With Almaty now behind us, we traveled by bus to the southern border of Kazakhstan and crossed into Kyrgyzstan. For this particular border crossing you must take a bus to the border and then depart the bus to go through immigration. You can then choose to reboard the same bus on the other side of … Continue reading Bishkek, Karakol, and 3 day trek to Ala-Kul Lake
So we have done it again. Nate and I have quit our jobs and decided to be nomads for another year. This time around we looked at the world and decided to challenge our comfort zone and take on some pretty epic trekking, so we hope to share some unheard of and beautiful mountain ranges … Continue reading Almaty, Kazakhstan
This week I began at Etosha National Park on our final day. I woke up, had breakfast, and then went to the watering hole for one last look at the animals before we left the park. This would be our last game drive and I was a bit sad that we wouldn’t have any more. … Continue reading Swakopmund and Sossesvlei
We started this week in Dar es Salam and we had a really early start leaving at 4:30 am. We did this to avoid the traffic and also because this was going to be the longest drive of the entire trip. It was definitely the longest drive and I think we could all feel it. … Continue reading Kande Beach and Lake Malawi
My last post was getting too long so I split the day in half! After we exited the Serengeti, we drove for about an hour to a local Masai village to take a village tour. We arrived and the whole village was out singing and dancing awaiting our arrival. We got out of the truck … Continue reading Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar Island

The morning we left Kisoro, I woke up early with Kylie and Cole and we went for a … Continue reading Kigali Genocide Memorial and the Serengeti
After we left Jinja, we continued our time in Uganda by first stopping in the capital city of Kampala. Here, we again stopped at the supermarket. One of my only regrets about this trip is that any time we are in the city we are either in a campsite or a grocery store and I … Continue reading Queen Elizabeth and Trekking to the Mountain Gorillas
Week 2 in Africa was almost better than week 1! I’m sorry in advance because this is the longest post I have ever written, but this was an action-packed week and I want to share it all! After our first game drive to the Masai Mara, we drove on to Lake Naivasha. We drove all … Continue reading Navaisha, Nakuru, and Jinja
I have finally made it to Africa! I decided to do a group overland tour in Africa because I thought it might be harder to get around on my own. There is not a solid hostel system and public transport isn’t as easy. I went with a company called Absolute Africa and I think I … Continue reading Nairobi and the Masai Mara
This week I am going to do a post for 2 weeks because I was home for the 2 weeks and many of the days I was just chilling with my mom or shopping. I left Nate at the airport in Yangon and began an epic journey home. I had decided in February to come … Continue reading Week 36/37 – Home Again
