I’ve always struggled a little when it comes to writing short bios, whether it’s for a dating site or right here on my own travel blog site! To make a very long story short, I picked up a strong case of the travel bug at the young age of 6 when my folks took me on my first overseas trip to the breathtakingly beautiful Cape Town in South Africa. Since that eye-opening trip, I like to think I’ve become something of a very seasoned traveler, making my way across pretty much every continent.
If you’re reading this, I’d expect you to share my passion for travel, and I hope you’re able to use some of my experiences and tips on your next adventure – wherever that may be.
Join me, Cedric Okiorina, on my journey around the world!
