I had a long layover in Seattle and wanted to get out and explore.

When we started planning our honeymoon, we knew we wanted something intimate, scenic, and full of memories we’d carry forever. Waterton Lakes National Park sounded like the perfect spot—and let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint. Every day felt like stepping into a dreamy postcard.

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.

I traveled to Turkey for something deeper than just sightseeing — I went to reconnect. Months earlier, during an Erasmus program in Bansko, I met a wonderful group of Turkish friends who instantly made me feel welcome, understood, and supported. Our connection was effortless, and when they invited me to visit them in Ankara, I knew I had to go.

I traveled to Turkey because I wanted to experience their culture through their eyes — the food they love, the places they cherish, the everyday life they wanted to share with me. It wasn’t about checking tourist attractions off a list; it was about friendship, hospitality, and seeing a country in the most authentic way possible.

I also wanted a change of scenery — a burst of color, warmth, and adventure after months of routine. Turkey offered all of that. From the vibrant bazaars and beautiful parks to the spontaneous nights filled with music and laughter, I found myself absorbing every moment.

Most of all, I traveled to Turkey because I knew it would be meaningful. And it was. It turned into a trip filled with unforgettable memories, delicious food, heartfelt conversations, and the kind of cultural richness that stays with you long after you return home.

We discovered Philly due to a soccer game that my husband was excited to attend. It was a very quick trip, but we loved the city (and probably will come back soon).

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.

I chose this trip because it was an easy place for my close friends to meet up, especially since some of them were living in South Korea at the time. It was the perfect destination to explore together and spend quality time as a group.

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.
