Hey ladies!! Thanks so much for dropping by and checking out my site. I'm Shakeemah, ( you can call me "Keem") but my family began affectionately calling me “The Passport Abuser” because I spent more time around the world than at home.

I'm the oldest of six children, born and raised in East Orange, NJ, and I have a Master of Arts Degree in Public Policy from Montclair State University. My biggest accomplishment to date, is that I've traveled to 94+ countries as a female solo traveler. 

Traveling the world and empowering women is the intersection that sets my heart on fire the most, and it's my life's purpose to empower and educate women to travel the world.

I started my solo travel journey after what I'd consider (and I'm sure my entire family too lol) the worst breakup of my life. I pretty much felt alone, and between a broken heart, envious girlfriends, and fair weathered friends who always backed out on travel plans, I decided that it was time for me to take matters into my own hands. My first solo trip ever was to Paris, and that's where I gained my "wings" so to speak. Country #1 solo ultimately turned into country #94  and it was off to the races from there.
