Hi there! The city of New Orleans just celebrated Mardi Gras, a huge street party that reminds me of the Christmas carnival we have in Calabar, Nigeria. I visited New Orleans a few weeks before Mardi Gras, but even then the city was ready with decorations in the green, purple and yellow colors that are synonymousContinue reading “Eating Through NOLA: Part 2”

From New Orleans, With Love…
It was still dark when my eyes opened, and my brain registered the blaring sound of my alarm. My phone screen read 3:50 am, the last of four alarms I had set two hours before to prevent the disaster that would be missing the flight to New Orleans. I had never missed a flight (byContinue reading “From New Orleans, With Love…”
Wanderlust Wednesday #15
Hello there! I haven’t written one of these in a while but I felt inspired to pen one today. Since my last #WanderlustWednesday post, I’ve added a few destinations to the never ending travel list and this group of islands is one of them. Never mind that there’s currently $300 in travel credit available forContinue reading “Wanderlust Wednesday #15”
Chasing waterfalls
Hi there! Another week, another memory shared with you. Over the holidays, my friends, family and I took a trip to one of Calabar’s forgotten gems – Kwa Falls. Calabar is the capital of Cross River State, Nigeria. It’s a coastal city located in the southern part of the country where my family lives. IContinue reading “Chasing waterfalls”

Now, a country I never thought to visit is sitting comfortably on my travel list. This is why I blog and why IContinue reading “13 hours in Doha, Qatar”
5 hours in Madrid, Spain
Hi there, Happy New Year! I’m back and I’m not going to pretend like I never left. Taking this hiatus was three things: difficult, necessary and unplanned. I hope that your holidays were peaceful and that the rest of your year is even more so. On my way back to the United States from Nigeria,Continue reading “5 hours in Madrid, Spain”
Miami, Florida : An introvert’s guide to South Beach.
There are two kinds of beach-goers. The kind who like a shaded, quiet area to read or sleep under, and the kind who come with 20 friends, a Bluetooth speaker, and brown paper bags. Both are there to have a good time, they just have different definitions of what that is. I lean heavily toContinue reading “Miami, Florida : An introvert’s guide to South Beach.”
Wanderlust Wednesday #14
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by again this week. I honestly cannot believe I’ve been blogging for about 4 months now. Consistently too, considering the fact that school would like to suck my life away. It’s definitely been a long time coming (I know most people say this, but it’s TRUE) and I can’t waitContinue reading “Wanderlust Wednesday #14”
A secret affair : Ciro’s Speakeasy
Hi there, If you’re in the U.S or Puerto Rico (now I want to be back in Puerto Rico, but I digress), I hope your Thanksgiving holiday was filled with love and laughter. I spent mine with my friends out in South Tampa. Photos here. Before we get on with this post, I want toContinue reading “A secret affair : Ciro’s Speakeasy”
Top of the Rock: Manhattan, NYC
Hi, & happy Friday, Each time I’m in NYC, I’m only around for a few days. However, I try to squeeze in as much as possible since there’s a lot to see. I’ve been coming here for years now and I think I’ve only just scratched the surface. On this trip, I had no plansContinue reading “Top of the Rock: Manhattan, NYC”
