Marinha Beach is one of the most well known beaches of the Algarve. With breathtaking views and dramatic cliffs you’ll see why @lonelyplanet ranked Praia Marinha as their favorite of all the Algarve beaches. . . This was our first stop on a full day of beach hopping and I have to say Marinha Beach is a must see and the perfect place to relax and snorkel! . .

❗️Tuesday Travel Tip: let your family & friends connect you to their friends abroad❗️#traveltuesday . . It sounds like a given but how many of us actually connect with someone abroad who are strangers to us personally but we have been brought together through a mutual connection? . I do this all the time for myself and others; I especially love connecting my friends/family who are traveling abroad to my network in various countries! And when I get the report that they actually met and are now friends on their own warms my heart. 💕 . I think it’s something I get from my Eritrean dad who literally knows someone in every country or city I visit. Whether it’s a relative or someone he grew up with from his village, he’s always saying “Fidel, go visit so and so in X country!” 😆 . . And this approach was no different when me and my pops visited Sydney, Australia for the first time and @heritrean connected us with her friend Angela! A local from Sydney, Angela was so welcoming and sweet, she gave us all the tips to explore Sydney and even took us out to dinner with her husband and friend. Also, I’ve never seen my dad take shots before but Angela wasn’t taking no for an answer! Hilarious, I swear they were besties after this!😆🍻 . So tell me, how often do you meet a friend of a friend while traveling?? I love sharing my network with others so if you’re traveling somewhere where you know no one or just want to meet a local, comment below and I can see how I can help! . . . . #globebeyondyourself #meetlocals #australianadventures #friendsoffriends #latravelblogger #sydneyaustralia #fosterconnection #howdoyoutravel #newfriends #travelhabesha #eritrean #travelcommunity #tuesdaytip #networkerlife

Live Your Dream Sis 🙌🏾 . I love seeing beautiful street art when traveling. From Istanbul, to Lisbon, and even right here in LA, you’ll find some inspiring art on every corner! . . Maybe its the inner artist in me that enjoys the beautiful colors and interpretations of art or maybe it’s the respect I have for those that are living their dream despite all odds. . I remember when asked in 2nd grade “what do you want to be when you grow up?” I said, “An Artist!” I was/am a true creative and loved to express my artistic side growing up but somewhere along the way you learn that [insert dream] may not be a realistic option! So, you take your cues from societal norms and pursue something more acceptable. . . But regardless of what that is for you, don’t give up on your dream sis! It may not be your career but you can always do that which brings you joy or simply appreciate it in others. . . What was your childhood dream and are you living it?? . . Happy Sunday! 😘 . . . #globebeyondyourself #streetart #liveyourdream #dreambig #istanbul #turkey #livingthedream #art #whatdoyoulove #create #joy #thecouragetodream #travel #travelblogger #inspire #creative #sundaymood #sundayfunday #visitistanbul #galatatower #wanderlust

GROUP TRIPS W/ STRANGERS . Meeting people along your travels is expected. Whether it’s connecting with locals to find the best place to eat or bonding with other travelers on your @freetourcom who are exploring a destination for the first time, being open to strangers is a part of the territory when globetrotting. . . ‼️That’s why one of my 2020 travel goals is to take a group trip with strangers‼️#grouptrips . . While I’ve been told I’m pretty friendly and open to connecting with strangers abroad, I want to take it a step further and explore a destination with a group of people I’ve never met! It’s definitely another #bucketlist experience I want to explore for myself. . As I continue to try new things in travel, this was just one more way I can push myself to get out of my comfort zone! I’m trying to practice what I preach y’all!! While it sounds fun it can also be challenging to travel with people who have different personalities and different ideas of how to travel. But to me it’s all a learning experience. To learn more about myself and to hopefully meet amazing people along the way that you can foster real connections with. . So tell me, have you taken a group trip with strangers?? How was it?? . Also, if you host or know of someone who hosts group trips tag them on this post, I’d love to learn about some awesome opportunities to travel with groups!! Let us know what kind of trips you host, destinations for 2020 and where to find more info!! @deirdredares @lizzy_loo @traveleatslay @travelnoire . . Let’s share the love and go on a group trip!! Who’s down?! . . . #globebeyondyourself #travelgoals #makenewfriends #2020goals #tripswithstrangers #newfriends #travelbuddies #beopen #getoutofyourcomfortzone #santacatalinaarch #antigua #guatemala #visitguatemala #traveltuesday #blackgirlswhotravel #blackgirlswhoblog #wanderlust #girlstrip #TLPicks #insidertravel #thediscoverer #melanin #travelhabesha #travelnoire #travel #wegotoo #dametraveler

