Explore Africa and Canada’s Cabot Trail!
IWIF is made up of guides, articles, and travel aids based on what I’ve learned on my travels. You’ll find detailed info and practical tips designed to make sure you get the most out of your time in Africa – while staying safe.
And as I live on one of the greatest road trips in the world – the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia, Canada – there’s a section for that too. Learn what there is to see and the best stops, stays, and activities on the trail.

Hi, I’m Deb
I’ve loved Africa ever since I was a little girl watching slides of relatives’ safaris projected onto a bedroom wall. I grew up dreaming of travelling the world, and those slides put Africa on my radar at a very young age.
My first trip was a dream come true, and since then I’ve spent a total of about 10 months exploring Africa. I always travel solo, usually independently, with the odd tour or organized safari thrown in the mix.
I’ve been through Morocco and Egypt, visited the source of the Nile, and toured a total of 9 countries – with still so many to go. Follow for inspiration for your own travels!
And when I’m home I’m just off the Cabot Trail, in Nova Scotia Canada. I’ve been here for 5 years now, and I invite you to join me as I explore this spectacular part of the world!
I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up that I was not happy.
