[NEW BLOG POST] . . I love captures like this, of lonesome figures against a vivid landscape as a backdrop. This one is of a mine and after telling a friend I tend to avoid people in my photos I’m beginning to wonder why I do. I guess I find it difficult for a emotion to be conveyed. . Find out what inspired me to take a tour of the city of Potosí in Bolivia once the ‘richest in the workd’ and take in the history of the silver mines of Cerro Rico. Link in the bio. . #the5to9traveller #Potosí #bolivia🇧🇴 #everydaylatinamerica #visitbolivia #aglimpseinthelifeof #CerroRico #silvermines #sudamerica #mytraveldiary #vividcaptures #inspiringtravel #explorebolivia #lessonsfromtheworld #frommylens #seetheunseen #exploresouthamerica #blkcreatives #traveltuesdays #discoversouthamerica

[NEW BLOG POST] . Hola mi amigos! Since taking myself off to Ecuador to have an immersive learning experience I have had a ton of questions asking what, how, why etc from people who have wanted to do similar things so I decided I’d share it all in a blog post. I talk about my wonderful school @institutosuperiordeespanol in beautiful Quito. Check it out and if you are thinking about it then you are already half way there to knowing you will do it! The rest is execution. . Engage, comment and feel free to ask questions even if its not a language you want to learn abroad. I have a whole host of peeps in my #traveltribe I can connect ya with! . . . . . . . . . . #the5to9traveller #immersivelearning #discoversouthamerica #immersivetravel #spanishclass #lovelearning #visitecuador #quitoecuador #learnspanish #learnandtravel #spanishschool #dreamsfulfilled #seekandfind #blackcreatives #traveltheworldwithme #sudamerica #ecuadoramalavida #adventureismysidehustle #blacktravelfeed

[NEW BLOG POST] Been a minute I know, but been having too much fun on this adventure! If you want a weekly update of my South American travels follow my facebook page of the same name 😊 Anyway up on the blog is five things to do to get to know Quito, Ecuador’s capital city. Five things I talk about correlating to my pics are 1. Exploring the historical centre, 2. Visiting La Ronda at night where I got to have a boogie 3. Climbing the magnificent Basílica de Voto Nacional towers 4. Picking up artisanal goodies at the local market and 5. Visiting the tallest aluminium statute in the world. . Link is in the bio! If you’ve never thought about visiting Ecuador before do! And make Quito your gateway into this splendid land! . . . . . . . . . . #the5to9traveller #quitoecuador #ecuador🇪🇨 #discoversouthamerica #seetheworldwithme #sudamerica #cornersofmyworld #mytraveldiary #blacktravelblogger #ecuadoramalavida #visitaquito #visitecuador #slowtravel #travelinladies #blkcreatives #travelandlearn #bestplacestogo #seekandfind #everydaylatinamerica #whereintheworld

THE IMPORTANCE OF SEIZING THE MOMENT So I went to visit this beauty 😍 Stunning right? We hiked down to get a closer look and me being me wanted to dip my feet in. I almost talked myself out of it cos no one was doing it, my Danish bro was like ‘nah don’t do it’ and I even said I’ll do it later and then I was like why? JUST DO IT NOW. And that’s the shot you see me smiling as I dip my feet in. Within 5 mins the weather changed drastically as I put my shoes back on (swipe along) That shot of me smiling with my feet in this beautiful crater lake would not be in existence. Not a big deal you might say but if I hadn’t seized that moment of just doing it then and there I wouldn’t have got my dip. I like when I learn simple lessons on my travels or have them reinforced. What lessons have you learnt on travels? . P.s. I got stone cold drenched that rain did not let up!! . . . . . . . . . . . . #the5to9traveller #lessonsfromtheworld #discoversouthamerica #seizethemoment #mytraveldiary #girlvsglobe #travelinladies #quilotoa #ecuador🇪🇨 #craterlake #visitecuador #ecuadoramalavida #cornersofmyworld #slowtravel #sudamerica #blackgirltravel #passionpassport #blacktravelfeed #momentsofmylife #girlsborntotravel

’We are all creatures of comfort’ . I have enjoyed my time in Quito immensely. It has begun to feel like home as I walk the streets to school and the lady I’ve passed several times over the month recognises me, smiles & says ‘Buenos dias.’ I have begun to wander aimlessly not afraid of being lost much like I do in London. I even found my way to my dance class without the need of my Google maps. 💪🏾I knew choosing Quito would be the best place for me, being a city girl myself. I love the historical architecture, the beautiful churches, the street food (pincho is my favourite) and the fact the Virgin Mary sits overlooking the city. I will certainly miss this place. I could easily stay on in Quito but that would be the easy option, its time for the next challenge (armed with my baby Spanish) . I will always have a soft spot for you Quito 💕 P.s I still plan to post about Quito, it deserves the spotlight. . . . . . . . . . . #the5to9traveller #quitoecuardor #discoversouthamerica #sudamerica #visitecuador #girlvsglobe #quitocity #afrolatina #homeawayfromhome #mytraveldiary #ecuadorturistico #cornersofmyworld #slowtravel #travelwithpassion #mytraveldiary #travelnoire #newdestinations #ecuador🇪🇨 #placestosee #travelinladies
