About The Edit

Welcome to The Aileen Edit, a place where my passion for exploration meets curated storytelling. Originally launched in 2015, this blog began as a creative outlet to share my own personal style, interests, and (of course, most importantly) love for travel. Born and raised all over the world, from Indonesia to the Netherlands, I try to give my eclectic background and life a voice here. And yes, my name is Aileen.

Within the first year of going live, I was incredibly fortunate to collaborate with remarkable brands and inspiring individuals, which propelled this platform from a passion project into a thriving digital space that continues to grow and evolve.

Travel is at the heartbeat of this little slice of the internet. Every trip I share is a glimpse into diverse cultures, stunning landscapes and the experiences that connect us all. Whether I'm weaving through busy city streets or soaking in the peace of hidden retreats, I bring you along with straightforward storytelling and practical insights. From the jungles of Southeast Asia to the historic streets of Europe, each place has its own story, and I'm here to share these discoveries with you.

And now, for the really important stuff: I can't live without coffee, I have a large, adorable dog named Riley (though she resembles a hyena more than a dog) and three cats, my fridge has more hot sauce than a family of 10 should own, I used to dj but now just do it for fun from time to time (what's up, Shadowfax), I equally appreciate quiet evenings at home as much as nights out with friends, and according to an app, I've been to 17.6% of the countries in the world (although I've managed to hit up 30% of Europe).

Thank you for joining me. Whether you’re seeking travel tips, lifestyle insights, or just a dose of adventure, you’re in the right place. Let’s continue to explore the uncharted, celebrate the known, and edit our world one journey at a time.
