Never too old to be a student. Never too young to be a teacher. – unknown
Sometimes thinking twice is the right thing to do.
I realize that my readers are not just from English speaking countries. They’re from all around the world. My former students at King Saud University in Saudi Arabia inspired me to not only complete my eBook in English, but
Dear Young, Old, and Somewhere In Between Traveler,
I took my first trip abroad at 26. I had the wacky, crazy goal to see all seven continents by 30. And it actually happened.
Once I got to Antarctica, I promised myself that I would make a snow angel.
A stroke tripped me up in 2007. I graduated from college four years “late” in 2011. Yet, I arrived in Antarctica in 2015 at the age of 29.
The roadblocks came. The tests came. Removing and replacing these words helped me in a major way:
I received an invitation to visit the city of brotherly love.
Made a stop at Love Park.
And hopped around town a bit.
Since I’ve returned to the States, it’s been an honor to speak to various groups of people back in my home country. Today, I was gifted with the opportunity to speak to “God’s Covenant Prayer Partners” and share my testimony right here in “The Heartland.” During my presentation today, I mentioned that I write for Gospel Today Magazine. I’ve been writing for Gospel Today Magazine for about a year now and it’s been such an honor and joy. I’m excited to share my newest article with my Seven by 30 subscribers and readers. Please let me know your thoughts on this and share the wealth.
Dear Diary,
Sometimes I pray silly prayers. I mean really silly ones. Prayers like, “God, please let there be at least one Black person on my cruise in Antarctica.” Prayers like, “Lord, I don’t want to have to buy sunglasses for my expedition. Can someone on the ship have a spare? I want to save my coins.”

As many of you know, I sailed off for Antarctica a month ago. On March 25, 2015, I got on the Ushuaia MV and set sail for Antarctica. My port city was Ushuaia, Argentina. The pictures begin in Ushuaia. What you’re getting ready to see is my journey along the way. My goal of seeing all seven continents by my 30th birthday has been reached, finished, accomplished, and yes, fulfilled. Thanks for your support along the way. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words,
It´s my first night back in Argentina. I think I´ll get some shut eye and digest what just happened a bit more tomorrow. I want to write more. Really, I do, but I can´t seem to find the words. Oh, and this keyboard is a bit strange too. I´m using the hostel´s computer and I have to figure out the correct symbols in the morning. No energy for that mystery tonight.
My latest “Diary of a Travel-Diva” article is live! Read the excerpt below to find out how I managed to start a fire in Kenya last fall.
This is right before the fire broke out.
Well, it was time for me to get to work. I watched my tutor show me how to push down and stir the ugali. It took just about all of my strength to stir the heavy mass of grounded corn and water. I was given a cloth to help me turn the hot pot and the wooden spoon helped me press down the dish over the open fire. Just when I thought I had gotten the hang of it, someone screamed, “It’s burning! It’s burning!” Being new to this ugali business,
