So much to do so little time!

Sorry I have not posted anything in a while. I just been so active and enjoying so much I would not even know where to start. Since my last post I have been to Brazil, Ghana, South Africa, mauritius and am now in Chennai, India. Since going to these countries I have learned so much, in fact so much I wont be able to comprehend most of it until later. I try to take pictures but I get so caught in the moment it gets annoying to take out the camera, but here are some of the pictures and videos I did take.

In Dominica (Not Dominican Republic)

The view is beautiful, the place where Pirates of the Caribbean 2 & 3 was filmed. It's not a lot of tourist here, Chickens and goats are in front of people houses. Also apparently I do not fit in because of my dashiki, The first day here was so amazing I still cant believe I am on this trip. Already I am looking to study abroad this summer which one of my good friends I met on the boat i will be helping me with. I hung out with my other good friends who are from China and it touch my heart that my friend Chin from the Shanghai area actually said I changed her views on African Americans in America. The other day was Chinese new years which I had the experience to join them in there celebration, having the chance to learn about their traditions. So far I have met so many friends and all of them International so I learn something new everyday. I now can officially say I have friends in China, Hong Kong, Sweden, Viet Nam, India, Canada,  Thailand, Brazil and so many other places. This trip so far has been the best thing that ever happened to me. I mean so many open minded people in one place and everyone wants to get to know you, I could not ask for anything better. I will be sad when this trip ends so for now I am trying to make everyday go slow and really get to know how it is to be in a culture and not just a tourist. (10 more day till Brazil!)

SHOT UP;-(

Yesterday I had to get 4 vaccine shots and two prescriptions, my arms was hurting after and still hurt a day later, but it's better than getting yellow fever. The bad news is, even though I had all those shots I can still get dengue fever (:-(.) My bad news is the doctor told me to try not to eat the street vending foods, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was looking forward to the cheap food!

I need that yellow document to get on the ship

La Musique



Get a playlist! Standalone player Get Ringtones

Moshi- Moshi! (Japanese "Hello" when you pick up the phone)

I always say talent is worldwide and it seems like America has been lacking it. I believe it's my job to show everyone there is more than what we see on BET, MTV, and VH1. Many people call me weird because I listen to stuff I can't understand(I barely can understand american music.)


"How do I come across this stuff?" you ask?
Answer: When I'm bored I just look up random stuff on the internet ;-)


Random: I love to go to the International movie theater we have in D.C. and indulge in some Australian Tim Tams


It's so amazing how close minded America is to be a so called "melting pot"


I just love this group called 2ne1:(pronounced) "twenty-one" 
 A Korean-pop girl group

And a must see Korean movie (You must watch this, one of the best movies you will ever see)


The Wedding Dress
