Pushing the Bus In Kenyan Highlands
Africa holds my heart, and I cannot get enough of it. I was planning another trip for 2017, and friends wanted to come. Our third time in East Africa would be their first safari and voyage there. I selected a tour in Kenya that included two rescue places in Nairobi for October of that year.

An English Fairy Tale
I watch the tiny bubbles of my champagne race to the top of the delicate glass, the effervescence hypnotizing. I am perched on a stool in a First Class Lounge at the Seattle airport, surrounded by stiff businessman and wealthy middle aged ladies, only minutes away from boarding. I feel drastically out of place, with my oversize Top Gun sweatshirt and unwashed hair, and am reminded of Cinderella. Surely she must have experienced imposter syndrome at such a fancy ball surrounded by the rich and entitled, yet somehow she managed to pull it off. I catch a lady clad almost entirely in Chanel eyeing the holes in my sweatpants.

Rainy Days, Mondays, and the Best Brussels Experience
I traveled to Europe for the first time in the first week of December 2019 and stayed for about ten days. The first week was dedicated to professional work as a media person for a youth leadership conference (which you can read right here). This is important for context, because I never would have had the opportunity to travel to Europe without my writing.

Standing Together Through Tough Winds
The other passengers seemed unfazed by the unsteadiness of the air. While, my sister and I turned to each other and laughed, 'EasyJet'. At one time, the bumps in the journey would have frightened me. Even, I may have cried. Though, the reoccurring turbulence in those moments that we believed to have finally settled resembles the life that my sister and I live. All I know for sure is, as long as we have each other, there is not a thing we cannot survive.

A Simple Beauty
Lately, I have found myself longing to revisit the 24-hour trip to Paris that I experienced earlier this year. Celebrating a significant birthday, my twenty-first, I was vastly grateful to experience it in such an extravagant way. But, it wasnβt extravagant at all - that is what made it such an intimate memory.

Coffee and White Dresses
Oh God, miss you on my lips. It's me your little Venice bitch. The lyrics that ignited my sister and I's interest in visiting Venice. Granted the location Miss Del Rey sings about is in America, we assumed our efforts travelling to the Italian name-same would still be recognised. We said we will go this spring. Not too hot that we cannot explore the city. But, enough rays to reach our souls. The responsibilities of life burdened my sister and restricted her from being able to financially justify this dream. Luckily for her, I am not so responsible. I sat her down at our local pub and told her that I had found the hotel and flight tickets - all she had to do was say yes. Of course, she said yes.

Leopard Portrait
I have visited the socialist country of Tanzania three times over the last twelve years. The last trip, in 2023, was the longest and most thrilling. Our tour director was the incredible Maasai tribesman Robert Marks. Born in the Ngorongoro Crater, his mother died in childbirth, and he was raised by missionaries. Rather than growing up as a goat herder in the Crater, Robert became a Tanzanian medical doctor and is employed by NatGeo as a professional wildlife photographer. He even appeared on the Jack Hannah show, an episode I've seen.

3 Less-Visited Colorado National Parks, Conquered In A Grand Swing
Youβve heard of Arches and Zion National Parks in Utah? Theyβre great, but crowded. Popular. Iβm the weirdo who's off exploring Utah's lesser-known Capitol Reef National Park instead.

The Last Days of Christopher McCandless: A Journey of no return
Christopher McCandless, a young man with a restless spirit and a deep yearning for adventure, set off on an odyssey into the Alaskan wilderness in 1992. His quest for a life of simplicity and self-reliance ended in tragedy, but his story, immortalized in Jon Krakauer's book "Into the Wild" and its film adaptation, continues to resonate deeply with those who dream of escaping the confines of modern society to seek a more authentic existence.

The Ancestral Trail
It all started with a phone call from one of our relatives in Norway inviting us to visit them in 2014. It ended up expanding to both sides of my husband's families located in Bergen and the other in Trondheim with a stay in between at the family home located centrally in the western fjords.
