Hello ‘Dam, Hello Bike!

September 30, 2017

Amsterdam – the city of approximately 850,000 bikes so of course I had to explore this city using this popular mode of transport! Now considering I am scared of cycling alongside traffic this was a BIG DEAL for me and certainly pushed me out of my comfort zone.  Despite living in Oxford for 3 years … More Hello ‘Dam, Hello Bike!

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.

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.

[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
