At the beginning of December last year, my family and I spent a memorable week on holiday at a villa in Diani.

The holiday home, also known as Angara House, is made up of the main villa where the living room, dining area, kitchen, and two main bedrooms are. Adjoining it is a smaller villa housing three bedrooms – one of which was my bedroom for the duration of the stay. There are two double bedrooms downstairs and a third one located in the landing area upstairs. It leads to a veranda where you can sit and enjoy some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of the main house.

A large swimming pool separates the main structure from the pool house, which is made up of a spacious double bedroom and a bathroom/toilet; and on the opposite side of the pool house is the Ngiri Bar & Restaurant, where we played pool and had our lunch every day (Read more abour our private chef and the delicious meals he prepared for us here.) .

Next to Ngiri is a massage room where guests can enjoy a rub-down from a local masseuse. This is charged separately, however.

The villa can house at least fifteen people at capacity.

Angara House is only about a five-minute walk away from the Diani Beach Hospital and a fifteen-minute walk from Diani Beach itself. The beach was deserted when we went there, as most people usually wait until the Christmas season to visit the area. If you’re not big on crowds, this is probably a good time for you to plan your stay here.

Aside from one afternoon at the beach, we spent most of our time at the villa either swimming, playing board games, or reading books (both of which are provided by the host and some of which we brought with us), and just enjoying each other’s company in general. We carried our own portable speakers, which came in handy as we were able to connect them to the sockets at the bar and listen to our favourite songs during the day.
There are two dogs on the property, Fisi and Bendy. They are mainly there to chase the monkeys away. Otherwise, they are harmless and mostly keep to themselves.

All in all, it was a much-needed break for all of us and I can’t recommend both Angara House and a December holiday on the Kenyan Coast enough.
A huge thank you to our host, who made sure we had everything we needed and was always easy to reach via phone. And to the Angara staff members, who made our holiday that much more comfortable and relaxing.

I’ve included a video giving you a tour of the villa, just in case you’re thinking of renting out one on the Kenyan Coast for your next holiday.

Stay Safe & Happy Travels! 😊

As a travel enthusiast, I believe the difference between a successful trip and an unsuccessful one is the preparation before the trip.

That’s why, in this week’s vlog, I decided to put together my top 5 travel tips (plus a bonus tip) that I’ve picked up over the last few years. I not only share the mistakes you should avoid making before and during your travels, but also suggest the things you should make sure you do instead. These are simple, practical tips that you can use to help you prepare for your next trip - either locally or abroad - and make it a lot more enjoyable than it would’ve been without them. They’re designed to save you both time and money and to help you make the most of your time away.

Happy Travelling! 😊

I’d never heard of a capsule hotel until I had to live in one!

It was autumn, 2018. I was working at a startup in Amsterdam at the time, and I desperately needed accommodation. CityHub Hotel in Rotterdam turned out to be the best option. It’s a modern capsule hotel located on a vibrant street called Witte de Withstraat, about 15 minutes from the train station.
Although I was reluctant to stay – let alone live – here at first, I ended up enjoying my stay here and even came to appreciate how convenient a place it was to live in.

Although it’s considered to be a hybrid of a hotel and a hostel due to its shared facilities, I think it leans more towards the “hotel” category, given the privacy in the rooms (hubs), the large bed that can sleep two people, the option of having breakfast brought to you each morning, as well as a laundry service that can have your clothes delivered to you in 24 hours!
Seeing as the summer holidays are here, I thought it was a good time to film a vlog sharing with you my experience living there for two months as well as some reasons why you might want to consider staying there - or at another capsule hotel - yourself. I also included a slideshow of some pictures I took at CityHub Hotel while I was staying there.

P.S. If you still have any questions regarding the hotel after watching the vlog, please leave me a comment below and I’ll get back to you ASAP.
