How i got to Buenos Aires, but landed in Uruguay..

And this is already the end of my very first day here in Buenos Aires. It has been the longest day ever, and the most exciting at the same time! I knew that i had to sit in an airplane for 14 hours, but i actually realised it when I was on there. I watched some movies but I couldnt really sleep much during the flight, approximately 3 hours in total. It was not the best experience.. also because i got sick the last two hours:/ But i was still alive cause the plane didnt crash so that was good :p 

When there were just 50 minutes of flying left, the pilot announced that we couldnt go to Buenos Aires at the moment because of too much fog, so we went to Montevideo in Uruguay. And now comes the best part: we had to wait for 2,5 hours inside the airplane till we could fly to buenos aires, and couldnt even get out.... But i was still happy, because I just landed in South America for the first time of my life !! 

So after 2,5 hours we flew to Buenos Aires, and after a short flight i had finally arriveddd! Natalia and Luciana picked me up at the airport, who i had not seen in a year! I met them in London, where I studied last summer. It was great to see them again !

The rest of the day we walked around some parts of Buenos Aires. And i had Merienda for the first time. Merienda is the meal between lunch and dinner.

I didnt take many interesting pictures or videos, but i wanted to share a few. Firstly of course an airplane pic, and i also like the Argentinian schoolbus; escolares. And something really weird: while we were waiting for the bus there obviously came several busses but also horses with carriages. 

I'm looking forward to these 6 weeks! and to seeing the football matches with an argentinian commentator:p Hopefully Argentina and the Netherlands will both win saturday so they'll have to play against eachother! must be fun

The next adventure // BUENOS AIRES

It has been a long time since I've written something about traveling. But that will change from now on! Because my next trip is getting closer and closer. Only 8 days left till I am going to Buenos Aires in Argentina :D I will be there for 6 weeks, discovering the south american lifestyle and learning how to speak spanish. 

I'll be writing about everything in Buenos Aires and my experiences on this blog!

my very first performance

There is a show every year at my school. I never had the confidence to audition for it. But this year my friend Christa and I wanted to perform on that show! So we made a medley of Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars songs :) We passed the audition and they asked if we wanted to do another song as well. So we did Confetti by Tori Kelly! You can copy this link to watch that song if you'd like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4wuI1q1qsU

I hope you like them!

Wanderlust

 Wanderlust: A strong desire or impulse to wander, travel and explore the world

Just this simple, 10-letter word, describes how I feel most of the time. I don't know where it comes from or why I have it, but what I do know is that it is amazing! 

I made a little list of things about the wanderlust I have:

1. Tv shows about travelling are the best ones. You can just sit down in your comfiest chair, throw on some cosy pyjama pants and watch the world.. Many other cultures, the highest mountains, the bluest oceans are all shown on that little tv-screen. .... But than that feeling called wanderlust comes into my mind, and i just want to grab my passport and go to the nearest airport to fly to the destination where the people on my tv-screen are right now. 
2. A map, globe, atlas.. I can spend hours and hours just looking at those things. Looking at all the countries and cities, and thinking of all the trips I can make in the future. A great way to spend your time!
3. The experiences you have in other countries are always fantastic. You actually want to talk about those experiences all the time.. In fact, I talk about them maybe a little too often haha. Friends and family can get pretty annoyed with me. 
4. Seeing other places, other houses and other people makes me appreaciate the things I have so much more. Travelling can give you a whole new view on the simpelst things in life. 
5. Once I got my first globe, I only wanted to get more things with a map on it. Posters, pens, phone covers, watches etc. Those things remind me of the travels I've made and the ones I'll make in the future. 

If you relate to any of those things, tell me in the comments. Or maybe you have experienced something else with your Wanderlust..? ;)

I just changed the name of my blog into www.myworldofwanderlust.blogspot.com because I want to write about travelling more often! I am planning on travelling a lot and to write about it on this blog. 

Have a nice day everybody! X Nathalie. 

Cover!

Hey guys! 

I thought it would be good to do a cover in Dutch, since I am from the Netherlands. Here we have a tv-show called: de beste singer-songwriter van nederland. It's a talent show with the aim to find the best singer-songwriter of our country. This is their youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/varadbssw , where you will find many beautiful songs. Maaike sang this amazing, self-written song at her first audition. It's about missing someone. How she describes that feeling is just incredible! 

I hope the people who don't understand Dutch will also like the song :)

Enjoy!

New cover!

Hello! I just uploaded a new cover :) Its's a Tori Kelly song, again haha. I just love all her songs 

and i realy hope to go to one of her concerts one day. 

I hope you like my cover! 

Have a nice day!

Reunited with my London friends

hey lovely readers!

As you know i went to London last summer, and I met some amazing people there. Saying goodbye after 3 weeks was one of the most saddest moments ever, because I knew that I wouldn't be able to see many of them very soon. But I was sure that someday I would meet them again. And I was right, coz it happened !!

About two weeks ago, I was reunited with three of my friends! Tomás from Portugal, Quentin from France and Amélie from Switserland.We spent one whole week together, including new years eve :) We stayed in the lovely mountains of Switserland, at Amélies house. It was an amazing week.

This is a picture Tomás took of Amélie and I and the beautiful mountains
