Hi again,

My name is Ru, short for Ruvimbo and I am Zimbabwean-Canadian. I am based in the best province, Alberta. Say what you will but I love it here. My love for travel started when I was pretty young and over the years my curiosity for the world has become insatiable. 

Like a lot of people, I work a regular job so I try to travel as much as I can taking into consideration my time off and my finances because young, black and sorta broke. I wish I was a trust fund baby. With that being said, I’m somewhere between a budget traveller and a “luxury” traveller. During the same trip, I could stay in a hostel and then, a few days later, be at a 4* or 5* hotel. There’s no formula to it really, it’s all about what the bank account allows. 

When I am not travelling, I am probably planning a trip. Outside of that, I enjoy watching TV shows (black reality TV is my guilty pleasure), I have taken up photography as a hobby and I’m enjoying it. I love designing my own press-on nails, I enjoy going out to eat and I sure do love a good cocktail.

Travel blogging is new to me but I wanted a space where I could share my adventures with fellow wanderers. You can expect honest reviews, quirky stories and great recommendations that will help you with your own adventures. So, join me as I explore the hidden gems of our beautiful planet, one unique experience at a time.
