Seven days in Ghana tracing history, honoring ancestors, and experiencing modern life in Accra and Cape Coast. From the dungeons of Elmina and Cape Coast Castles to naming ceremonies, markets, and the chaos of city streets—this journey blends reflection, culture, and discovery.
That time I tried to ride a camel and lost. (My best friend’s account) Maybe it’s where their eyes are on their heads, or the impossibly long lashes, I’m not really sure. But what I do know is camels look like they don’t trust you. I was ready for that; I had prepared myself for... Continue Reading →
The birthday trip to Marrakech was a vibrant Moroccan adventure filled with unforgettable experiences. Highlights included exploring the souk, learning about argan oil, a cooking class, henna workshop, and belly dancing. Day trips to Essaouira and the Atlas Mountains added to the excitement, culminating in a sunset camel ride and fire show.
So I traveled to Rio de Janeiro last Fall and I guess I need to revisit and revise my travel tips. Previously, I stated that you’d have an easier time as a foreigner navigating in countries where the Olympics have been held - Brazil has decided to prove me wrong. One night, my bestie and...

"Don't listen to what they say, go see" Full disclosure - when I say I’m taking a trip it generally means I’m crossing an ocean. I define travel as anywhere outside of the country where I reside - the United States. That’s not to say that the USA doesn’t have places of interest that I’ve... Continue Reading →
