  • This week, I got my fill of vitamin D and headed to the Spanish island of Tenerife for some Winter sun. I hope you enjoy this solo travel around Tenerife vlog. I stayed in South Tenerife in the Bahia Principe Fantasia hotel and resort ( trés fancy lol) and I had a swim up room. The area I stayed in was Golf del Sur, and it was a nice quiet spot for a Winter sun break.
    Mount Teide, I booked my excursion through my hotel for the Mount Teide day trip. The trip was a full day and brought me to the village of Masca, through the mountains and then through Vilaflor.
    La Gomera island day trip: I went on a jeep safari to the island of la Gomera from Tenerife with Tamaran. www.tamaran.com/en/activities...
    The ferry took 40 minutes and arrived at San Sebastián de La Gomera. If you suffer from travel sickness, then beware that the roads are up and down, narrow, and the jeeps go fast at times.

I keep going to my door and opening it because if I don’t it will be frozen shut. I already had to force the door open a few time because of the ice and snow. Enjoy the sun ☀️.!

    I'm so glad to see you were away on one of your trips... I am just back from a 2 month trip to Australia...so good to get some sun on my skin and see my son and his wife and meet my beautiful grand daughter. If you ever get the chance you should really go...it was absolutely amazing.... for those pesky mosquitos and other bugs try using lemongrass oil or peppermint oil as they don't like it...my husband gets bitten loads but when he uses the oil he's fine. I loved corfu when I was there many years ago . Looking forward to catching up on all your videos that I've missed . Take care and stay safe xxx

    Thank you for taking us along on your adventure. Yes, I'm sitting in my cottage in Vermont USA and the snow is really coming down. It's beautiful and very welcome. We haven't had that much yet this winter. Take care and be that tree...I love the image and will use it.
