Safari at 50+: Real Style, Real Rain, and Real Adventure in Kenya
What are the best walking boots for the Green Season in Kenya?

Soroi Larsen's Camp: What it's really like, my experience
Here are my best moments at the Soroi Larsens Camp in Samburu. I wrote a review of the Soroi Larsens accommodation. But I want to tell you about my memories and what has stuck with me.

The Safari I Turned Pretty
The Safari I Turned Pretty? Or the Summer I Turned Pretty?
Yes. My daughter introduced me to The Summer I Turned Pretty, and I immediately read the book. Then fell in love with the series. I related to the show, because I used to be a swimmer and every summer we would go to California for summer. I had my first kiss in Lake Tahoe!

Women Only Safaris in Kenya: What Actually Makes Them Different?
What a women-only safari really means, and what it doesn't
A women-only safari is not about exclusion. It's about experience. A unique experience that is designed for comfort, safety, and shared values. I understand these values, as for the past 16 years, I have managed a women-only group of metaplastic breast cancer patients. This is a rare cancer, and through our group, we ladies have bonded and share a set of common experiences and values.
