Africa… There’s nowhere like it on the planet for wildlife, wild lands and rich traditions that endure. Prepare to fall in love.
Most people, including myself (who travels full time) have tons of questions about traveling to Kenya, with no clue where to start. Luckily I am here as your travel guinea pig, to research what I can, test it out, and see what it’s really like, and what you need to have an awesome, safe, trip! I decided to go to Kenya last minute for a solo safari, which means...
Wondering what to pack for a Kenya safari? Here you’ll find the essentials from what to wear to gear to use for photos! You’ll also find the items you’ll need when you’re not out on safari, like those chilly camping nights! A quick note that my luggage got lost in transit and I didn’t have most of my items, but these are things I saw and...
Has a Kenya safari been on your bucketlist since you first ever watched the Lion King? It was for me too. Finally, I did it, and it was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had! But I had a few concerns that are probably similar to yours about going. Namely, how in the heck to even do it! All I’d ever seen posted about Kenya safaris were expensive lodges with...
I’ve done a lot of crazy travel adventures, but recently I leapt the farthest out of my comfort zone when I opted in for a charity roadtrip across southern Africa. I’m not talking just South Africa, I’m talking FIVE countries that we drove across, stopping to camp, sightsee, and donate shoes to children along the way. The name of this magical adventure, is Put Foot...
You’ve seen the photos of the famous “Blue City” in Morocco, formally known as Chefchaouen, but how in the hell do you get there? This was my major question when I randomly decided to plan a solo trip to Morocco, and I didn’t have a ton of luck finding information online. I also had no clue what most posts were talking about with buses and...
If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you’re interested in traveling to Morocco, but are worried because you’ve heard it’s dangerous, especially for solo travel and even more especially for women. You’ve probably heard the men there treat women like shit, maybe even that they spit at them and harass them nonstop, so...
After deciding last minute to finally travel solo to Morocco, I scurried about frantically trying to figure out how to plan my route. I’m not going to lie, I was a bit worried about going there alone due to the numerous negative things I heard about people who had been before, and also frustrated that I couldn’t figure out how to find those Instagram-worthy Riads...
Namibia is a country that I never knew was so adventurous and stunning until I spent a week roadtripping its entire height. It was the first country of five of my three-week roadtrip with Put Foot Rally; an insanely awesome event that gathers travelers from all over, and sends them on a self-guided route in all sorts of vehicles. The goal is to see as much as the...
I’ve been to sixty-six countries so far, and I will easily admit that seeing wild animals in their natural habitats has not been common, until I came to Botswana. I’ve seen elephants in Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, South Africa, and recently Namibia, but always either on a reserve or being used by locals for work. As I write this in the front seat of the truck we’re...
When I first decided that I wanted to go volunteer in Africa, I researched a TON of volunteer programs, and finally found one that not only sounded amazing, but affordable and legitimate as well. I had never heard of the town called Muizenberg where the IVHQ volunteer program took place in South Africa, so had to do some research to see where exactly it was, and what...
