About Malaika

Hey, I’m Malaika! I’ve been obsessed with travel ever since my first big trip to Hawaii in 2011 when I was nine. I still remember standing on the beach, watching a sea lion sunbathe on the volcanic rocks, completely in awe. It was the first time I realized how big and beautiful the world really is—and I knew I had to see more of it.

Fast forward to when I was 19, and I took my biggest leap yet: moving to Mozambique by myself to live at a children’s home. I spent my time teaching English and sports to the kids there, and it completely changed the way I see the world. It wasn’t just about travel anymore; it was about connection, growth, and stepping into the unknown.

Since then, I’ve made it my mission to explore as much as I can—whether it’s a quick weekend trip or a months-long adventure. For me, travel isn’t just about checking places off a list; it’s about experiencing different cultures, pushing myself outside my comfort zone, and saying yes to the unexpected.

If you’re someone who loves adventure, deep conversations, and making the most of every experience, we’re going to get along just fine. Let’s see the world together!
