I have two superpowers! 🦸‍♀️

1.) I travel- 78 countries so far! Not for bragging rights but to taste the food, meet the people, really feel the country’s (sometimes that means having uncomfortable allergies)🤧! we ARE Traveling Advisors!

2.) I work with knowledgeable in-country partners and suppliers- like ! .baer has been helping me create Africa memories for over 10 years- while I have been to Africa 2 times- se has been 200! I know the value of connecting with others who immerse themselves in the countries they specialize in!!

Safari planning is in full force over here- when you are ready- let’s plan a trip that will stir your soul, bring you to tears and make you take 2,000 pictures if Elephant!! 🐘 🥰

REAL TALK ✈️🦁

Can I be honest with you for a minute about something people don’t talk about when it comes to an African safari—especially staying in those dreamy luxury tents?

👉 ALLERGY SEASON IS REAL.

While my photos may look picture-perfect… behind the scenes?
Puffy eyes. Bloodshot and swollen.
A red, irritated nose thanks to what felt like cardboard-1-ply tissue (honestly… why?!)
Sunburned, blistered lips.
And my hair? Let’s just say one of the drivers lovingly nicknamed me Mufasa 🦁😂

It wasn’t glamorous. It wasn’t polished.
But here’s the thing…

It was STILL 1000% worth it.

Because while I may not have looked my best, I was out there watching lions, elephants, and cheetahs in the wild—something most people only dream about.

So if you’re allergy-prone, don’t let that stop you from experiencing Africa (or any destination that keeps you outdoors).
👉 Just go prepared
👉 Pack the right meds
👉 Pack tissues w/lotion 😉
👉 And maybe consider the best season for you

Because let’s be honest… I still have allergies back home in Nashville—
and there are definitely no lions walking past my window here 😉

Don’t wait for perfect conditions. Go anyway.

Y’all one week from today I will be touching down in Rwanda to cross off one my major bucket list items! I know, I know- bucket list gets tossed around a lot! But truly, people always ask me- what is on my must do list…and this has always been at the top!!

So….What is Gorilla Trekking and what is involved ?

🦍Gorilla trekking is one of the most extraordinary wildlife experiences on Earth. Deep in the rainforest of Volcanoes National Park, small groups hike through jungle terrain to find a family of endangered mountain gorillas.

🦍There are normally 3 different groups: Easy (2-3 miles ) Moderate (4-5 miles) and Hard (6-10 miles) of hiking. All of these are very dependent on where the Gorillas are that day. You could be on an easy group- and have to Trek 6 + miles..

🦍Groups are determined by, age, overall health and if you have any issues. We won’t know until we get there what group I will be placed in.

🦍We will be in a group of 6 and then our guides, trekkers aka, my soon to be, BFF!!

🦍Now for the fun part:…Once the gorillas are located, trekkers are allowed one unforgettable hour observing them in the wild — watching them eat, play, and interact just a few feet away.

🦍Only about 1,000 mountain gorillas remain in the world, making this one of the rarest wildlife encounters you can have.

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️Now you see why I have been “training.” The trek itself can take 1–4 hours through dense forest and sometimes steep terrain!!

I am going Solo, which will be therapeutic for me. However, I am not alone and would not be doing this without my trusted African Safari expert extraordinaire .baer and my in-country partner who have built be the perfect and safest Trek before I meet up with the group on an amazing Kenya Safari Ambassador trip!!

I can’t wait!!!!

Would this be on your bucket list? What else would you like to know?!

🦍 What exactly is Gorilla Trekking?

Gorilla trekking is one of the rarest wildlife experiences on earth. After hiking through the rainforest of Volcanoes National Park, small groups are allowed one hour with a family of endangered mountain gorillas.

Only about 1,000 mountain gorillas remain in the world, and Rwanda is one of the best places to see them in the wild.

The trek can take 1–4 hours through jungle terrain, which is why I’m currently training for the adventure!

Would you hike through the rainforest to see gorillas? 🌿
