Meeting new, exciting people from all over the world is one of the tings I like most about traveling. Finding connection points with a different mentality from another country touches and moves me every time
Lucky me! This Maldivian vacation, once again brought amazing new people into my life. One of them is Merel, a charming Dutch woman who has lived on Ibiza for the last 20 years, designing clothes and jewelry. Even if ‘hippy couture’ isn’t exactly my style, you can’t ignore the beauty, talent and uniqueness of her designs. I admired the designs so much, I wanted to purchase it, but Merel disagreed. “It’s old and not for sale”, she explained, but allowed me gladly to pose with them, so I can share with you the talent I discovered on the other side of the world
As always, attempts to step out of my comfort zone and try wearing ‘not my style’ prove that it’s best to be open minded at all times. Any style can fit anyone, the question is, only, where and when. You can take a look at Merel’s creations and purchase items you love through her Instagram page: merelworldfamily
And I’m already planning my next trip to Ibiza…. It’s even more fun to visit, when you know a real ‘local’ let along an amazing one like Merel
Yours
