Solo travel

I started my journey in Kenya in Mombasa, then flew to Rwanda and took a gorilla trekking trip, then travelled overland and stayed overnight in Rwanda, Uganda, until I returned back to Kenya. Then I flew to South Africa and travelled along the coast of Cape Town, Hermanus, Simons Town, Gansbaai and Stellenbosch. It was the trip of a lifetime.

About me

Hey ! I’m Shama, 28yo living in gorgeous Marrakech ! I live in a cute little house 10min from the city ( love me some peace and quiet, closer to the Atlas Mountains as well ! ) with my husband, our 2 amazing female doggies, lily and pumpkin, a turtle named turtle who would def nibble on your toe for a piece of fruit, 2 bird families that we don’t own but who decided to make nests around the house ! So yeah quite the happy bunch and lively home ! I work as an assistant in a Montessori school, and spend 1/3 of the year in Tanzania studying to become a Montessori guide ! My husband is Swiss Army knife with everything relating to design/photography and so many other things AND loves cooking from scratch, very lucky gal over here 💃🏻 ! We love hosting, sharing stories and life moments, eating good food, Rock climbing, camping around Morocco 🇲🇦!
