I could leave a long, lengthy caption but girl is tired... . I had a year that was beautifully unexpected in so many ways. I have no idea what 2020 holds but I’ve come to realise sometimes that is the beauty of life...not knowing. Have a truly lovely celebration into 2020! #the5to9traveller #topnine

‘𝕮𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖘𝖙 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕾𝖆𝖛𝖎𝖔𝖚𝖗 𝖜𝖆𝖘 𝖇𝖔𝖗𝖓’ . . In travel, I always need to catch myself to take in the moments. . This Sunday at church saw me take a moment to really listen to the lyrics of this carol as so beautifully sung by @official_mateus . To take in the moment of the reason for Christmas and to learn about the meaning of Christmas cheer from a Christian perspective . And just as this song touched me and made me pause, I hope over Christmas you get time to take in the moments with family and friends. . Merry Christmas to you all!x #mymoments #silentnight #christmascarols

[NEW BLOG POST] . We are often looking for where home is; what’s our next step in life? . What if you’ve defined what home is to you but its always being questioned because of the colour of your skin? Up on the blog (link in bio) I share my migration story and what I have felt growing up British Nigerian. I would love to hear (if you have one) your migration story and where home is to you. Let me know in the comments or on my blog. #mymigrationstory #the5to9traveller

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
