Happy Travel Tuesday! Just came here to tell you Happy Travel Tuesday!

Just came here to tell you how excited I am about the upcoming trip @blacktrottersafrika will be hosting to Kenya and Zanzibar. 

As you may know, Zanzibar is one of my all time favorite destinations. I spent my 30th birthday there and vowed to come back and explore more (because 9 days just wasn't enough🙈). Well, BlackTrotters Afrika will be making all of that possible. 

I can't wait to soak my feet in the soft white sand and stuff my face with the freshest, tastiest sea food I've ever had. 

Add to that a new destination, KENYA! What more could a girl ask for? 

Check out @blacktrottersafrika page for more information on this trip and upcoming one. 

My passport has been gathering dust since the pandemic so she is ready for some stamps and new adventures. 
Ke ready! Whose coming with?

Social Media Detox ____ Decided to take a much ne Social Media Detox

____
Decided to take a much needed social media hiatus and it has done wonders for me. 
I had found myself spending countless hours scrolling mindlessly through the socials, not being present and neglecting my mental health. I would go through my phone first thing in the morning and before bed every night. I was too absorbed and needed to detach.

____
All I can say is it's been a great month of self care, productivity and spiritual maintenance. Just what I needed. 

____
All that is missing is a bush break experience with @blacktrottersafrika for some nature time and rejuvenation. Did me wonders the last time.  Whose with me?

Had an amazing weekend getaway to #Mpumalanga and can I just say that I am ready to go back! This province is so beautiful, filled with so many gems and gorgeous waterfalls like this one.

____
How gorgeous is this view of the #Lisbonfalls !
Also, what better way to have this experience than with the @blacktrottersafrika squad!

Brace yourself as I will be spamming my feed this week with the weekend's lush content. So excited to share it all with you.

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. 
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

One of my favourite places to be is in nature. I love how she always reminds me to be calm, still, take in the moment and be grateful. I never miss an opportunity to spend some time in nature. 

So when one of the activities offered by @glampingadventuresza was a guided morning walk in the nature reserve, I had to jump on it. What a beautiful experience it was; walking in the midst of wild animals and taking in the amazing views from the top of this very rock. 

These are the travel experiences I live for.

___
Just got back from my first ever weekend glamping experience hosted by @glampingadventuresza and let me just say I'm excited and looking forward to the next one with them. 

___
Being a newbie to glamping this worked out perfectly because everything was catered for and I had nothing to worry about. All I had to do was get myself there and enjoy the fun filled weekend. 

___
So excited to share more of this experience with you guys in the week. 

Have you ever been glamping? If not, would you go on a weekend glamping experience?

Flash back to an amazing helicopter ride experien Flash back to an amazing helicopter ride experience over #Kauai with @safarihelicopters. 

____
Kauai is Hawaii's fourth largest Island, nicknamed the 'Garden Island' due to its lush tropical rainforest covering most of the island. 

We got to fly  over the 'Grand Canyon of the Pacific', the Waimea Canyon and got close and personal to beautiful remote waterfalls.

____
Kauai is also a Hollywood film maker's dream location with many popular movies having been filmed there; one even breaking box office records - 'Avatar'. 

____
Can you name a few movies you know have been filmed on Kauai?

Took this picture in Paje last year on a solo birthday vacation.

Known for its beautiful white sand beaches that you can walk almost a km to reach its warm waters at low tide, #Paje is a dream. It is also perfect for kitesurfers with consistent winds almost all year around.

It took me three years and some to eventually put it out there. It didn't have to take this long but I had my reasons, some filled with excuses which lead to procrastinating. A three year procrastination🙃! For the most part it was because I wasn't confident enough or it just wasn't perfect (fear disguised as being a perfectionist) enough. But hey, I eventually snapped out of it and pushed the button.

Super excited to share with you some of my amazing travel experiences, my life on ships for the seven years that I worked on cruises and more. Please CLICK THE LINK in my bio and show some love.
