Hi, I’m Trina, and I was bitten by the travel bug more than 30 years ago! I started exploring the world independently way back, and since 2017, I’ve been a full-time traveler, diving deep into the rich cultures of Southeast Asia (7 countries) and Africa (11 countries). Currently based in Tamale, Ghana, I’m all about experiencing destinations in a real, down-to-earth way—no luxury fluff, just genuine adventures. And starting in January 2025, I’ll be traveling overland from Ghana to Namibia in what I have creatively dubbed, Africa Tour 2025. My travel style? Comfort-budget. I stay in local spots that are as inexpensive as I can get and still be comfortable. I eat where the locals do and hop on public transport when it makes sense. However, I do slide up to mid-range now and again for an extra bit of comfort and for clients who prefer a softer stay. Whether you’re looking for vibrant markets, hidden gems, or cultural hotspots, I’ve been there, done that, and am more than happy to pass along what I’ve learned—honestly and without the hype. I’m a big believer in being upfront. My guides and consultations come from real experiences, and I never recommend anything I wouldn’t do myself. You’ll find my approach both informative and practical because I want you to have an incredible, stress-free trip. Whether you’re tackling the lively streets of Accra or searching for unique experiences across Africa, I’ve got the insights to help you navigate it all. And let’s not forget the creative side! I have a huge passion for arts and crafts, especially anything performance-related like drumming, so you’ll often find those cultural highlights in my recommendations. My goal is simple: to help you have the best adventure possible, with all of the fun and none of the hassle. If you’re looking for honest, practical advice from someone who’s been there and done that, I’d love to help you plan your next unforgettable journey!

What do I love more: traveling or planning the trips? The answer shall reveal itself after my next adventure ☺️. Over the past decade, my wanderlust has carried me across continents through 10+ countries and 25+ vibrant cities. You will find guides tailored to Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, and North America. I love a blue water beach 🏝️, a rooftop bar 🍸, and authentic food 😋. Most of my guides cater to those seeking an "on budget with a razzle-dazzle of lavishness" experience, offering guides with both frugality and luxury. Prepare to go beyond the tourist spots and immerse yourself into cultural authenticity. I am sharing itineraries I have created for myself, family, friends, and travel groups.

Hi there! I’m cat, and I share my best finds as a travel nurse, food enthusiast, and travel researcher.

Not here to impress, but I am going to make sure you’re travel is going to be something to remember!
