Weekly diary #7

Posted on August 31, 2017July 6, 2023

Hi, great that you’re back to read this weekly diary again! Here’s weekly diary #7.

Thursday

My intentions to get up at 8 AM and work out have faded a little the past few weeks. And so I got back on track again. I also had to work straight after and so I felt fresh at work. They say you feel better in general when you exercise regularly and I truly believe that. I feel more energized. After work I packed my bags, I’m going to Mysteryland!

Friday

At 6 AM the alarm ran and jee, that’s early. But it was for something exciting, I was going to the Mysteryland Festival in Hoofddorp (in The Netherlands). It’s about 3 hours by public transportation. I had to be there at 10 AM because I am volunteering at the festival this year. I knew what to expect because I also did it last year! Today the plan was to set up my tent, welcome the first camping guests and party at night!

Saturday

Camping at a festival isn’t really my thing this way. I must tell you: never ever buy an inflatable pillow. It seems convenient, but don’t do it, I speak from a place of experience. I woke up fresh, #not. As a volunteer, you get free access to the festival and camping for 3 days. In return you work a 3-hour-shifts on Friday and 6-hour-shifts on Saturday and Sunday. I was on the Green Team, which means that we keep the festival clean. But we are mostly there to bring across a message: please recycle your waste and don’t throw it onto the ground! It suits me just right.

Sunday

A new day, a new shift and so a new party. Lovely! The weather was amazing this past weekend too. By the way, you get styled just before your shifts too, which is amazing. Then you’re really a part of the Green Team! Today my boyfriend and some friends also came over to the festival too. After my shifts I had a great time with them. ‘Vunzige deuntjes’ was my favorite stage! Did you know that Mysteryland is one of the most sustainable festivals? They even won prices.

Monday

Mysteryland is over and I’m going back home. With some help I managed to pack up my tent again (which I borrowed from a friend). That was a real challenge! When I arrived at the train station my train was delayed. On the app it said that I therefore couldn’t make my transit. But, I don’t give up that easily! I felt like Usain Bolt haha, and I did make it! Luckily, because I had to work in Enschede. After work I went out to eat some sushi with friends, I loved it! Sushi is my absolute favorite food.

Tuesday

Another business meeting! Currently, I am working on a business plan, because I want to become an entrepreneur. I had some questions and so this meeting was great. I feel good, I’m almost there! Afterwards I went to Het Rutbeek in Enschede, a lake, where we swam and spend some time in the sun. I love these summer days! Then it was time for work again. After work I had another goodbye event, just like last week. A friend of mine is moving to Groningen. For me that isn’t much fun. The party was fun though. In the middle of the night I picked up my boyfriend from the train station, he is coming over.

Wednesday

A day off! Sleeping longer! Today I could get the day off because I do have to work the rest of the week. I went into the city center to the Broodbode (a sandwich bar). That’s because I had never been there and so we went to try it out. I had a lovely vegan salad and smoothie. At first I was a bit scared because it was a spinach smoothie. A while back I tried a carrot juice at Bagels & Beans and I didn’t like that at all. But this smoothie was amazing! Probably because it was a smoothie with multiple things and not just a juice. I ordered it without a straw and they didn’t give me one, great! Besides the napkin, a zero waste lunch.


Yours sincerely,
Romee

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

Oké, ik weet niet waarom ik dacht dat deze overgangen mooi zouden worden 😂. Ik post het toch maar, want ik vond het te grappig en tja, alle outfits zijn wel echt 100% tweedehands.. De afgelopen jaren heb ik geleerd hoe ik met weinig tot geen olie lekkere gerechten op tafel kan zetten (helemaal plantaardig uiteraard) 🌯. Weten hoe en waarom ik dat doe? Ik schreef er een artikel over die je nu kan vinden via de link in mijn bio. Dit is al het vegan eten wat ik at in Bratislava, Slowakije 🇸🇰. De stad heeft me verbaasd, want er zijn echt veel vegan restaurants. Moet je er 1 kiezen? Ga dan voor Balans Bistro, die is echt het beste. Vandaag maakte in voor het eerst sinds in veganistisch leef (6 jaar) weer eens quiche! Want ik kon nooit echt een simpel receptje vinden voor vegan quiche en dat schrok me af. Tot vandaag, want ik vond een recept van de Albert Heijn, met vegan kookroom en vegan ei van Plant B die ze sinds dit jaar verkopen. Op deze manier is het echt een makkie en quiche is dan ook zeker toegevoegd aan mijn kookportfolio! Ik ga dit vaker maken, en ook verschillende varianten. Het is zó makkelijk, maar wel heel lekker. Vandaag zat er eigenlijk alleen broccoli in, maar ik ben benieuwd naar wat nog meer mogelijk is. Vegan spekjes lijken me er bijvoorbeeld heerlijk in! 🥓 Als je gaat wandelen/hiken, kan je heel makkelijk positieve impact maken! Neem een klein zakje of tasje mee en raap al het afval wat je tegen komt op: easy peasy 🚮. Vandaag verscheen het laatste artikel op mijn blog over onze interrail avonturen. Je leest over hoe we met de trein van Kopenhagen terug naar Amsterdam reisden met de trein 🚃. De foto past er niet echt bij haha, hier ben ik namelijk aan het genieten van een vegan milkshake (met herbruikbaar rietje!) in Warschau, maar ach. Ik ben van mening dat je niet ver hoeft te reizen om mooie dingen te zien. Europa is prachtig! Dit is Boheems Zwitserland in Tsjechië 🇨🇿. Ik schrijf nog altijd over mijn interrail in september. Vandaag staat een verslag op mijn blog over reisdag 5 van de interrail: de treinreis van Warschau naar Kopenhagen. En als ik zo door de foto’s heen scrol mis ik de interrail toch wel een beetje! 🚃 Dit zijn 3 vegan hotspots in Dresden die ik zou aanraden 🌱. Moet je er 1 kiezen? Ga voor Der Dicke Schmidt, jeetje wat was dat goed.
