Koh Samui, Thailand Wellness Retreat| Soft Life, Healing, Community & Going Gluten Free

Welcome back! I’m Temi — a solo traveler exploring Southeast Asia and sharing my journey as a Black woman discovering new cities, cultures, and moments that push me to grow. This channel is where I show the honest side of travel, stay vulnerable, and live by my motto: live fearlessly, stay inspired. ✨

This chapter takes place in Koh Samui, Thailand, where I joined a women’s wellness retreat that became a reset I didn’t know I needed. From landing on the island and meeting the other women to slow beach walks, sound therapy, journaling, quiet moments, and multiple massages throughout the week, this retreat reminded me what connection, softness, and community feel like.

Somewhere in the calm, I also discovered I needed to go gluten free. This vlog captures the beginning of that shift and what it looked like to adjust in the middle of a wellness retreat.

We visited a temple too, but after all the temple exploring in Bangkok, I reached my limit. So this video leans into the parts of the retreat that brought me back to myself: community, joy, rest, and honest conversations with women I had just met.

As a Black woman traveling solo, this journey has become bigger than me. I am learning, healing, and building a community in real time. One day, I hope to create wellness retreats for other women who want soft moments, sisterhood, rest, and space to breathe.

Thank you for being here.
