helping you explore the world
If you're planning a trip to Cape Town and want to stay within your budget, you should book hostels for your accommodation. After staying at least 50+ hostels over the past few years of travel and exploring most of the Cape Town hostels, you could say I'm somewhat of an expert now. I'm here to [...]
Digital nomad visas seem to be all the hype these days. So many people (myself included), left their 9-5s behind during the pandemic and have opted for a remote work lifestyle. I've been working remotely for the past 9 months and have just been using tourist visas as I move from place to place. BUT [...]
If you're planning a trip to Egypt, you may wonder what to bring. As a budget backpacker who landed in Cairo on a whim (with very few clothing options), I can tell you exactly what to wear in Egypt as a woman. This blog has two separate packing lists. The first one will be for [...]
If you're thinking about gorilla trekking in Uganda, you're in the right place!

I did my first volunteering trip in Uganda recently and knew it was inevitable I’d receive ‘white savior’ comments and hate as I shared my experience. This brought up a lot of different feelings and thoughts as I tried to navigate volunteering without being a part of the white savior trope. Was it even possible? [...]
With summer on the horizon, there's no better time to go hunting for the best places to watch a sunset in Toronto! After spending most of the pandemic living downtown Toronto, I had plenty of time (and long walks) to find the best sunset spots. Whether you're a Toronto native or just visiting, you're bound [...]
Making friends as an adult isn't always easy and it can be especially nerve-wracking if you travel solo! If you're looking to meet people while travelling but aren't quite sure where to start, you're in the right place.
