For the last five Christmases my family and I go abroad to somewhere sunny and hot, this year we chose Cabo Verde (Cape Verde). We stayed at an all-inclusive TUI Sensimar Cabo Verde on the island of Sal. The hotel […]

I condensed my 6 months in Nairobi, Kenya, in a list of where to eat and what when it comes to restaurants and street food. I am guilty of indulging too much on non-Kenyan food as Nairobi is absolutely a […]

Travelling to South Africa and going on a safari has always been on my bucket list, and finally last week I fulfilled this. I went with a company called TSS travel, that organised the flights, hotels and route. I normally […]

Following our two-night stay in Nairobi, it was time to head eastward to Mombasa in order to reunite with dear friends we met in our Middle Eastern travels eight years prior. To reach the coastal port, the Madaraka Express runs […]

My vegan children have never been to a zoo or animal park. It was one of those parenting decisions that my husband and I made early and had no intent on renegotiating. From America to Asia, we politely decline seeing [...]

We went on a 9-day Egypt tour starting in Cairo, seeing the Pyramids, Sphinx, and going inside the pyramids! Then we travelled down to Aswan, High Aswan Dam, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Karnak, Temple of Hatshepsut, Luxor, Abu Simbel, Valley of [...]

David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is an elephant and rhino orphanage located inside Nairobi National Park. We had hoped that since our last visit 7 years ago they would no longer be needed, but due to the vile ivory industry, the […]

Kenya is most famously known for it’s national parks teeming with wildlife, with one of the most popular being Masai Mara. Our last visit together was 7 years ago, so we felt it was due time to return for another […]

From mountains, to rivers, and national parks, Ethiopia is a wonderful place for nature lovers.   With only a few days to explore, Cody and I were picked up by Abeba Ethiopian Tours early in the early morning for a […]

Diverse is a word that comes to mind when thinking of Ethiopia. Its international image of famine and dry desert is far from this authentic and varied country. Its complex culture, and long ties to Christianity, makes Ethiopia a fascinating […]

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to visit Egypt. It once seemed like an unattainable dream; another world far from my reach. This visit was my 6th, so dreams can be achieved. I fell in love with […]

The locals call her Umm ad-Dunya–The Mother of the World–but we know her as Cairo. She is busy, noisy, teeming with people and vehicles, and by the end of your visit you will be clearing your throat from the black […]

I am so extremely excited to say that, thanks to the new found consciousness in local Egyptians who care about their health and animals, Cairo has become incredibly easy to find vegan food! The last 3 times Cody and I […]

The great Pyramids of Giza, King Tutankhamun, Abu Simbel, Koshary, the streets buzzing with life, Luxor, feluccas on the river Nile, and Khan El-Khalili Bazaar. Just some of the reasons Egypt is a magical destination.   But Dahab is different. […]
