The writer, who usually turns vacations into workations, has arrived at Pemako Punakha, a luxury retreat in Bhutan, in search of a true break. The drive from the airport to the retreat takes 2.5 hours and feels like a journey back to prehistoric times, with no network signal in sight. As they cross a suspension bridge over a river, they are reminded of a scene from Schitt’s Creek, and they nervous laugh it off. Leaving behind their work schedules and itineraries, they are finally embracing a real getaway, away from the hustle and bustle of fashion week.
