About Maahierah

Born in Cape Town but raised in Detroit, I spent the first couple years of my life visiting every single state that was accessible by car. My father’s never-ending spirit of adventure fueled our trips, and I can confidently say that his love for travel has passed down to me. 

After graduating with my Bachelors in Finance, I decided to pack up all my things and move back home to South Africa. I spent a couple months living there before I had to return to the States and finish my Master’s Degree. Although South Africa will forever have my heart, I am lucky enough to call two places home. 

While I enjoy traveling solo, I often like to drag my siblings with me. Most of my memories and crazy adventures are made that much better when I have them by my side. With two older brothers and one younger sister, I really never have time to be bored. We’re constantly learning new ways to make travel a little bit easier and avoid any unfortunate situations (like taking the wrong bus and ending up several hours away from your destination).

When I’m not traveling, I usually spend my days browsing the international section on Netflix or redecorating my room for the millionth time.  I love everything related to the beach (but sadly live nowhere near it), and you will most likely find me taking pictures of palm trees. 

I hope you’ll enjoy these stories and journey with me as I search for adventure, far and wide.
