Venita Akpofure is currently vacationing in Bali, Indonesia. The reality star and actress took to her Instagram page to share a series of pictures with the caption: ”Some people are a phase. I’m a whole ecosystem. The Phase of the Red Unicorn: Intricately made, beautifully rare, deeply aware that not everyone qualifies for this altitude. Sitting on a level matched by none. A little exotic. A little celestial. A little “please remain behind the velvet rope.”

Bali is described as the “Island of Gods” with its thick Ubud jungles, volcanic landscape, and rolling terraced hills. Surrounded by lush greenery, Venita posed barefoot inside a woven bird’s nest structure overlooking the valley.
