FANTASTIC VIEWS - Don't you agree?
.
The last of my photos from the staycation on Sentosa thanks to @hotelux.sg - I was definitely happy to have this room and this view, ask for rooms in the upper floors and also for room numbers 1-40 which are on that side of the hotel facing the beach instead of facing the container ships...
.
Want to signup for #HoteLuxSG and get access to exclusive rates, free upgrades, early check in and late check out and free credit for dining like me? Use this code to save a lot 💸💸💸 GYV7WD38

Staycation brought to you by @hotelux.sg the members-only hotel booking app with great prices and perks like room upgrades, free F&B credit, early check in and late check out.

The membership costs S$149 a year but you can use this code to save quite a bit 💸💸💸 GYV7WD38

BURN OUT - Fun times! In the last 12 months, betwe

BURN OUT - Fun times! In the last 12 months, between the collapse of the travel industry, the regular day to day tasks and work that needs to be done and the fact that @mappingmegan and I are trying to put together small group trips for our community of solo female travelers. I have to admit that I'm bordering burnout.
.
Working 247 for months since the pandemic started have taken a toll on my mental and physical health, I have literally been woken up with palpitations in the middle of the night.
.
Thankfully I still sleep like a rock but I was in need of a break, even just two days for a quick and easy getaway to #Sentosa were life saving, so much so that I decided to book the next staycation, destination (or rather hotel) TBD ;)
.
The truth is that I had been looking at staycations for a while but the prices just didn't seem right, and I feared I'd spend handsome money to be in a hotel room and have a 2h slot by the pool, and this didn't make sense to me, but then I was approached by the team at @hotelux.sg to try the app and a staycation on Sentosa mid-week seemed like a great idea, it helped that the weather was so amazing.
.
If you haven't seen this from my previous posts, #HoteLuxSG is a new hotel booking site that is for members only so you get to find rates that are not usually available to the general public. Like a night at the @@rasasentosa with S$130 in credit for S$374.
.
The membership costs S$149 a year but you can use this code to save a lot 💸💸💸 GYV7WD38
.
Highly recommend you check the app up and also take some time off for yourself, even just a day can make a difference!

PUNAKHA VALLEY - Bhutan has to be the most enchant

PUNAKHA VALLEY - Bhutan has to be the most enchanting country in Asia, filled with vast landscapes, endless valleys, crowning mountains and the purest of air. I spent 9 days touring the country solo and there are a couple of places that were just magincal, Punkaha is one of them.
.
While most of the country is high above the clouds, Punakha is on a valley and it gets so warm in the summer months that they are able to grow tropical fruits like papaya or mango. Even in November, when the rest of the country was quite chilly, Punakha was awarm and cozy.
.
Pictured here is the famous 16th century Punakha Fortress or Dzong whose names means The palace of great happiness. You see, besides monasteries and temples, Bhutan is also known for its magnificent fortresses, taken care by monks and incredibly beautiful.
.
This one, by the river, is just magical, and a highlight of my trip. What makes it even more special is the fact that it was built without using a single nail and is largely made of compact earth and wood. Impressive and beautiful.
.
Until 1955 Punakha was the seat of the Government in Bhutan and this Dzong is the second largest and oldest in the country.

FINDING JANE - After a whole year without a single

FINDING JANE - After a whole year without a single trip or even a simple hotel night, we finally took a staycation courtesy of @hotelux.sg, a new members-only luxury hotel app.
.
You can find luxury hotels only across the world with great benefits, offers and perks. For example, I paid S$374 for a one night stay with S$130 in free F&B credit, room upgrade, early check in and late checkout, that is pretty good. The membership costs S$149 a year but you can use this code to save quite a bit 💸💸💸 GYV7WD38
.
I must say I was super skeptical of spending some time at the @rasasentosa and thought it would be the same as being on East Coast Park, but it felt like a real vacation with all the perks and the fact that mid-week the resort was pretty empty so we could enjoy the beach and pool at leisure without restrictions.

COLORFUL LIFE - SIngapore's most colorful house is

COLORFUL LIFE - SIngapore's most colorful house is also one of the most photographed, I bet you have seen it online.
.
Fun fact: Tan Teng Niah used to be the house of a pineapple businessman and it was not painted in the colorful colors it is today, this is recent, but it goes well with Little India's color explosion. So don't miss it and pop by as you are exploring the area.

IN GOOD COMPANY 😂 - Yep, this is Bhutan and it

IN GOOD COMPANY 😂 - Yep, this is Bhutan and it is not an unusual wall painting, many facades across the country are painted this way, there is even an entire temple dedicated to revering this figure that shall not be named.
.
Bhutanese think that this is sacred and they paint it on walls, place wooden carvings of it on the main gates to their houses and even on their roofs.
.
I couldn't help myself from posing on this great house that even had a staircase place exactly where it had to be to continue with the rising lines 🤣

NAMIBRAND - Sunrise hot air balloon ride over the

NAMIBRAND - Sunrise hot air balloon ride over the NamibRand Nature Reserve, where the famous Sossusvlei sand dunes and Deadvlei petrified forest are.
.
The Namib-Naukluft National Park, which includes the Namib Desert and the Naukluft Mountain range, gave name to the country of Namibia and is a UNESCO-listed heritage site since 2013.
.
At 50,000 sq. km., the park is larger than Switzerland (crazy right?) and mostly inaccessible save for the now famous sections including the tall and photogenic sand dune 45 and Deadvlei petrified forest, which I am sure are images you have in your mind when you think of Namibia.
.
Keen to go?
.
I can definitely tell you this was one of the best experiences of my life.
