Luxury travel doesn’t have to break the bank 💸✨
Here are 3 ways to enjoy 5-star experiences on a budget:
1️⃣ Can’t afford the $600/night price tag? Some hotels offer day passes - you’ll still enjoy the pool, spa, restaurant, and atmosphere for a fraction of the cost.
2️⃣ Contact the hotel directly - they often have lower rates or seasonal discounts you won’t find online.
3️⃣ Travel during shoulder season - fewer crowds, better weather, and way cheaper luxury stays.
Because you also deserve the soft life! 😉💅🏽
Looks like the beach is calling my name again! 😍😍
I think one of the best parts of living in Kenya is the weather! It's always summer somewhere in Kenya!
There's no doubt that seeing Mt. Fuji is a trip highlight for visitors to Japan. But I can't count the number of times I've read about people making the trip down, only to find the mountain hidden in the clouds. 😟
So let me tell you the not-so-hidden secret to *almost* guaranteeing a CLEAR view of Mount Fuji.
1. Timing matters ⏰️
The best times to see Mount Fuji: Winter ❄️, Spring 🌸, Autumn 🍂 AND best time of day? Early morning and late afternoon.
Mount Fuji often shows itself in the summer as well (don't be discouraged) - with a bit of planning and luck, you can also get a great view of this stunning mountain..
2. Ditch the day trip 🏃🏽♀️
If you want to increase your chances of seeing Mount Fuji, consider staying at least one night in the area. This way, you can have clear sunrise and sunset views
That's it really! Not so difficult right? Let me know if you want to a list of some of the best places to view Mount Fuji too!

For my trip to Uganda, I was craving peaceful, nature-filled escapes away from the usual hustle and bustle of city life 🌿✨
My first stop was Entebbe - because that's where the international airport is. I’ll admit, I had originally overlooked it for Kampala, but I quickly discovered that unlike Kampala, Entebbe sits right on the shores of Lake Victoria.
That’s when I started looking for lakeside stays and stumbled upon Entebbe Forest Lodge.
Tucked between lush greenery and the water’s edge, it turned out to be the perfect hideaway near Lake Victoria. Calm, cosy, and beautifully serene. 💚
