I’ve been home for almost three months now. All is well (as I say that with a little sigh). I’m more than ready to return to my temporary home across the Pacific but, I made a different choice. I chose myself. My mind was yelling at me to go back, but physically and mentally, I’mContinue reading “I CHOOSE ME.”

We can all agree that the year 2020 has been….interesting. These first three months of the new year has showed us that the world is changing and it will never be the same. Unfortunately, this affected me and my travels, it was a sudden change for me, but I’m making the best of it. I’veContinue reading “MOVING ON WHILE QUARANTINED.”

Going to the South is always a breath of fresh air in a way. I always feel overwhelmed, thinking of what my life could’ve been, if I was going to be the same person (thoughts like that). Summer 2016 was adventurous. I explored, and worked in the lovely city of New Orleans (Louisiana). All ofContinue reading “Down South….”

TRAVELING THE WORLD HAS BEEN MY ONE AND ONLY LIFETIME GOAL. AS A KID, I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE WORLD, THE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, CUSTOMS, CELEBRATIONS ETC. LIKE MANY OF US, I WAS ASKED, “WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?” FIRST, I WANTED TO BE A TEACHER, THEN AN ASTRONAUT, A RAPPER,Continue reading “PASSION…LET’S GO!”

I’m forced to make a real ADULT decision: a decision that can possibly take my life in a different position. These type of decisions are the absolute worst. Life comes at you, sometimes unexpectedly. Here’s what has been happening.Continue reading “SHOOK JOURNEY.”

I always had an interest in traveling….nothing else….just traveling, visiting other countries. When I began traveling, I knew I was just hungry for more traveling. Unfortunately, most of my travels have been through school or work, very few leisure travels (abroad). I began to observe why I haven’t been going to the many places I’veContinue reading “PASSION…DO YOU HAVE IT?”

I Love Fruit! When I think of fruit, I immediately think of all of the exotic fruits all over the world that I have yet to try. I’ve been looking up different fruits and learning about their benefits. Asia has many exotic fruits, they’re sold at a good price, and easily accessible. Thanks to theContinue reading “DURIAN SEASON.”

There’s a six year gap between my two trips to South Africa, 2009 then again in 2015. Both trips were similar yet different (If that makes any sense). I went with my school both times: high school then graduate school. In high school,the trip was community service related, while in graduate school, we studied Post-ApartheidContinue reading “10 YEARS AGO, I WENT HOME (3)”

I was in awe during my entire trip in South Africa. This trip was full of “firsts” for me. It was my first passport stamp, first flight, and another first, one that I didn’t expect nor will I forget.Let’s fast forward to a few days into the trip. On this specific day, we spent theContinue reading “10 YEARS AGO, I WENT HOME. (2)”
