Seeing the colonial architecture in the center of Lima was a great change of pace after being in the touristy district of Miraflores. The plaza is called Plaza De Mayor and this is one of the main plazas in the central part of Lima. I love architecture and I walked around the entire day marveling at […]
My View Of Machu Pichu, Peru
Macchu Picchu is one of those places that you can’t describe. A picture is always worth 1000 words, seeing Macchu Picchu in real life will leave you speechless. This place is truly incredible and when you climb the mountain that you see in this picture, Wayna Picchu, the views get even more surreal. Macchu Picchu […]
Addis Ababa is the Flourishing Capital of Africa
I decided that it was time to do something different with my travels and there aren’t too many destinations in the world like Africa. I decided to take my talents to Kenya and move into a Somali neighborhood called South C just outside the city limits if Nairobi. My first trip outside of Kenya was […]
When A First Love Is Tainted
It happens to all of us, the first love. A first love can be as swift as a rose grows or as difficult as the thorn that it bears. The first love, in some cases, is often complicated and complex. This was not the case of my first, her name was Medellin and it was […]
Getting To Know The Beautiful People Of Somaliland
I’m not talking about physical beauty although there is a lot said about the beauty of the women in Somaliland (sorry ladies, you will have to judge the men on your own). I am talking about getting to really know the people of a territory that is dying to be proclaimed their own nation. The […]

Christ The Redeemer Statue At Sunset: Rio De Janeiro
I think it is a disservice that I have been living in Rio De Janeiro for nearly two months and I just now visited the Christ The Redeemer statue. Getting there was no issue and it was quite interesting to see different people living on the actual mountain as we climbed in the trolley. The […]
Getting Acclimated To Life In Rio de Janeiro
Life in Rio De Janeiro hasn’t been the same since I arrived in the largest country in South America. I would beg to mention something else that was very big that I found on the beaches of city but I will refrain from frightened the kiddos. It reminded me of many places I visited around […]
Ipanema Beach: Rio De Janeiro
Nothing says Rio De Janeiro like Ipanema beach! I always follow the locals in any city that I travel to and when I heard that Copacabana is the last place I want to be when it comes to beaches I was surely surprised. The beaches of Copacabana have turned dirty and filled with souvenir hustlers. […]
