The Wellness Editor of Hello! Magazine on her first life-changing retreat with Travelgems
“Not to be too deep, but my whole life I feel like I’ve been waiting for a wake-up call, like we see people have in films or read about in romance novels. I’d always imagined having a eureka moment and changing my whole life – and while I’m not feeling that dramatic, I do feel changed after my trip. That’s exactly what Travelgems’ founder Niki Smirni hopes people will get from her retreats.”
“She told me she wants her trips to create a lasting impact on the attendees, to give us something we can take away with us and use in our lives going forward – and that’s exactly how I feel, as I plan to build the habits I learned on my retreat into my daily life.
“Not only am I trying a new Amoila-approved workout routine, my retreat-mates and I created a WhatsApp group where we hold each other accountable, checking in when we’ve done our daily workout and motivating each other when we’re not feeling it.””I’m not being hyperbolic when I say my retreat experience changed my life, and I can’t wait for the next one.”
