Weekend Getaway: Sentosa Villa

One thing I absolutely love about Malaysia is that there are so many hidden gems here. By hidden gems, I do mean villas and resorts and retreats where millennials can glamp.

Oh yes. We take glamping very seriously nowadays. 

There are plenty of cute little hideaways you can find in Malaysia. The one I went to over the weekend was Sentosa Villa, Taiping, Perak (which is like a 4-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur).

If you are looking for total tranquility, nature, affordable, peace and serenity, you should definitely check this place out. My friend and I went for the junior suite. There are plenty of other options but we just opted for this one because the whole point was to wind down and relax. And Sentosa Villa was the perfect place to do it.

If you've had a really rough week or rough month and you're just looking for a short escape into nature, I highly recommend this place because I came back feeling refreshed and pumped.

Here's a short video to show you exactly how it looks like:

Weekend Getaway: Time Capsule Retreat Edition

In one of my previous posts, I did mention that I went to a "time capsule retreat" last weekend.

Holy heck! It was amazing!

You're basically in the middle of a forest, in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nature, the sound of crickets, the smell of trees, the breezy environment - oh it was just amazing.


Here are some of my favourite pictures from that weekend getaway.

I think if you're really stressed out, a nice little weekend getaway retreat is exactly what you need. Or a nice time on the beach. I vlogged most of my trip, so if you want to watch it, the video is down below. Let me know your kind of weekend getaway in the comments :) 

How I Get Inspired

Whether you're a full-time blogger or a part-time blogger/writer/content creator, I think I speak on behalf of everyone when I say this.

We all need some time off to get re-inspired. 

As of late, I find myself going away for short weekend getaways quite often to recharge my soul and rekindle my creative thoughts. 

Because I live in a big city, I do not quite have easy access to beaches as the whole city is covered with buildings. However, there are places where I can drive 2-3 hours away from the city to retreats and chalets - places to wind down, basically. 

The past weekend, I went to a "time capsule retreat" (which I will talk to you about soon) to have some time off. I think being somewhere quiet and secluded is exactly what I needed. 

Sometimes, you either need time to yourself to stop thinking completely, or you need time to write down everything that you are thinking about. See, a lot of people have thoughts and ideas that are pure and creative but life gets in the way and they tend to slowly forget about their own creativity. 

Hence why, it is so important to go away for a couple of days and just get re-inspired by your own creative thoughts.

That's exactly what I did/what I do to get inspired these days.
