In less than 30 minutes of arriving at Singapore’s airport -Singapore Changi Airport – I was already halfway in love with the country.
Those first 30 minutes in a new country can tell you so much about a country and it’s people. Within that short time frame, I was made to feel very welcomed. The airport staff were very friendly and helpful and there was none of those fake smiles or half-hearted greetings.
In an ideal world, you’d meet a hot local on your travels, who not only wants to show you around their hometown, but who also turns out to be a talented photographer and wants to help you get them Instagram worthy shots.
Well in reality, there isn’t a hot local turned photographer, or maybe I’m just not that lucky lol. In my experience, there is just me and my camera.
This, however, does not mean you can’t get them Instagram worthy pictures on your solo trip. Quite a number of my favourite travel pictures, are pictures that I took while solo travelling.

Welcome to the third entry in the Black Girl Travel Diaries!
If you haven’t read the first two entries about my trips to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia and Gran Canaria, Spain, be sure to check them out.
This entry is about my trip to Marrakech in January, I decided to shake things up a little bit and instead of the usual blog post, this entry is a vlog. So get yourself a cup of tea and some biscuits and enjoy!
In a few days, it will be a year since my trip to Gran Canaria. You’re probably wondering why I’m only now writing about something that happened a year ago, but this post has been in my draft posts since I returned from this trip. I’ve been writing this post on and off over the last few months.
In January, I embarked on my first solo trip; I can now tick solo travel off my birthday bucket list!! ?
I visited Porto which is known for it’s port wine and bridges. A blog post and vlog are currently in the pipelines… I look forward to sharing my first experience of solo travel with you all (the first of many solo trips)!
