Weekly diary #3

Weekly diary #3

Posted on July 20, 2017July 6, 2023

I am back with weekly diary #3!

Thursday

Today I went into the city center of Enschede and I bought something new, shit. This summer I am going to Sziget and I’m so excited for that! Since I bought tickets in the first 24 hours I got a number of goodies from the festival. A t-shirt, socks, a button and the Sziget logo, which I can iron onto a piece of clothing. Not very minimalistic, but I didn’t know about it. Today I went looking for a plain white t-shirt to iron that logo onto. I have been looking for a 100% cotton, fair trade, organic white t-shirt but I just haven’t found the right model. Because Sziget is getting closer I gave up that search and bought a t-shirt at H&M (fast fashion). Better luck next time!

Friday

I went to the gym for the first time since my holiday and it felt quite good! I love going in the morning, a nice and fresh start of the day. Also, a package arrived for me today. Last week I told you I was looking for a secondhand bathing suit and I found one on Vinted! It didn’t fit the previous owner, so it basically was all new. It does fit me and I’ve fallen in love with it already.

Weekly Diary #3

Saturday

I went to Harderwijk for a ‘couples-weekend’, organized by my in-laws. My boyfriend has two more brothers and so we were with 8 persons all-together. Today we went sailing. We rented a small boat and went onto the Veluwemeer (a Dutch nature area). The boat wasn’t electrical and that got me thinking for whenever I’m going to lend a boat myself. I want it electrical. At night I ate a cheese fondue (since I’m a vegetarian) and the other ate mussels. At night my boyfriend and I also went out with some friends and we got home at 5 AM! It says a lot: it was a great night.

Sunday

Little sleep, because today was the second day of our couples-weekend. We were going to go clay-pigeon shooting. I was quite excited because I had never done anything like it. After we got some explanations I was the first one in line. I was so nervous! There I was with a gigantic gun. I did better than I expected! We also did crossbow shooting, but somehow I found that way more difficult. This activity wasn’t very zero waste because you shoot things to pieces, but I do think it’s a good solution for people who would normally go hunting (which is cruel if you’d ask me). At night we went barbecuing at friends.

Monday

Last week you’ve read that I took my bed apart to sell it. Today came in the ‘new’ secondhand bed! My in-laws wanted to give it to a thrift shop, but now I got it. Today we drove from my boyfriend’s house to mine and put together the bed. I unfortunately had to work, so my boyfriend did it for me (he’s the sweetest). I am happy with the result! After work we went back together to my boyfriend’s house again.

Tuesday

We started the day with a drink at the beach in Harderwijk. I ordered water and at this place I luckily got tap water. Bottled water is such a waste! At home we had a lovely lunch and went over to friends who have a pool in the garden. Amazing with this weather! Then friends came over to our place and we had a game-night. The summer holiday is amazing.

Wednesday

Today I went back to Enschede. Once at home I went straight to the gym. I attended a virtual boxing class and I really enjoyed that class! I can put all my energy into boxing. Afterwards I was completely exhausted and I like that feeling. It is a funny feeling though, doing group classes all by yourself. Sometimes I talk back to the screen to make it more fun (I hope there are no cameras, because then people think I’m crazy)! At night I went to a musical performance of my brother at his school. I remember doing mine years ago, time flies!

Yours sincerely,
Romee

ABOUT ME

 

when a teen goes green

Hi! My name is Romee Hoeksma and I am on a journey to an eco-positive life. An eco-positive lifestyle is a lifestyle in which I have a more positive than negative impact on the beautiful planet earth. On this blog you can follow my journey to a life with only positive impact. At this blog you can find all sorts of things, from tips to recipes to personal experiences, but most of all fun (I hope!). I write about how I want to change the world, but don’t look at it as if I’m judging you. If anything, I like responses from my dear readers the most, so don’t hesitate to contact me or respond to any of my posts!

Yours sincerely,
Romee

Dit is de route van de interrail die ik maakte de afgelopen maand! Over die interrail staat vandaag het eerste artikel (in een reeks van meerdere) online op mijn blog. Ik deel daarin namelijk mijn ervaring én wat tips en tricks. Je kan het nu vinden via de link in mijn bio 🚞.#duurzaamleven #duurzaamreizen #interrail Dit is hoe ik met de trein van Krásná Lípa (🇨🇿) naar Bratislava (🇸🇰) reisde. Dit was reisdag 3/6 van onze duurzame interrail reis. Ik ben vandaag 25 jaar geworden 🥳. Ik hoop heel hard dat dat betekent dat ik ongeveer op een kwart van mijn leven ben. En wat een verjaardag is dit! Ik mag het vieren in Kopenhagen met mijn favoriete persoon @casperchristiaanse , terwijl ik met de trein door Europa reis 🚃. Ik ben een gelukkig mens. Op naar de 50! Dit is hoe ik van Dresden (🇩🇪) naar Krásná Lípa (🇨🇿) reisde. Niet een bijster lange, maar wel een prachtige treinreis, omdat je door het nationaal park Boheems Zwitserland gaat. Dit was de tweede reisdag van onze interrail (2/6). We zijn op de helft van de interrail. Terwijl ik dit typ zijn we onderweg naar Warschau (8,5 uur vanaf Bratislava). Nog twee bestemmingen te ontdekken, maar wat hebben we nu al veel genoten. Elke dag goed en lang slapen, nieuw vegan eten proberen, bijzonder lang wandelen, spelletjes spelen, weinig schermtijd, genieten van de mooie uitzichten en zon: deze reis is genieten 💜. Dit is hoe ik met de trein van Amsterdam naar Dresden reisde 🚃. De interrail is officieel begonnen! (1/6) Vandaag verschijnt er geen artikel op mijn blog. En de komende twee weken hierna ook niet. Dat is voor het eerst, in de 7 jaar dat ik schrijf. Een heel leuk onderdeel van duurzaam leven is tweedehands kleding. Hier zijn 4 tweedehands outfits die ik droeg in augustus 2023 🌞. Je zag het al in de reel van vorige week: ik ben op vakantie geweest naar Gent, in België. Het was een ontzettende aanrader, en daarom verscheen er vandaag een artikel op mijn blog over de leukste en duurzaamste hotspots in Gent 🌆. Check it out via de link in mijn bio
