Hands up Njaa nuary has hit you so hard and sounds like a “vacation” is what you need to recover.
I see you.
With kids coming home for their 1 week half-term and Valentines day just round the corner we all could do with a little break from it all and have some ‘me’ time or ‘us time’ with a loved one.
Soaking your stress away in a pool, the melanin being sun-kissed with a glass of freshly pressed mango juice in hand sounds like paradise to me.
But having already finished your leave days during the Christmas break, fuel prices, accommodation costs and all other expenses adding up, even just thinking of such a trip may be scary.
Does that therefore mean we resign to arm-chair travelling and drooling at other people’s Instagram pages?
Absolutely no.
If you call Nairobi home, you’re right at the heart of amazingness.
Rather than spending all those long hours on the road or flying out of the country, why not consider something more practical and doable like a “staycation” for a night or two?
