A LITTLE ABOUT ME
A storyteller. A seeker. A listener.
I’m a travel storyteller and adventure creator setting out to cross Africa overland, from Mozambique to Morocco.
But this journey is about more than distance. It’s about trust, resilience and the people who open their doors, share their stories and challenge the fear-based narratives often attached to travelling across Africa.
At its heart, this is a journey by a woman, for women.

IMPACT
More than a route across Africa.
My expedition is about more than the distance I travel. Along the way, I want to document the people, conversations and acts of kindness that challenge fear-based narratives about solo female travel and travelling across Africa.
Through daily storytelling, film and photography, I hope to bring attention to human connection, women-led initiatives and the communities that shape my journey.
"How far can kindness go?"
The question guiding my journey,
Women-led impact
Spotlighting local initiatives and organisations led by women.
