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

Hi sisters 🌹👑💎 My name is Amina, I’m 38, and I’m from Algeria. I am a strong believer in a world without borders so I’d love to meet up, explore, or even find a kind host during my journey. I’m planning to visit Córdoba, Málaga, Granada, and Sévilla, and I’d love to connect with locals or fellow travelers. A little about me: I work in diplomacy, love art therapy, painting, volunteering, hiking, yoga... I enjoy discovering new cultures, exploring nature, attending workshops and conferences and visiting museums and art galleries. Adventurely yours, 🥰
