ᴄʜᴀʟʟᴇɴɢᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀsᴇʟf! Not all challenges you take on have to be global. . So I hate long distance running. When people have asked me to run a 5K I’m like 😳 nope! I used to run cross country competitively as a teen but stopped when a PE teacher thoroughly berated me for placing poorly in my time as I had stopped to help a friend having an asthma attack on the road. I decided I wanted no part in this anymore if winning placed higher than health and I have not run since until.... . This charity #SantaFunRun to raise money for @farleighhospice who do amazing work looking after people with life limiting illnesses. I figured how can I challenge myself to run? By dressing up as Santa of course! . And I did it without stopping! Me, who has not run except for perhaps a bus since my teens! Its never too late to pick up old things and I’m happy this was for a worthy cause. You can still donate...link is in my bio. #the5to9traveller #FarleighSantas #newchallenges . P.s. thanks to the parentals for cheering me on!

[NEW BLOG POST] Girl on an Adventure in the beautiful Peruvian Andes of the Vilcabamba mountain range enroute to the famous Machu Picchu 😍 . . Travelling for me is a collection of interactions, memories and learning about the world around me. As a child I was an avid reader of The Famous Five by Enid Blyton, who were always exploring and I was always on the hunt to find something new on the estate I grew up in. . . Fast forward a few decades later and I still have that explorer buzz but its gone global through my travels. . ‘Travel is an avenue of your passion’ - find out what mine is on my blog, (if you haven’t already guessed) . . So what’s your passion? Let me know below in the comments👇🏾 #the5to9traveller #girlonanadventure #adventureismysidehustle

ᴛᴀʟᴇs of ᴀ ʜɪᴋᴇʀ . My last hike this year was of the Colca Canyon in Peru, the second deepest canyon in the world. The views were amazing but... . I had food poisoning and I discovered this during the hike. This is me,smiling at the end. I survived 💪🏾despite extensive fluid loss. Inside I am screaming I need my bed!! #ThickThighs really do save lives cos Lord knows that is what kept me going! I told myself it will be a LONG TIME before I hike again. Fast forward 3 months and I’m back in my (new) hiking boots again as I head up north to Derbyshire with #BritishMountaineeringCouncil @teambmc on a Outdoor Weekend for BAME adventurers...bring it on!! . . . . . . . . . . . . #revitalised #the5to9traveller #exploreyourdoorstep #sayyestoadventures #hikersofinstagram #talesofatraveller #getoutsidemore #adventureismysidehustle #diversifyoutdoors #blackgirlstrekkin #blackgirlshike #adventureislife #colcacanyon #visitperu #discoversouthamerica #BHM #unlikelyhikers #blackcreatives

Not every day #hikergirl with my big old boots, headband n rucksack...sometimes its for the culture with #gele & #asoebistyles. . Catch me styling it up at a Nigerian wedding. The best way to experience Nigerian culture is get yourself (or gatecrash) to a Nigerian wedding...there is nothing like it! . Happy Nigerian Independence Day my Naija peeps! 🇳🇬🇳🇬 Check out my photo essay exploring Nigeria (link in bio) #the5to9traveller #nigerianindependence

[NEW BLOG POST] Potosí was once the richest country in the world where the first global currency was birthed. At one point in time it made the coins for the entire Spanish Empire. But what is Potosí like now? What is there to do/see? Check out what I got up to when I visited; its on many backpackers trails. . . . . . . . . . . #the5to9traveller #exploringalternatives #bolivia🇧🇴 #discoversouthamerica #potosi #everydaylatinamerica #sudamerica #globalcurrency #exploresouthamerica #throughmylens #salteñas #traveltheworldwithme #blkcreatives #melaninblogger #citiesofsouthamerica #landscapecapture #travelandlearn

[NEW BLOG POST] A Picture is Worth a 1000 Words . . I love taking pictures! Always have even before the rise of Instagram. I was the kid who took her films to get developed & see what I captured. I have boxes of photos and negatives. Gone are those days and now I have excess iCloud storage space 🙈 as a result of my photos. And my love of adventure is not gonna slow that down. My latest post shares some travel stories from A to Z through my photography. Check it out, comment & engage. . . Snowdonia National Park is a beauty and I was certain to have my @sonyalpha 5000 snapping away at it. I can’t wait to gaze upon its beauty again. If you have visited its a UK must! 📸: @jmansworld on our hike to the Snowdon summit in Wales. Still one of my favourite hikes to date!!! . . . . . . . . . . #the5to9traveller #snowdon #visitwales #AtoZ #picturesworthathousandwords #discoverwales #mytraveldiary #adventureismysidehustle #sonya5000 #cornersofmyworld #agirlandherbackpack #essencetravel #blacktravelmovement #traveltribe #throughmylens #discoverunder100k #seekingtheoutdoors #topphotographer #melaninblogger #walesadventure
