This is a long overdue due, but much needed blog. Back in June 2018, I went to Nigeria, and had the opportunity to visit the Nike Art Gallery. I found out about the Art Gallery from Instagram and knew that I had to make my way there. I even brought my parents and aunt with…

Lagos, Nigeria
My Father and Mother’s home land! It has been 5 years since I’ve been back and 4 since I have seen my grandmother so this was a trip that I was looking forward to. Being back in Nigeria allowed me to see the changes and growth in Lagos, visit some family and soak in the…
Kalakuta Republic (Fela Kuti) Museum
The home to many pictures, newspaper articles and collections of Mr. Fela Kuti. The Museum is located on Allen Avenue on 7 Gbemisola Road in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. It was Fela’s house! The entrance fee is 1000 Naira which is equivalent to about $2.79 (from everything I experienced on this tour, I think the entrance…
Montserrat Monastery Day trip
Prior going to Spain I looked for other places we can go to outside of Barcelona; pretty much wanting to get as much out of this trip as possible. There were so many options: a day trip to Madrid, a full day trip to France, etc; but because this was a trip with my mom…
San Juan (Post Hurricane Maria)

As soon as we left the cruise port we drove past Rihanna’s childhood home. He explained that over the years her family moved from the home but…
Los Angeles, California: Birthday Edition
We’ve been long overdue for a girlfranns trip; so what better occasion to have one than my birthday! It was my first time on the West coast. I’ve only been wanting to go to LA (and Cali as a whole) since forever. The only thing holding me back was that dreadful flight; but I’m glad…
Weekend Getaway: Philly Edition
Sometimes you just need a little break from your normal surroundings. Over the last couple of months I’ve been juggling work, studying, classes and trying to make time for my personal life. So a break from my normal routine was very much-needed. Philly is so close to New York (1.5 hour drive) that you could actually…
