I Booked a Luxury Vacation… But Ended Up in a Goat Farm 🐐💸 (True Story)

You know that feeling when you think you’ve made the best travel booking of your life… and 24 hours later you’re sleeping next to a goat named Alfredo?

Yeah. That happened to me.

Let me explain.

🌴 The Dream: Luxury Eco-Resort in the Mountains

The photos were stunning. Infinity pool. Sunrise yoga. Organic food. A “remote wellness sanctuary.”

It was a little pricey, but I thought—YOLO. I clicked “Book Now” faster than my brain could say “read the reviews.”

Mistake #1.

🚗 The Journey Begins (and Goes Sideways)

After 3 hours on a bus, 1 wrong train, and a sketchy taxi ride where the driver asked if I believed in aliens (?), I finally arrived…

At a gate.

With chickens. And goats. And a sign that said:
“Welcome to Happy Hill Animal Healing Farm.”

🐐 Reality Check: Alfredo and Friends

No pool. No yoga. No electricity after 10 PM.

But I did get:
• Woken up at 5:30 by a rooster named Beyoncé
• Bitten by a goose (twice)
• A guided meditation session… with cows

The “organic food”? Raw carrots and something green that mooed at me.

🤯 The Plot Twist

I was ready to leave—until I realized…

This might be the best accident of my life.

I met amazing people, learned to milk a goat (I was terrible), and found peace I didn’t know I needed.

Also: goats are surprisingly therapeutic. Alfredo and I are basically soulmates now.

🎯 The Takeaway

Sometimes, your biggest travel fails turn into your best stories.
Would I recommend booking random places off Instagram again?

No.
Would I go back to that farm?

Also no.
But do I regret it?

Absolutely not.
