Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica is beautiful…

But after living there for 3 months, whew 😅 … there are definitely some things people don’t mention on social media.

In my new video, I’m talking about:
• the reality of small-town life
• why Puerto can start feeling limiting fast
• and the topic that ALWAYS seems to trigger people in my comments 👀

Apparently, some folks think Black travelers shouldn’t discuss cultural dynamics, expat culture, or who actually lives in PV.

So… we’re getting into all of it.

Watch the video and tell me:
Am I wrong… or just honest? 👀

Have you ever traveled somewhere and felt a noticeable shift in how you were treated as a Black person?

The kind of thing that shows up in real, everyday interactions.

I talked about this in my latest video, and the comments are already interesting 👀

What’s been your experience?

You already know I’m big on reinventing your life through travel ✈️

Traveling more.
Living differently.
Doing things on your own terms.

But here’s the part people skip—your lifestyle can only expand as far as your income allows it to.

That’s why this conversation around job liberation matters.

This article features my friend Dr. Kimani Norrington-Sands from ‪@liftingasweclimbconsulting‬ and the work she’s doing to help women move beyond toxic or limiting work situations and start creating real options.

Because freedom isn’t just about where you live—it’s about how you live.

The 3rd Annual Job Liberation Summit for Black Women is included in the article if you want to look into it. It’s happening May 1st through May 3rd.

I was supposed to be on a flight to Bangkok…
I never even went to the airport.

Okay, I’m officially obsessed with the vibe here. The city is modern and bustling, the sun is hitting just right and I’m having the best time exploring.

Can you guess which city I’m in? 🔍✈️🌎

I’ll give you a hint: The food here is 10/10 and the people are even better. Drop your best guesses in the comments.

Can’t wait to tell you all about the city I’ll be calling home for the next few months. ✨

☀️2K Subs!!!☀️

🗑️ I was told I was "throwing it all away."

💼 The career. The status. The stability of the anchor desk. People thought I was losing my mind. But in reality? I was finally finding my soul.

🎉 I’m posting this today because we just hit 2K SUBSCRIBERS, and it feels like the perfect moment to say: Thank you for choosing the "real" me.

✍🏽 For years, I told other people’s stories. Now, I get to tell mine—and more importantly, I get to hold space for yours. Reaching 2,000 isn't a vanity metric for me. It’s 2,000 pieces of evidence that when you have the courage to walk away from what’s "expected," you find exactly where you’re supposed to be.

👔 If you’re living a life that feels like a tight suit—beautiful on the outside, but suffocating on the inside—let this be your sign.

✨To my first 2,000: Thank you for the freedom. We’re just getting started.✨

I’m also prepping for my next destination.
I’ve never been there before and I can’t wait to share it with you ✈️🌎

But in the meantime, I came across this short I did a while back and it gave me so much inspo🦋

Hope it will spark something in you too ✨💫

So apparently, one thing I didn’t mention in my latest video about Barbados… was DATING. 😅

And y’all did not let me get away with that! You went in on everything — from dating local men to love scams. The comment section got spicy, and honestly… I loved it. 😂

If you missed the video that started all the drama, here it is 👇🏾

✨ Real talk: Solo travel is the ultimate glow-up. ✈️You get to do what you want, when you want—no group chats, no compromises, no waiting on flaky friends. And guess what? Traveling solo doesn’t mean you’re by yourself all the time. Nope! It actually makes it easier to meet amazing people—friends, adventure buddies, and yes… even dates 👀.

In this video, I’m sharing the unexpected joys of solo travel including:
🌍 Loving the soft life on a budget
🌍 Dating
🌍 Getting fit and fine
🌍 and as always some heartfelt travel inspo that I hope will get you to book that flight

If you’ve been saying “One day I’ll travel”… this is your sign to make that day today. Pack the bag, book the flight, live the story you’ll be bragging about for years. ✈️✨

👉 Hit play now—this one’s for my women over 40, my first-time solo travelers, and anyone ready for adventure with a little side of fun.
