About our Swat holiday

Last year in September, my husband and I booked a weekend escape in Serena hotel Swat to celebrate our first wedding anniversary.

Swat Travel Journal

By now you probably know about my love for travel journals.
It was a short trip and I didn’t want to put in too much energy or time into making a proper travel journal for it. So I decided to make a really quick and easy one. I used an old 4×6 sized photo album. I quickly jotted down a few main details, pasted photos and wrappers, doodled a little and it was good to go. The best part of this travel journal was that it was literally done and dusted in half a day.

A Quick DIY Travel Journal

I realise most of my travel journals have taken up a lot of time and I have gone into details but this time I just wanted to keep it as short and to-the-point as possible. A lot of my friends have told me that they would love to document their holidays but its too much hard work for them so they can’t be bothered. Well, if you are one of those, this journal was not like that at all. Anyone can make it, its that simple. Here is a photo tour of our Swat tour:

Being an immigrant means carrying so much silently — homesickness, loneliness, motherhood without family, grief far from home. Therapy has helped me through my own storms, and I truly believe every woman deserves support. 🌼

A day filled with gratitude to celebrate our biggest blessings Alhamdulillah ❤️ A birthday party spread across three backyards.  Cake, Candles & Community. 

We planned it so the kids could play freely — Hot Wheels slides, water table/guns, trampoline, bubbles, biking, sandplay, playground, playkitchen, car rides, painting, playground, digger zone, treasure hunts — and the parents could relax and enjoy. 

Preloved treasures, plants giveaways, homemade mango sponge cake, and some comfort food.

Celebrating Nyra & Zyem….
And one full year in this home, this neighbourhood, this community that feels like family.
Grateful for every smile, every helping hand, every little moment. ❤️😍
