Public holidays should be your best friend if you work full time and love to travel. Eid and Easter fall between the months of March and June.
If you plan out your vacation time properly, you can:
🌸: get 24 vacation days ✈️ by taking only 12 days off! 🤯. Perfect for your Asian odyssey or West African road trip from Nigeria to Cote D'Ivoire 🚌
You can also split this time, taking shorter breaks in addition to the public holidays.
Take 12 days off from March 31 to April 21 to get 24 vacation days (including weekend and public holidays)! 😀
Mar 31 - Apr 01: Likely Eid Al Fitr
Apr 18 - Apr 21: Easter

𝗪𝐡𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐨𝐧𝐠?: I first learned how easy the application process was via @travelletters_
Then I found out that I could save 💸💸💸 if I rerouted my flights to East Asia through HK. Plus, this is a new destination for me anyway, so win-win! 🏆

Did you know Kenya had such stunning beaches? This is Diani Beach, located on the Kenyan Coast 😍😍
Easily doable as a weekend trip, but better to stay longer 🤍
Japan peak travel season is here! 🌸 Everyone on your travel TL is about to be in Japan! 🤭
Just in case you're planning your own trip and it's starting to get a little overwhelming 🥹, here's a quick framework to help!
1. There are lots of castles, temples, shrines, etc. in Japan. Some cities even have all the groups listed above. You can tailor your itinerary to have a mix of popular destinations and lesser known places.
2. There's a lot to see and do in Japan! Just accept that you can not possibly see and do everything in a single short-term trip. Prioritise your list of places and make the best use of your time. ⏰️
3. Missing in the list on the video: a fun train ride (could be a ride on shinkansen, a limited express train with great views and scenery, or a themed carriage).🚆 But don't forget about buses - especially if you're on a budget. They're often times a cheaper alternative, and sometimes, the journey time is practically the same.
4. Visiting the major cities is nice - especially for first-time travellers to the country, but as these places grapple with the effects of overtourism, it'll be great to explore lesser visited places, too.
5. I'll always recommend the overnight trip, rather than a day trip if you're keen on exploring places without the crowd.
Are you heading to Japan soon, or is it on your travel wishlist?
A delicious stop in Diani @nomadbeachbar 🦀
I tried the crab samosas, spaghetti bolognese & stracciatella ice cream, and I rate them a 10/10 👌🏽 I'm quite ready to revisit Diani the crab samosas alone!
The moctails and a fish skewer dish I tried get a 7/10 rating. Overall, it's a great place to dine at when in Diani.
