Hey! I'm Nikki, a South African expat (with English roots) living in the US! Welcome to my tiny corner of the Internet where I get to document and share my adventures with you, and hopefully inspire you to do the same. Throughout my blog you’ll find some itineraries, destination guides, and photos from all my travels. While I am not traveling, I work as a reading specialist at a middle school in NY. Also, follow me on my social media accounts to keep up to date with what’s going on and where I am. Thanks for the support!
