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 wasn’t 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.

The Wild Depths. Runner-up in Travel Snaps Challenge. Content Warning.
I have always been a traveler, a wanderer and a wonderer, a risk-taker. Though I have traveled extensively and even lived in both Africa and Europe, Jackson Hole, Wyoming hit a chord within my soul that will never be silenced.

Whitby Abbey
Whisps of thick fog curled around my boots as I approached the base of the hill. The early morning sun did little to help with the visibility around my current surroundings. Veritably, I was left with my own sense of orientation and the landmark erected above serving as my compass.

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
You’ve heard of Arches and Zion National Parks in Utah? They’re great, but crowded. Popular. I’m 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.
