Pakistan | Quetta Serena Hotel Balochistan 5-Star Luxury Travel Review

[@AngelaCarson]

Come spend 9 nights eating and lounging at the lovely 5-star QUETTA SERENA HOTEL. I'm truly excited to show you this pretty property ... or better said, this oasis of luxury!! UPDATE: my Sindh trip completely fell apart at the last minute and then was cancelled sadly. So I'm reviewing 2 hotels this week instead and then heading to Kashmir! If you'd like to follow my day-to-day travels, please check out Instagram Story: instagram.com/angelacarson.xo As my mission, I'm creating LUXURY TRAVEL videos and visiting tourist areas and historic sites not yet well documented here on KZbin: - if you'd like to see all of my Pakistan hotel reviews and vlogs, please save this playlist kzbin.info/aero/PL88xCnJRARRmULI76LXtnoqMRQq5RNu0bb - If you’d like to watch all of my Balochistan videos, here’s that playlist kzbin.info/aero/PL88xCnJRARRnzCv7hACMQJPcaPNWZi0tW

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Sorry to hear about your last minute cancellation trip to Sindh. But look forward to your trip to Kashmir.

[@AngelaCarson]

@@Yasin_Affandi Ughhh yeah, was not happy about that, I travelled 10 hours down to Sindh for that trip :-(

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@AngelaCarson Sorry to hear that.

[@waqasafzal2522]

In Pakistan, females does tell their real age to anyone. Hopefully we will see your videos in which you look like 40 years. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH3Rl3eHbLimfpI (12:40 you mentioned that you wants to look like 40).

@@AngelaCarson hi there! I land in Karachi on the 9th! My visa is only 30 days but want to extend when there for 3 months! I will spend a couple of weeks in Karachi area then head up through tge country to the North! I have a you tube channel but not vlogged proper yet! So this will all be new to me too! Will you still be around? Would love to get together if we happen to be close at some point! ... oh and I’m older than you 🙈😉lol! I’ve never been so excited for a country as this! I’ve met a lot through the couchsurfing community but that’s about it! No set itinerary, I like to go with the flow ... my vlogs will be very basic until I get the hang of everything!! Yours and some others there now are proving invaluable material! So happy I found you guys right before I come ! 🇵🇰❤️

[@Nidz1]

I'm Pakistani and I love seeing your videos. The beautiful luxurious presentation

[@cookbot]

Angela, What can I say! your vlogs are AMAAAAAZING. I am an expat living in the UK and yearn to see all those beautiful places highlighted in your videos one day. I was over the moon to see my hometown in one of your videos and it brought back all my childhood memories. Thank you for visiting my country and showing what good is there to be seen in Pakistan (a country that has been slated for decades for its negative image). What is so good about your channel is that there is no pretense, all you find is honesty and trustworthy information. I loved your 'Love & Hate' video. Hope we as a nation can take on board what you said and change if not all but most negatives to the positives by your next visit (that would be an achievement). You would find most Pakistanis to be over apologetic when you point out their mistakes as seen in most of the comments left on your videos, where you have shared your experiences. I believe this to be the beauty of this nation and I hope you have experienced it too. I wouldn't claim that there aren't bad apples in Pakistan because there are 😩. I apologize for any misbehavior you had to experience so far. However, I would urge you to keep in mind that most of the negative messages you receive COULD BE from the neighboring country (. . . . .). If you get a chance to review these article from world renowned News outlets then it may help as to why you receive countless inappropriate DMs. Again, I am not trying to justify anything here but pointing out the facts. Please keep up the good work and I cannot wait to see your next video. 😊 www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/12/11/eu-ngo-report-uncovers-a-15-year-disinformation-campaign www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-55232432

Ma'am just astonishing, you make me cry 😂, it's just spectacular to see how you present all of this amazing stuff in one short video with all the small details, ohh that succulent meat so juicy and all the good yummy stuff, you always miss something in different places but here you find it all who knew right, you told us many times about they the only property who have the Central heating system which is also called HVAC, you can find it here but not in lahore Islamabad or Karachi. It just blow our minds. We never ever imagined that quetta 5 star hotel is way ahead of other hotels in Pakistan. Also loves your attire same style but lovely colors every time, which have the touch of Eastern and western flavor, is it the ready made you buy or is it tailor stitched. Bow 🙇 to you cus you are giving us the vibe of Rocky 🥊 balboa in your medical walking boots, it didn't stop you abit you are always on a move. Now looking good in terms or your eye circle just a minor bit left to heal, and so sorry about the cancelation of the sindh trip but looking forward to kashmir, Like I always say more power to you, messive Respect, cheers 🥂

@@AngelaCarson That wasn't nice at all especially at a 5 🌟 hotel. D staff should be more polite with their guests.

[@rohinaiqbal7109]

I’ll be curious to see your “must do list” at the end of your country visit. Since you have visited more than the stereotypical blogger places in Pakistan, I think it will be informative. I understand that you did not visit museums, so one could use your experience and one other blogger to get a fuller picture.

[@AngelaCarson]

I am planning that when I leave (Top 5 Hotels & Places To Explore) :-) And yeah ... I wish I enjoyed museums but I just don't. Never have. I remember being in Paris at the Louvre with my daughter when she was 10 years old and she had more patience and desire to explore it than I did :-)

[@rohinaiqbal7109]

Fully understand. Traveling is very personal. For example, I love history and checking out the local music scene of other countries. Others might find that incredibly boring. Overall, love the blogs, particularly the UNESCO sites and the unique landscapes. Look forward to your recap. Also am curious to see if the women in public space thing evolved. I agree with you that it can be a little disconcerting when you first land, especially in certain areas. But I do find that you get used to it a bit more. Not sure if that is Stockholm syndrome or you get a better sense of cultural norms after some time (I.e. laborers frequented areas have less women). Look forward to hearing more and seeing a honest recap!
