Maartje is an inspiration. Who would not want to have a life and privilege like her? However, we all have our restrictions. Some of us have student loans to pay, some have family obligations and some simply can’t afford.
Agree! She’s privileged because she can do it, she has financial means, physical strength and strong character to live on permanent vacation.
Live on a Permanent Vacation?! When I was reading the article, I was like, how?! Is that possible?! Well, she managed to do it, so congrats to her! I’m honestly not sure if I will be able to achieve what she accomplished.
Success comes when you aim and work for it! Understand that it won’t happen overnight. Great roundup, Urbanette!
Yet again, another bunch of really great discoveries! Loved the video and loved those women’s attitudes! That’s the spirit 🙂
I always believe that success comes from one’s optimism and self-belief.
Without a doubt, I agree with Lori Greiner, “Your success will have everything to do with how you perceive yourself, because how you perceive yourself is how others will perceive you, too!”
I agree! Success comes from within 🙂
I am happy for Caroline that it turned out right. Her story is an inspiration. Best of luck and wishes for a happy life. More success!
Thanks for sharing the “Midway Meetup” article! Most of the time, my friends and I struggle on what to do (or where to meet) during our “emergency / unplanned” meetups!
Truly a great help…
Excellent internet finds that I hadn’t seen yet, I especially enjoyed the video of real women modeling the Victoria Secrets swimsuits, they had such energy and humour. Real is beautiful!
There’s just so many interesting content I don’t now where to start! The shoot with the Vicyoria’s Secret bikinis was really an eye opener to a lot of girls out there. I also think that going on a vacation for three years is possible, I’ve had some low budget travels on my own as well. And finally, about the first transgender to appear on Playboy, IT’S ABOUT TIME. 😀
Thanks for sharing the video! Those girls look amazing on their own, it shows how damaging it is to compare yourself to others. Also, midwaymeetup is a great way to discover new hang out spots. I’m definitely interested in hearing about any cool ones in the NYC/NJ area if anyone wants to share!
