We offer beautiful accommodation spaces, inspired by nature. We call ours 'Exciting Spaces'.

[Dr. Arthur Brooks @arthurbrooks]

Research suggests there are six primary travel motives:

-Exploration
-Escape
-Deepening relationships
-Prestige
-Nature
-History and heritage

One of the most useful questions you can ask before planning your next vacation is: Why am I taking this trip in the first place?

Most of us have more than one, but understanding which ones matter most to you can change how you plan your time away. For example, if what you really need is a deeper connection, a packed sightseeing itinerary may leave you exhausted. Or if you're craving exploration, sitting by the pool for a week may not be as restorative as you imagined.

The goal isn't to have the perfect vacation. It's to have the right vacation for you.

Underrated life advice: Become easier to impress. Be amazed by a beautiful sunrise. A great conversation. A good cup of coffee. A long walk. A laugh with friends. The people who find joy in small things end up finding joy in a lot more things.

The Importance of Traveling

Traveling quietly reshapes how you see the world and yourself. When you step outside familiar routines, you gain perspective that books and conversations alone cannot offer. Different places expose you to new ways of thinking, living, and solving problems, and that contrast sharpens judgment.

Travel teaches humility. You realize your normal is not universal, and your assumptions are not facts. Seeing how others live with fewer resources or different priorities can recalibrate gratitude and ambition at the same time.

It also builds clarity. Distance from daily noise makes it easier to reflect on decisions, relationships, and direction. Many people find that their best ideas arrive when they are away from home, walking unfamiliar streets or sitting quietly in a new environment.

Travel strengthens adaptability. Delays, language barriers, and cultural differences train patience and problem-solving. These skills transfer directly into work and life, making you calmer and more resilient.

Most importantly, traveling reminds you that life is bigger than your current circumstances. It expands possibility, renews curiosity, and adds depth to experience. Even short, intentional trips can reset perspective and restore balance.

The first gift is life. The second gift is good health.

The third gift is to love and be loved. The fourth gift is peace of mind.

There are no other gifts that matter as much.

The fifth gift is having the wisdom to know what to appreciate most.

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Alternating periods of activity and rest is necessary to survive, let alone thrive. Capacity, interest, and mental endurance all wax and wane. Plan accordingly.

[Icona @iconawrites]

The secret to life is to stay curious. Learn a new skill, get into Russian literature, start gardening, cultivate a niche interest. We live in a beautiful and fascinating world; do not let routine and problems and to-do lists destroy your sense of wonder.

In Kenya, you can request an Uber Safari.

One of these vans will show up and take you on a 3-hour game drive at the Nairobi National Park for about $190 (Ksh 25,000)

"A busy calendar and a busy mind would destroy your ability to do great things in this world.

If you want to do great things, you need free time and you need a free mind."

@PublicEditorNMG @PamSittoni Loved your opinion on BD today. Amen. Amen.

You've put into words our very thoughts. Stopped buying it long time when we realized they offered no insights and were reporting stuff we could easily find online.

Kudos. I hope they'll smell the coffee.

Peter Thiel on advice to his younger self: “Before getting swept up in the competitions that define so much of life, ask yourself whether you even want the prize on offer.”

The most destructive, oddly worshipped, yet ignored problem in the world:

Chronic Stress.

It silently hijacks your brain, burns out your body & mind, and tears down your immune system.

Here’s Dr. Jordan Peterson’s 7-step protocol to unlock your mind: 🧵

[Alex & Books 📚 @AlexAndBooks_]

Reading books is more important now than ever before:

-Builds your attention span
-Reduces feelings of loneliness
-Filled with quality and verified information
-Helps you disconnect from technology and screens
-Teaches you empathy and how to understand others

Delayed gratification is great when it comes to making money, but there are so many things you can only truly experience when you're still young, don't become an old wealthy person who has never truly lived and who's now trying to buy back and catch up with their long gone youth.

The most underrated productivity hack?

Taking breaks.

But not just any break. Science says there’s a right way to do it.

Here’s how to restore your energy (and do better work) in 5 proven steps:

[George Mack @george__mack]

The hack from 1990-2020 was increasing digital time. You got ahead of the competition. The current hack is increasing analog time because it’s extremely rare. Walks without a phone. Carry a notepad. Fly in for meetings. Write a physical letter. Stare at a wall. 3D mode.

Also true for most of modern architecture and interior design. No wonder there is a notable rising interest in traditional/ethnic building forms and design.

[David Perell @david_perell]

Watched an interview with Casey Neistat today, who talked about how all the teenagers take selfies on point-and-shoot cameras instead of smartphones now.

iPhone photos have gotten too perfect. The automatic photo editing software has gotten so good that photos have been stripped of personality. By contrast, point-and-shoot cameras produce messier photos, but that makes them distinctive, and people like that.

This is a microcosm of what's going to be a big trend over the next decade: the rebellion against sterile "perfection."

@mindfulmaven_ A busy world is meant to distract us from what’s truly important.

You start a business to change your life…
But somewhere along the way,
you end up changing other people’s lives too.
And THAT is the real win.

[Dean Abbott @DeanAbbott]

Your life isn't a machine. You can't get the results you want just by making the right inputs and flipping a switch.

If you are frustrated by how long things take, remember your life is more like a plant than a machine. It grows and blooms at its own place.

Your job is to tend and nourish.

[Dr. Arthur Brooks @arthurbrooks]

Enduring happiness is not the result of constant pleasure or achievement. It is the byproduct of ordering your life around the things that are worthy of your love.

In my work and research, I’ve found that deep happiness most often arises from five sources:

1. Love: A commitment to will the good of another. It is not merely a feeling, but a decision to live oriented toward others.

2. Faith or a guiding philosophy: A transcendent frame that gives your life coherence, purpose, and significance—even in suffering.

3. Friendship: Loyal, vulnerable, joy-filled relationships that aren’t transactional, but rooted in shared life and mutual growth.

4. Meaningful work: The chance to earn your success and use your gifts in service of something beyond yourself.

5. Contact with beauty: Encounters with art, nature, music, or truth that awaken wonder and lift us outside our own concerns.

Happiness built on these is a steady practice that anchors your life in what matters, even when everything else is in motion.
