My Year Of Travel: 2019

My Year Of Travel: 2019

December was a crazy busy month for me, so I never got a chance to really reflect on 2019.

If you asked me to describe 2019 in word, I would probably say “mehhhh”. But when I really think about it, yes there were many lows, but there were also many highs.

Just to name a few achievements (which I still can’t believe myself), in 2019, I had my first two press trips, worked with quite a few brands and successfully organised my first event for my other platform Black Travel Creators (check us out on Twitter and Instagram).

I’m also blessed to have been able to travel a few times last year. I revisited a few countries I had previously been to and I was able to cross off a few countries off my travel bucket list.

Here is my year of travel for 2019:

My Birthday Solo Trip Was Everything

My Birthday Solo Trip Was Everything

A birthday solo trip? Is that even a thing?

Wouldn’t it be boring and lonely to celebrate your birthday alone?

Maybe. ?????

But what if it is freeing or empowering? And, what if making my own needs the priority, is exactly what I need?

There’s really no way to find out if something is for you without trying it at least once. So that’s what I did.

My Birthday Self-photography Shoot In Portugal

This time last week, I celebrated my birthday in Portugal on a solo trip.

A few years ago, when I first started solo travelling, I kind of gave up on the idea of getting any good pictures of myself while travelling. I’m hella shy and awkward, so I’m not really a fan of asking a stranger to take a picture for me. And the few times I did, let’s just say that you won’t be seeing the pictures.

Fortunately for me, I met bae (AKA my tripod) and since then my photography game has been upgraded.

My first solo trip of 2018: Lisbon

Natas, sangria, street art and stunning architecture. These are just a few reasons why anyone would fall in love with Lisbon.

I’ve been obsessed with Lisbon since I’d seen my fellow blogger, Maya’s beautiful pictures and vlog (check out her blog).

So when I saw that Ryanair was doing deals, there was no hesitation at all and at the end of January/beginning of February, I finally got to cross Lisbon off my bucket list!

So, did Lisbon live up to my expectations? Hell to the yes!

My unexpected solo trip to South-East Asia

Hey Wanderlusters!

So 2017, was definitely a year that I really challenged myself and forced myself to get out of my comfort zone.

I solo travelled for the first time in January 2017 and I have now been to seven countries on my lonesome.

Looking back now, I realise that I probably wouldn’t have tried solo travelling last year if it wasn’t for my goal to visit 25 countries before I turned 25 (check out the countries I visited and the pictures).