# S Q U A D # . Share a favorite travel memory with your #squad ❤️ . . I’ll go first. While I don’t get to travel with these girls often, we had the best time visiting Tulum, Mexico 🇲🇽 a couple of years ago celebrating my #bffs Beach Bachelorette getaway!! We rented an oceanside villa @villaarghy lounged poolside daily, and enjoyed fun excursions like exploring #cenotes and #ancientruins !! Take me back! #squadgoals @betelhem @mgina @mstaneshawright . . . . #globebeyondyourself #villa #girlstrip #bachelorette #poolside #tulummexico #villaarghy #oceanvibes #friends #tropicalbachelorette #bridesquad #travelsquad #infinitipool #happymonday #blackgirlswhoblog #travelista #blackgirlstraveltoo #wanderlust #dametraveler #explorer #girlsthatwander #femmetravel #citizenfemme #travelblogger

Happy Friday & the first of the month!! It’s already #november y’all!! Let’s take a moment to learn from auntie @oprah 👇🏾🤓 . “It is confidence in our bodies, minds and spirits that allow us to keep looking for new adventures, new directions to grow in, and new lessons to learn – which is what life is all about.” – Oprah Winfrey . Don’t wait for tomorrow, have the confidence in yourself today to keep learning, growing, and of course living your best life!! . . If it is confidence you’re struggling with, what’s one small step you can take now to get you to where you want to be? Don’t be overwhelmed by the end goal but think a series of baby steps will allow you to chip away and move you forward. #dontstop #moveforward . . . #globebeyondyourself #friday #oprahquotes #barcelona #tgif #confidenceiskey #spain #dontgetstuck #sagradafamilia #livelife #adventure #traveltheworld #travelblogger #travelislife #blackgirlswhoblog #wegotoo #travelblogger #blackgirlstraveltoo #travelgram #dametraveler #passionpassport #ladiesgoneglobal #femmetravel #passportcollective

Happy Travel Tuesday! You may or may not know that I’ve been intentionally traveling less this year! 😱I know shocking! This mostly pertains to international trips because in 2018 I went hard, visiting 10 new countries and as a result I was exhausted 😩 . . So, for 2019 I wanted to travel less and be home more...why, so that I can save more, pay off debt, be more present in the lives of those that I love, focus on my new job, be able to serve my church more, explore more domestically, and frankly just be able to recover from an intense year of travel. I’ve been able to do all of that and setting my intention upfront helped me stay focused! . While I obviously love to travel and still went on a couple of international trips this year, I don’t feel bad about taking a break. Plus I’m getting older and back to back trips take a lot out of me these days 😆 . . You have to know what your limits are and know that in order to so YES to something, you’re inadvertently saying NO to something else! That’s a word for somebody! . So, I said “No” or “not as much” to travel this year so that I can say “Yes” to everything else I set out to achieve for the year! The “No” is not forever, it’s just not right now! . Is it hard for you to say No to things you love so that you can say Yes to something else? I recommend writing down your intentions or goals for next year to help keep you on track. . . . . #globebeyondyourself #restraint #traveltuesday #travelgoals #saynosoyoucansayyes #domestictravel #imfocusedman #sayyestoyourself #2019goals #yearofrecovery #losangeles #california #travel #staythecourse #travelblogger #workmode #professional
