Know Me

There is so much beauty around us and in the world if we could only let ourselves see it. I believe we only have one life to live and should make the best of it so I try everyday to see something new or something old in a new way, I love being creative and travel is a passion. I'm a solo traveller and would like to encourage many more to take a step out on their own. This website is where I share my life journey. Hope my craziness inspires you :)

Visiting the Himba people of #namibia and learning about their culture was a highlight of my trip. I’m fascinated by their way of life, the philosophy and their culture but most importantly I’m proud that they have chosen to maintain their ways even as the rest of the world is falling in line with the western culture.
Growing up, I’ve always viewed #safaris as something only rich, white people do and though there is some truth to this: they are expensive, they are not out of reach to the average, middle class. With the right planning it’s a dream worth living; the smallness you feel when you see these big animals in nature.
When picking a hotel, one of my deciding factors is the hotel’s design and decor. I love picking locations that have elements of the local history and traditions and my choice of @dhowpalacehotel was all I expected and much more. The hotel was designed to incorporate many elements of Arabic and Swahili design : from high arch ways to intricate wood works and the halls are filled with historical memorabilia plus service was impeccable. What elements do you look for on your hotels ?
The #Maasai are a semi- nomadic tribe found in #tanzania and #kenya. Their lives and livelihoods revolve around their cattle which is also a measure of how wealthy a tribe or person is. Most of their nourishment comes from cows: milk, cheese, butter, oil, meat and blood 🩸. Yes, they cook with cow’s blood and they drink it too and I was privileged to participate in this tradition. So why do they drink cow blood? Because it’s a great source of nutrients and an amazing antidote for a hangover 😆.
#zanzibar is known for it’s amazing aquatic biodiversity so it’s a must do; ride one of its traditional dhow boats to go search for #starfish in paje. Paje is famous for @therockzanzibar. At low tide (morning till noon) the restaurant is accessible on foot but when high tides come in you need a boat.
One highlight of my trip to Zanzibar was the time spent visiting @emersonzanzibar either for high tea, dinner or a chat with its colorful people. Mr. Farouk an embodiment of charisma was a true delight to spend time with and every worker at this iconic establishment exudes the zanzibarean spirit of welcome
