"The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams" - Oprah Winfrey
Welcome to my little corner of the internet, where I share my experiences of food, culture and general adventures and misadventures while exploring the world as a Black British/Zimbabwean woman. Travelling is an activity that fills me with lots of joy and doing it longterm was a dream I nurtured for 15years before taking the unconventional leap to make it a reality. I hope my journey will not only inspire curiosity about the rest of the world, but may alight a flame to take action that will set fire, and release into your reality, the dream that burns deep inside you. May all the doubts, limiting beliefs and naysayers become stories of the past, as you write new chapters in your book.
I would also like to help and support individuals that are ready to take a leap towards their dream of travelling. Whether you need support to gain confidence on taking a solo trip, want help to save money for your trip, how to prepare for your trip or help to plan an adventure of your own, please browse my website and send me a message on the contact page or email me directly.

Sunrise floating over pyramids
There are few things that I would not withhold from myself, for an opportunity to explore more of the world. I love the unique experiences that are borne from being in fresh, unfamiliar environments. I
A date with an American-Cambodian Tuk-tuk Driver
I read Vagabonding By Rolf Potts when I first got into Cambodia and his message really resonated with me. Travel for me is not so much about ticking things off a list as ‘completed’ but
Mexico – First Impressions
For a couple of years, I had been dreaming of visiting Mexico. I had watched hours and hours of videos of people travelling around the country, and then switched to the ‘ExitUS towards Mexico’ content
As an introvert with a passionate desire to see as much of the world as possible, I get to witness so much beauty and like to share the wonders of our world as experienced through both my natural and inorganic lens. What I cannot capture through the inorganic lens, I try to paint the pictures, in words.
As I cannot always convince the people in my world to join me, I occasionally find myself arriving in places alone. One of the best things I have learnt through visiting 35+ countries, so far, is that there will always be people who are happy to help. More often than not, even as an introvert, I find myself having to be deliberate about spending time alone, as there are so many likeminded people also travelling alone and locals, wanting to invite me into their world.
If you have ever considered long term travel or solo travel, and would like some support and encouragement in that pursuit, do get in touch through my contact page or email me directly.
This journey enables me to challenge some of my fears and my misconceptions about different people, places and ideas. It allows me to meet and engage with people from different walks of life and I have consequently learnt so much more about different cultures. The journeys force me to learn more about myself and grow in ways that cannot be manufactured in the comfort of my home. It creates opportunities for phenomenal, unique experiences, that were previously wistful desires of a chronic day dreamer.
I would love this little corner of the internet to be a place you find things that may be interesting, useful, inspiring or thought provoking. I would love to create a dialogue with people who read my blog and therefore, please reach out with any questions, comments or even just to say hello. Most importantly, I hope I can inspire to to consistently create moments in your day that bring you joy.
