25 Africa safari myths and misconceptions
25 Africa safari myths and misconceptions 1.

I wonder, "where can the extraterrestrials in my galaxy partake in the power of freedom that comes with a lighthearted pace, fresh food and nightly cool breezes that balances the heat from a long summer day?"

This place would allow a “lovecation”, an optimum environment for renewing connections.

Madagascar beckoning...
Our root is our power. Remembering to go back to places that anchor us is medicine for the soul. Madagascar represents that for me. Acknowledging this part of my identity gives meaning to the many layers of my being, which I have for a long while left dormant and even forgotten about. Luckily through my inward journey, I discovered the POWER that lays in acknowledging all parts of oneself without minimizing any. Wholeness comes from that acknowledgment and by giving permission to self to embark on that voyage there is so much self-discovery that takes place and I feel that it would be a shame not to experience that in the name of “comfort” and remain in known territories.

First Night in Marrakesh
After a long day of traveling to Marrakesh, we decided to go find some dinner. We turned the quiet corner near our hostel and walked into a bustling, local market. All along the street vendors were lined up selling vegetables and spices, the narrow street was full of mothers pulling along their small children, young men on bikes, and older women shopping to make dinner. I was so excited to be in this place, but just walking down the street bordered on sensory overload.
