made my way around that globe several<br />

times. I have visited 65 countries, 35<br />

states and six continents. I have lived in<br />

five countries on four continents.<br />

My travels are largely driven by my desire<br />

to visit every country in the world.<br />

I believe that in order to understand<br />

others and be tolerant, we need to see,<br />

with our own eyes how people live. Traveling<br />

has made me more open-minded,<br />

empathetic and self aware.<br />

My travel style is definitely inspired by<br />

my Ugandan heritage and my love of<br />

my blackness. I wear my hair closely<br />

shaven as my mother did as a child. I<br />

wear very bright clothes and I love love<br />

love prints. I also make it a point to<br />

wear bright, bold lipsticks. My style is<br />

also inspired by my travels. One of my<br />

favorite things to do when I visit a new<br />

country is to head to the market to buy<br />

jewelry, clothing, or fabric to have clothing<br />

tailor made. Often times no matter<br />

where in the world you catch me, I am<br />

wearing items from no less than three<br />

countries.<br />

Since 2008, I have been blogging about<br />

my travels. What started as a blog for<br />

my friends and family to keep up with<br />

me when I moved to Japan, turned into<br />

Catch Me If You Can, a travel blog that<br />

takes readers around the world and<br />

aims to inspire people to travel more.
