Don't Tell Me I can't… Holiday Solo

Vivian Chuene decided to celebrate her 30th birthday in Bali on her own, and got more out of the trip than she ever expected…

As a child I’d sit and daydream about the breathtaking places in the travel section of the magazines scattered around our house. I’d dream of one day relaxing on a beautiful beach on a tropical island or hailing a yellow cab under the bright lights of new york city.

Then in my late twenties I had the opportunity to go abroad. In 2016 I was working in pR and a client included me in a tour of America which included Texas, Washington, d.C., pennsylvania and New York, where I finally had my cab ride. My first experience abroad was so amazing that after that trip I was hooked and vowed to travel and discover a new place every year. So, in 2017, I turned a business trip to paris into an extended holiday and toured the City of Lights for five days with a few of my colleagues.
