Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

Zambia Independence

Hi there! I know its been yonkers since I went and came back from my beloved Zambia but I have been so busy with other posts and work that I had not had the opportunity to share my travels with you (I am yet to document Munich, Germany). I had so much fun being at home with my cousins and new friends, I missed them so much. Mum told me last time we visited that when me and my cousins were kids we were thick as thieves and I can totally see that now. Whilst with my cousins in the capital they introduced me to Hunter’s dry, Good lord in heaven! I had never heard or hunter’s dry before didn’t even know if it was a spirit or cider so I was a bit sceptical but ready to try anything in that heat. Boy oh boy did we have fun with hunter’s dry, next time I am there I am getting me another case (to my self). Though I am not a ‘drinker’ per se I do enjoy an occasional spirit of sorts I am not a big Cider fan but I will admit to having liked hunter’s dry which I am yet to find in the UK. It is always a pleasure and a blessing to spend time with family and I am grateful to have such loving family and friends.

As part of my end-of-year retreat, I chose to stay at an adult-only resort in Marrakech Morocco and it was the best decision I ever made. My love for all-inclusive adult-only hotels and resorts came from my visit to the Maldives a couple of years ago. As someone who often had a bias towards all-inclusive resorts for more reasons than I care to share, I didn’t realize how much I was missing out on until visiting the summer islands in the Maldives and now I am a true advocate for resorts. The all-inclusive resort that helped me change my tune about adult-only resorts is the TUI BLUE RIU TIKIDA GARDEN.Stay at an Adult-only Resort in Marrakech

    It’s always a great accomplishment to go back to our birth country and truly visit with friends and family. Glad that you were able to scratch that one off your goal list.

    Wow, from Zambia to Munich? Awesome! Looking forward to those recollections. I went to Munich last year, and loved it. I’m not a drinker either, so I’ve never heard about that cider, but glad you enjoyed it so much! 😉
