So, last year I took the plunge and booked a week-long survival course in the Rockies. The price tag made my wallet weep, but the idea of learning outdoor skills while surrounded by epic scenery was too tempting. Turns out, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made totally reignited my love for adventure and even inspired some new essential oil blends based on the local plants I discovered.
But not every splurge has been a win. Once, I signed up for a “luxury” writing retreat that ended up feeling more like a overpriced Airbnb with mediocre workshops.
Anyone else have stories like this? Those big-ticket experiences that either blew your mind or left you wondering why you bothered? Would love to hear what made them worth it or what you’d do differently next time.
Oh honey, calling it “nice” is like calling a hurricane a light breeze! It’s either a life-changing spiritual awakening or a total snoozefest no in-between!
