writing and travelling made me create aborntraveller.

Follow me on my adventures of travelling and living abroad. And ask yourself the question: are you an a born traveller as well?

xoxo Seyamie
