MyBreakingViews (MBV) Is Back Online After Nearly 2 Years Away!
Hey MyBreakingViewers! It’s been a while, nearly two whole years, to be exact! Put first things first: I’m so sorry for the silence, and I’m genuinely so happy to say…
MBV is back online and I’m here for GOOD this time.
Where Have I Been?
I took some much-needed time away to focus on the work hard dream big: completing my Master’s in Global Diplomacy at SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies). Studying part-time while working full-time was not easy, but it was worth it.
Now that I’ve finished, I can finally return to my other loves like sharing solo travel tips, Cooking Travel Talks (CTT), personal reflections, and inspiring travel content for Black women around the world. On my website!
If you’ve been following me on my new Instagram, where I have been sharing snippets. You will know that I re-started my IG page for a fresh start, especially after the trolls from the situation in Greece – read about it here.
Where I’ve Been While I Was Away
Even with the challenges of COVID-19, my MA, and a full-time job, I still made time to travel. Because why not? And you know what? I’ve got so many stories to tell. I will be writing blog post using my journal. I tend to document all my travel journeys via my travel journey. It usually consists of things I eat, what I did and how the day made me feel.
Here’s a quick look at where I’ve been in the last couple of years:
March 2022 Jordan
My second time in the Middle East and I was in love. The falafel, hummus, and shawarma were incredible and the best I’ve ever had. I even recreated some of the food back home on Cooking Travel Talks. I travelled with GoJolley, and I honestly recommend them for a smooth, group travel experience. Read about it here.
May 2022 France, Paris
Paris never gets old. I’ve been many times, but this time I tried escargots (yes, snails!) and loved them. If you’re UK-based, 2 days in Paris is more than enough, because trust me, you’ll keep going back. You can read about my time here.
August 2022 Turkey
I admit I was a little hesitant about visiting Turkey at first, especially after hearing about other Black women’s experiences. But my time in Turkey? Work hard dream big! The food was next level and the people were so kind. You can read about my time here.
September 2022 Italy
Italy is always a classic. I explored Pisa and Florence for the first time, and Florence completely stole my heart. We even did a Cooking Travel Talks episode for Italy, which you can find it here.
October 2022 West Africa
This trip meant so much to me. I visited Nigeria, The Gambia, and Senegal. A dream of mine has been to explore Africa. I travelled with Ajala Travels, and we did Cooking Travel Talks Lives for all three. The seafood in Nigeria? The safaris in Senegal? The energy in The Gambia? Unmatched.
What’s Next for MBV?
Now that I’m back, expect consistent weekly blog posts, updated travel guides, solo travel tips, foodie finds, digital products, and free resources to help YOU explore the world confidently.
