[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 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
