Hi everyone! Today it’s time to tell you a little bit more about my favorite thing in the world: Wildlife photography! I get overly excited when I’m in the bush and I basically look like a complete nut job every time. I have learned a lot in the past year and I want to share […]
2017 is going to be a killer year! As I am heading to Southern Africa this February and to South-America this summer, I will probably get to cross quite a few of my list. Let’s see how many of these travel goals I accomplish this year. Swimming with Seals This is something that has been on […]
As always the list of things to do is endless, but some things just stand out. Here are some places to visit in Kenya and Tanzania! Me and a friend traveled around for 5 weeks. I’m sure there are still great things that we missed, but these are the things that should be on your […]
I always try to travel responsibly. Ethical travel is very important to me, but it’s not always easy to navigate around the issues of a country. Kenya and Tanzania are both poor nations, have endangered wildlife and vulnerable tribes. Its not always clear what is right and what is not. I did some research to […]

Budgeting is one of the less fun aspects of traveling. It is however a necessary part of the process. I’ll tell you what I spend in 5 weeks in Kenya and Tanzania so you know what to expect. One might think that Africa is pretty cheap. Or at least they would if they’ve never looked at safari’s. […]
Afraid of traveling to Africa? This post is for everyone that is afraid of taking that step to travel somewhere far away. I used to travel through Europe with my parents, but Africa was unknown territory. I was 14 and really excited to go to South-Africa with my mom. That was until I started hearing peoples reactions. My […]
My perspective on tribes changed several times during our trip. We saw a lot of Masai on the first part of our trip. Later on a friend who grew up in the Datoga tribe took us to meet his family. This experience changed my perspective again. I still find forcing education on tribes a difficult subject, but […]
Would you like to do a wildlife volunteer project? I decided I would do it in my gap year. Turns out, choosing a project isn’t that easy. During my research I found many projects that looked amazing, but a lot of them didn’t feel right. Although selfishly I would have loved to cuddle with lions, […]
