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.

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

[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 world’ and take in the history of the silver mines of Cerro Rico.
