We traveled to Tanzania as a bucket list trip. We immersed ourself in the land, the wildlife and the culture with opportunities to visit with the Maasai people and other incredible experiences. Through the 10 days, we visited Arusha, Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Spent 6 days exploring the Serengeti.

This was a wellness retreat with Ekam Wellness where veterinarians can earn CE credits by learning about the animals and guided yoga sessions.

Silverback gorilla trekking in Uganda has always been high on my bucket list. Although high, it was one that felt far, far away. That was until I looked into it and learned there are fewer than 1,100 mountain gorillas left in the world. They are spread across three African countries: Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Gorilla trekking offers a glimpse into the world of this endangered species and a chance to contribute to their conservation. Tourism plays a crucial role in funding the protection of their habitat and the ongoing efforts to ensure their survival for generations to come.

Why Uganda? My research led me to decide between Rwanda and Uganda. Of the two, Rwanda is the more popular country for trekking. They have invested more in tourism infrastructure, making it relatively easy for travelers to access the park, obtain permits, and engage in gorilla trekking. As a result, it is also the most crowded place to trek.

The pros for Uganda were that it’s home to about half of the remaining mountain gorillas. This makes the rainforest we trekked a critical sanctuary for the survival of these majestic creatures. It draws fewer people and is a little less expensive. For these reasons, we chose Uganda. (During this trip, I traveled with my sister and her boyfriend. It is a perfect experience to make unforgettable memories with friends and family.)

Nestled in southwestern Uganda is the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. This rainforest’s name reflects its thick vegetation and challenging terrain, making it difficult for humans to access and explore. That’s where your expert guides come into play.

I travelled to Kenya on a volunteer experience for 2 weeks and worked at an orphanage, but while I was there I was able to travel and experience so much of the culture. 4 of the days were spent doing travelling and experiencing Kenya

I lived there for 2 years but have been on multiple weekend trips to visit friends.

Our daughter was study abroad for the semester and spending the last part of her trip in London. We went over the pond to spend Thanksgiving with her. While not the traditional way to spend the American holiday, we still manage to get caught up in the holiday spirit and London was an incredible place to be this time of year!

I travelled with some friends that i was studying abroad with for a trip to Morocco! We went on an organized trip, as at the time, that was a safer option and fairly cheap to do from Spain!

In the first semester of 2021, I was feeling very frustrated with experiences I had been through and the life I was building in Thailand, where I used to live, and I was thinking it was time to leave, and probably to go back home. I was locked up in hospital because I got COVID, it was mandatory to stay there for 14 days, and believe me, that was such a hard time for me. I was in the other side of the World, missing my family and everyone I loved, and literally could count on no one in that situation, because everyone was just scared of the virus and even blaming me for being sick (yea, crazy, right?)
And someday during that 14 days, a friend of mine that also lived in Thailand called me and told me he wanted to go to Egypt, and asked me if I wanted to join him for a couple of weeks and explore the whole country. I actually had never thought about traveling to Egypt in that time of my life, but I instantaneously accepted the invitation. That would be an incredible adventure, and why not going with a friend to make things easier. I needed that, I needed something new.

Malawi attained its independence from Britain in 64’ but the men behind that independence still remain a figment of history. These are drivers who toiled to ensure freedom and liberty existed for Malawian people. On top of the list is the first prime minister of Nyasaland, and the first life president of the republic, Hastings Kamuzu Banda, who is also rumored to have been crushing with the late queen Elizabeth II.

Paying homage to his final resting place seemed a good idea. A very beautiful final space next to the Parliament and the eye catching Presidents hotel.

Spent the whole day indoors, in bed, bored. Had nothing exciting at all, till when I decided to check my twitter that I saw my favorite artist was performing tonight at a spot I didn’t know of. Issabel King at Bumpy Road brewing at Area 10 in Lilongwe.

So I followed the pin to the place, and hooray, a beer brewing place. I haven’t had as much fun as tonight.

Every long weekend, I am looking for cheap flights and a quick getaway. So when the capital of Morocco, Rabat, popped up on my Google Flights, I was instantly sold - I even managed to get a group of friends to tag along!

I traveled to Morocco as part of my solo journey around the world. It had always been a destination I was curious about, even though many people told me it could be dangerous. I wanted to see it with my own eyes and form my own opinion and I ended up being truly surprised by the experience.

I traveled to Marrakech for the second time, as Morocco is a country I really enjoy visiting. This time, I came with my boyfriend, which made the trip even more special. We spent a few days exploring Marrakech before continuing our journey towards the coast, where we planned to spend the rest of our trip.

I’ve always been really curious about Morocco and wanted to see the desert.
