I'm usually not a mirror selfie person, but here you go 😂 After my dramatic post yesterday where I'm sure y'all think I'm a hypochondriac now. Thankfully I'm starting to feel a bit better and I think it was just my body needing some rest. I get back to NYC tonight and will spend the next week getting my health in order so I can prepare for my big move at the end of May 🙏🏾 • • • • • #IgersLondon #ThisIsLondon #ILoveLondon #IG_London #TimeOutLondon #VisitLondon #Shutup_London #MaybeLdner #PrettyCityLondon #PrettyLittleLondon #IG_BritishIsles #VisitEngland #VisitBritain #TopLondonPhoto #BBCTravel #LondonLive #IGLondon #BBCBritain #VSCOLondon #LoveGreatBritain #LondonLive #ThePrettyCities #London #TimeOutLondon #Londonist #sketchlondon #sketch #blackgirlstravel #blackgirlmagic #afternoontea
God should have made one of the commandments, "Thou shalt not use WebMD to self diagnose." 😢 I'm about to get with with ya'll, because real life can be trifling. • • • The past couple weeks I've had symptoms that started to freak me out. It almost made me not go on my current trip because I thought it might get worse... Well it did... And now after lots of research and going into a deep dive of the medical part of the internet, it seems there's no question that I have something wrong and I really need to get it fixed or at least treated and potentially go onto a strict autoimmune diet. As a freelancer with no health insurance and the possibility of future trips I already paid for getting cancelled, this terrifies me. I got my carpe diem tattoo on my wrist in college because seizing the day was an important sentiment for me. I wanted to make the most of life while I had it, and travel has been a big part of that. Staying home for awhile and working on my health rather than seeing the world makes me more upset than content. I just have to suck it up and go to a clinic when I get back to America and hope that whatever this is doesn't completely ruin my carpe diem mindset (or get me into medical bill debt 😪). Please send good vibes my way ♥️
It never gets easy leaving London. Until next time ♥️ • • • #worldtraveller #wanderlusting #traveltime #createyourlife #aroundtheworld #beautifuldestinations #exploretocreate #ilovetravel #travelblogger #travelphotography #travellover #travelgram #travelphotographer #travelgirl #traveldiary #travelworld #worldtravel #worldtraveler #solotravel #solotraveler #instapassport #girlswhotravel #master_shots #exclusive_shots #ig_great_pics #letsflyaway #globetrotter #traveladdict #travelholic #exploresolo

Throwback to Costa Rica, January 2016. Beware, mushy post ahead. The past five years of my life have been defined because of this man. @levi_h_friedman has been the best partner a weirdo like me could ask for. As a very independent person who can entertain herself for hours (and sometimes days) and adores traveling solo, at the end of the day, it's literally the best feeling in the world to come home to the person who loves you. And leaving for my digital nomad adventure soon has been giving me some feels about how hard it's going to be to be away from him. We've done long distance before, but it doesn't mean it gets easier. And as much as I wish he had the same travel aspirations as me and could just up and leave NYC to follow me around the world, he's a talented creative who needs to stay put for awhile as he pursues his dreams as well. Even being away from him for a week during my current trip is getting me all sad and it makes me understand why most travelers like to stay single (it makes life so much easier to not have to worry about your boo). Anyways, I just wanted to shout him out and thank him for being an amazing and supportive partner and to just keep it real that even us independent women who don't need no man sometimes need their man 😂 • • • • • • #traveldiary #blackgirlswhoblog #traveldeeper #girlsabroad #sheisnotlost #traveltips #femmetravel #travelnoire #wearetravelgirls #traveljunkie #wanderlust #browngirlbloggers #travelisthenewclub #theprettycities #girlsaroundtheworld #soultravel #digitalnomad #travelphotographer #mytravelgram #travelgram #travelbloggers #femaletravelbloggers #fatgirlstraveling #wocwhotravel #blackwomentravel #cocoatravelersintl #costarica #jaco #jacocostarica #puravida

Here I go, here I go, here I go again ✈️ Leaving tonight to head back to where I should've been born 🇬🇧 Perhaps someday there will be a sort of program where you can trade citizenship with someone who wants to live in your country for awhile 🤔 • • • • • • #traveldiary #blackgirlswhoblog #traveldeeper #girlsabroad #sheisnotlost #traveltips #femmetravel #travelnoire #wearetravelgirls #traveljunkie #wanderlust #browngirlbloggers #travelisthenewclub #theprettycities #girlsaroundtheworld #soultravel #digitalnomad #travelphotographer #mytravelgram #travelgram #travelbloggers #femaletravelbloggers #fatgirlstraveling #wocwhotravel #blackwomentravel #cocoatravelersintl #cloisters #thecloisters #blackgirlmagic #cloistersmuseum
I spent my whole evening reading about auditioning in New York and while it's a scary thing to do, I'm so excited to head to Seattle this summer and restart my theatre career so next year I can start doing the actor's struggle in NYC. I've been traveling a lot the last few years which has made it really hard to commit to shows, and it's sad to have had to pick one thing over the other. But I think there is a way to balance both. I love traveling/blogging/working in social media, and I adore singing and performing as well, and I know I can have both lives if I set my mind to it. This summer will be a great chance to overlap that and live a life full of my passions 🎶✈️ • • • • • #travel #ig_travel #travelphotography #travelpics #travelsnaps #travelphotos #instapassport #passportready #travelingram #travelblog #travelblogger #solotravel #globalnomad #travellife #traveltheworld #globetrotter #traveladdict #traveldiaries #travelguide #goexplore #lovetotravel #aroundtheworld #travelgram #traveler #travelbug #travelawesome #girlswhotravel #travelgirl #travelogue #travelporn
We interrupt your regular programming to show you what "doing it for the 'gram" means 💁🏾‍♀️. My boyfriend caught this behind-the-scenes pic of me as I fell backwards into a ball pit at the @inthedreammachine pop-up, as I held my brand new camera, hoping to God it wouldn't break on its first vlog outing. Thankfully it didn't and I got a pretty cool video shot of the moment. Being a content creator isn't always pretty, but it's super fulfilling and worth it to pursue what we love 🎥 P.S. Is it just me, or does that shadow in the background look like Timothée Chalamet 😂 • • • • • • #traveldiary #blackgirlswhoblog #traveldeeper #girlsabroad #sheisnotlost #traveltips #femmetravel #travelnoire #wearetravelgirls #traveljunkie #wanderlust #browngirlbloggers #travelisthenewclub #theprettycities #girlsaroundtheworld #soultravel #digitalnomad #travelphotographer #mytravelgram #travelgram #travelbloggers #femaletravelbloggers #fatgirlstraveling #wocwhotravel #blackwomentravel #cocoatravelersintl #dreammachine #popup #behindthescenes #vlogger
Just a few more days before I'm back in London. I absolutely can't stay away for too long. It's an addiction that I'm very okay with having. If you're in the city this weekend and want to meet out, let me know! It's sadly most likely the last time I'll be in the UK this year before I set off on my digital nomad adventure in Asia in the fall 💃🏾 • • • • • #IgersLondon #ThisIsLondon #ILoveLondon #IG_London #TimeOutLondon #VisitLondon #Shutup_London #MaybeLdner #PrettyCityLondon #PrettyLittleLondon #IG_BritishIsles #VisitEngland #VisitBritain #TopLondonPhoto #BBCTravel #LondonLive #IGLondon #BBCBritain #VSCOLondon #LoveGreatBritain #LondonLive #ThePrettyCities #London #TimeOutLondon #Londonist
