VerLux Journey - Version of Luxury Journey, Dinh Cong, Hoang Mai, Hanoi (2025)

09/05/2025

There are mornings when I don’t want much. No music. No news. No morning greetings. Just a cup of tea, still warm in my hands. Not to drink right away - just to feel its warmth. And in that quiet, I realize how long it’s been since my hands last held something truly warm. Not a person. Not a possession. But a feeling - real, alive, here. I didn’t need to sip. I just needed to feel... as if my own hands were holding me.

Then I placed the cup down. A soft breeze brushed against my cheek. A sliver of morning light fell across an open page. I didn’t rush to write anything. I didn’t feel the need to say anything. I just felt... enough. Enough, in the quiet presence of so little. Enough, without needing to be seen. Without needing to record or prove. Just enough - because I was here. With myself.

I’ve never been asked this question before a meal: “How would you like to feel tonight?” Not “what would you like to eat?” Not “fish or beef?” But simply: “How do you want to feel?” And then, without handing me a menu, the chef smiled gently and disappeared into the kitchen.

It was a private villa dining experience at Six Senses Bhutan. A small table set on the terrace, the mountain breeze brushing against my shoulders, no music, no words—just me, the firelight, and a sky full of stars that felt as if someone had lit them just for me. The first course arrived: a wild forest salad. Leaves I didn’t recognize, flavors I couldn’t name. But the moment it touched my lips, I realized it had been so long since I tasted something that didn’t come from a market, a supermarket, or a delivery bag. The second course followed: a warm soup, subtly infused with the scent of woodsmoke. I paused and wondered, “Where does this flavor belong?” The chef simply smiled again, saying, “Not about where it’s from. But about where it brings you.”

That night, I didn’t eat to be full. I ate to remember the flavors I had forgotten. Because sometimes, luxury isn’t in the price of a dish or the complexity of a recipe—it’s in having someone listen to how you feel, and craft a meal not for your stomach, but for your soul.

“Are you truly enjoying life… or just living according to your calendar?”

I once knew a man — successful, composed, always on time.

His schedule was always full:
6am jog. 7am Zoom call. 9am client meeting. Lunch with partners. Afternoon deals. Evening French class. Weekend golf — also for networking.

One day, he reached out to Verlux.
Not because he wanted a vacation.
But because his doctor said something was wrong with his liver.
And the first thing he asked me was:
“Do you have any retreats that still get good Wi-Fi so I can work while I’m there?”

I didn’t answer.
I just sent him a photo:
A wooden villa on the edge of a mountain.
No phone signal.
But a tea table overlooking the valley.
A long chair by the window.
And a mirror placed exactly at eye level.

Three days later, he messaged me:

"For the first time in 10 years, I let a day pass without checking my email — and didn’t feel guilty."

Life isn’t meant to be completed — it’s meant to be felt.
What are you feeling today?

“Why the more successful you are… the more silence scares you.”

91% of high-performing individuals admit they feel ‘uneasy’ in completely silent spaces.
(Source: Journal of Consumer Research, 2021)

Not because they dislike silence.
But because they’ve trained their minds to always be "on" — solving, managing, deciding, providing.
Silence forces them to face something unfamiliar:
Themselves.

And often… they don’t know who they are without the work.

“The more power and responsibility people hold, the more likely they are to lose touch with their emotional core.”
(Harvard Kennedy School, 2019)

That’s why many highly accomplished individuals...

No longer feel joy, even after achieving “enough”

Feel hollow once the screen shuts down

Can’t sit still in a room without an agenda

✅ Verlux doesn’t just offer travel. We offer return.
Travel is not where it’s quietest.
It’s where you finally choose to listen.

This isn’t just exhaustion.
It’s your brain... slowly shutting down.

1. 76% of employees say their work no longer feels meaningful.
📌 Gallup (2023) defines this as “meaningless busyness” — people are busy all day, yet feel like they’re not moving forward.
➡️ The irony? You complete everything... but feel emptier with each task. The issue isn’t the work — it’s that you’ve stopped being part of it.

2. High-income professionals are 2.5x more likely to experience anticipatory stress.
📌 Journal of Applied Psychology reports that top earners often feel constant pressure to stay ahead — even during downtime.
➡️ The result? You’re not really resting — just rehearsing your next move in a luxury setting.

3. Over 60% of people feel tired… but can’t explain why.
📌 Mental Health Foundation (UK) calls this “emotional numbness” — a state where your emotions go on mute. You’re not sad, not happy, not angry. Just... slower every day.
➡️ The danger? It’s not the pain that breaks you — it’s the slow erosion of your ability to feel anything at all.

Exhaustion isn’t what will break you.
Getting used to it… will.

“No one is truly happy.
Some are just better at hiding it.”

I used to be the one who gave everyone else energy.
Smiling at the right time. Saying the right things.
I thought that was kindness.
Until I realized—I was kind to the whole world…
except myself.

I mastered the art of hiding my exhaustion.
Packed schedule. Polished hugs. Hopeful Instagram captions.

But deep down…
I once cried because no one asked if I was okay—
not in a way that truly wanted an honest answer.

I booked a flight to Bali on impulse.
No plans. No out-of-office email.
Just after a 2-hour meeting and 13 unread messages,
I shut my laptop, opened the app, and bought the ticket.

I stayed in a villa clinging to a cliffside.
On the second evening,
I cried as the sun melted into the sea.

Not because I was in pain.
But because—for the first time, I wasn’t pretending to be fine.

Don’t wait until you break.
Leave… when you feel you’re losing the quiet inside you.
