Nigerian singer and songwriter Tiwa Savage recently opened up about her first solo vacation in the Maldives, admitting that she felt anxious about traveling alone after such a long time.
Through a collection of stunning photos and sincere reflections on Instagram, Tiwa shared her journey of self-exploration and personal growth.
Taking the leap for her inaugural solo trip was initially intimidating for her, but she found the strength to confront her fears and embrace a week dedicated to introspection.
During her time alone, Tiwa immersed herself in enriching activities like listening to audiobooks, studying the Bible, and engaging in prayer. She made personal commitments and reaffirmed her dedication to her faith, allowing herself to let go of fears and insecurities, ultimately fostering a deep sense of self-love and acceptance.
In her touching post, Tiwa highlighted a significant realization: she has always been enough, and there’s nothing about herself that requires change. She expressed deep gratitude for her supportive family, successful career, and meaningful connections.
Additionally, Tiwa mentioned her intention to share future adventures with her son, who joined her on the trip after her solo retreat.
She wrote;
”2025 I pray to do everything different. My first assignment was to go on vacation for at least a week by myself.
I have never even been to a restaurant or to the movies by myself let alone a whole vacation. I was sooo nervous. Like how will I go to dinner by myself, go to the beach alone. The truth is even when I travel I’m usually in my hotel room alone most of the time but I always have my team around just in case I need anything. But this time I packed my bags (I still over packed sha… somethings take longer to change) and I headed to maldives with my downloaded audio books, my bible, selfie stick, lots of kaftans and bikinis, sun lotion and my black a$$
It was the most beautiful experience EVERRRR…after I got past the first day of my fears, I started listening to my audio books, reading the word, praying, made some promises to myself and to God. I lived in every single moment and just kept thanking God for the life I live (even though sometimes I don’t seem to appreciate it) the grace over me. The protection over me and mines and at some point I cried, when I think of how much time I’ve wasted on people and things that just distracted me, made me feel so insecure and ultimately away from true love/Gods love
I am so blessed, blessed with my beautiful family, an incredible career, an amazing relationship, a brilliant team and the most amazing friends
So for days I kept thinking what more does tiwa want, who am I? And I thought some deep revelation would come and I would write down how I could improve myself but it wasn’t coming so I decided Abeg let me stop thinking too hard and worrying and just relax, swim, read, eat great food ……and literally I started falling in love with myself, my personality, my humor, my quirks, my skin, my hair, my everything …. omooo I realized there is really nothing to change I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ENOUGH
Btw my son joined me after my time alone because that is another promise I made … to experience the world with him
“This One Is Personal” 2025”.
