All of today and tomorrow remaining in my trip to Singapore. Plus a little of Sunday as we don’t fly until 6pm.
I definitely want to make a return visit to the Japanese onsen, sample some more local food and explore some other neighbourhoods.

Just enjoyed an amazing couple of hours in a Japanese-style onsen in the heart of Singapore.
Will definitely be making a return visit before flying home. It was the most perfect way to unwind after a day of walking the city.
On my way to meet a local Singaporean friend to go for a soak in the onsen ♨️ Cannot wait for a couple of very relaxing hours in the water.
Bought a little accessory for my Traveler’s Notebook to remind me of my trip to Singapore. Travelling hand baggage only means the mementos have to be tiny!
Starting the day with my travel journal from Travelers Company, capturing memories for future me. ☕️
I love my gadgets, but there’s still something amazing about committing your thoughts to paper.
Made it to Singapore!
Spent the entire flight nodding off and waking up with a violent jerk. I’m sure I looked bizarre.
Happy to be on the ground again, in a taxi, and heading to our hotel.
No more flights for a week ✈️
Landed in Phuket after a lovely flight with Qatar Airlines. Delicious onboard food and even managed a nap.
90mins until our flight to Singapore, so now it’s time for some caffeine.
The business lounge in Sofia Airport has a smoking zone. Which means the entire lounge reeks of foul cigarette smoke.
Revolting.
Bye bye, Sofia!
Well, breakfast was awful.
Every single cooked offering on the buffet was stone cold. Which I discovered, obviously, after making my selection. Cold bacon doesn’t do it for me.
Ended up with a healthier bowl of fruit, so it wasn’t all bad. Now, time to check out and head to the airport ✈️
Time for breakfast here in Sofia, after which we’ll head to the airport for our flight to Doha.
Looking forward to getting onboard and relaxing. Once I’ve navigated all the hassles of the airport ✈️
We get a couple of hours in Doha before our flight onwards to Asia. When I’ll hopefully sleep most of the way.
My luggage for the next ten days. Carry-on only is the way to go ✈️
My trusty Rimowa paired with my new backpack from Bellroy. 🧳
When you’re too early for the Elizabeth Line…
My last full work day before travel.
Off to Singapore tomorrow for a break and some work. Looking forward to running a wellbeing workshop for new clients while I’m there.
And as soon as I’m back, it’s time to head to Dublin for more work.
A busy couple of weeks ahead. ✈️
In the ‘Sala VIP’ (business lounge) at Barcelona Airport. Still impressed with how they’ve improved it since I was a monthly business commuter to Barcelona.
Tucking into some tortilla and delicious salami while I wait for my flight to London. ✈️
I secured a late checkout from my hotel, so I have time for a final couple of hours by the pool.
Extracting every moment of pleasure before I have to fly back to London. ✈️
My last evening in Sitges.
So I’m treating myself to a nice meal out. I’ve already packed my suitcase, so no last minute rushing tomorrow morning.
Time to soak up the evening rays and relaxing atmosphere before returning to…London. 🤪
Another few hours of reading in the sun. I’m nothing if not consistent!
On my way out for some food and some all-important people-watching!
It’s finally cooling down. A little.
The view from here as I work through my task list…
A boy could get used to this!
Enjoyed a lovely walk around Sitges this morning after breakfast.
Then went for a cold drink in the shade and did some people watching. It was lovely to relax with my own thoughts, my notebook and some caffeine. Did a lot of planning, journalling and reflecting. Which is exactly why I’m here.
Really enjoying the breeze coming in off the sea this afternoon.
Just another short while out here and then it’s time for a shower and a pre-dinner nap.
I could really get used to this pace of life! ⛱️☀️
Four hours (so far) by the hotel pool today
Engrossed in books and podcasts, occasionally repositioning myself to align with the sunshine, and topping up my AF beer at the bar.
Time is both flying by (I fly home on Wednesday) but it also feels like I’ve been here for weeks.
I adore Sitges.
Back to my hotel and in bed before midnight.
In case I turn into a pumpkin! Also, reminding myself this break is supposed to be a retreat and a focus on my well-being, not a party (that was back in June, at Pride). So it’s time for sleep and tuning several shades browner overnight.
Taking myself out for dinner in Sitges.
I never mind eating alone. I know not everyone finds it comfortable, but I enjoy the space to think.
Visiting my favourite place here, Bella Ciao. It has been consistently great over the years I’ve been visiting.
