During my internship program at St. Regis Bal Harbour Miami, one of the luxurious five-star hotel in sunny Miami, Florida, my senior
colleagues invited me to join them on an exciting adventure to Colorado. It was
a thrilling opportunity for us as Asians living near the equator, as we had
never experienced snow before. Together with my colleague from Bali, we eagerly
planned our trip to Colorado in November 2019, eager to explore the winter
wonderland that awaited. Despite my initial invitation, my group friends
declined to join, so it was just me with the senior's intern group venturing
into this snowy escapade. Dividing into two groups, myself, Billy, Ricky, Lisa,
Inten, and the other group Kevin, Boy, Dwiky, and Dewa, we set off on our journey,
with Kevin's group leaving ahead of us.
Our
destination? The charming town of Breckenridge, nestled in the heart of
Colorado. The town is renowned for being one of the top destinations for winter
sports enthusiasts, especially during the ski season. Situated in the Rocky
Mountains, Breckenridge offers stunning natural landscapes with towering peaks
covered in snow during the winter months. Apart from being a haven for skiers
and snowboarders, Breckenridge also offers various activities and attractions
throughout the year. During the summer season, visitors can enjoy hiking,
mountain biking, fishing, and exploring the beautiful natural parks in the
surrounding area. The town also boasts a picturesque downtown area with
historic buildings, unique shops, and restaurants offering a wide range of
local and international cuisine. Furthermore, Breckenridge is known for its
festivals and cultural events held throughout the year, including music
festivals, art festivals, and local cultural celebrations. With its welcoming
and friendly atmosphere, Breckenridge is the perfect destination to visit both
during the winter and summer seasons, offering unforgettable holiday experiences
for travelers from around the world.
After
flying from Miami to Denver, we embarked on a picturesque three-hour drive to
Breckenridge, reveling in the stunning snowy landscapes along the way. Upon
arriving at our Airbnb, we took a moment to rest, enjoy a hearty meal, and
admire the snowy scenery before reuniting with Kevin's group to explore the
town. The following day, we ventured into downtown Breckenridge, indulging in
souvenir shopping and tasting local delicacies. Later, we headed to a nearby
snowboard resort, unfortunately, the resort was still closed. Nevertheless, the
breathtaking scenery and occasional stops to soak in the beauty of Breckenridge's
snow-covered landscape made the journey worthwhile.
We
too took the time to visit a adjacent lake for a few comfortable snow play,
savoring within the characteristic magnificence that was a stark differentiate
to our tropical origins. After a day filled with enterprise, we returned to our
Airbnb to cook supper together. Within the evening, we arranged to explore Breckenridge's
night vibes, but our plans took an unexpected turn when we were pulled over by
the police for missing the stop sign on the cold, foggy night. In spite of the initial
panic, the officers were understanding and offered friendly advice, reminding
us to be cautious of signs as tourists.
The following morning, we continued our exploration of Breckenridge,
enjoying more local cuisine and searching for discounts at local shops. As the
evening drawn closer, we reluctantly prepared to check out and head back to
Denver. The drive back was filled with laughter and shared memories as we
visited downtown Denver, enjoying its European-like ambiance and hunting for
Asian restaurants. After a delightful meal together, we bid farewell to
Colorado and headed to the airport for our return flight to Miami, cherishing
the memories of our immensely enjoyable and unforgettable trip.
