00:00Dear diary, I've been on a mission to visit every country in the world all by

00:11myself. No crew, no partner, just me, my suitcase, my camera, and a whole lot of

00:19courage. People see the highlights, the stamps, and my passport, the beautiful

00:25landscapes, the curated vlogs, the once-in-a-lifetime experience, but what

00:31they don't always see is the weight that I carry. I recently became single and

00:37that's been really hard for me. When you lose someone you thought you'd be beside

00:43through it all or end up with when this was all over, the world can start to feel

00:49even bigger and lonelier. But heartbreak doesn't cancel purpose. This goal of

00:56visiting every country in the world is so much bigger than me. It's about pushing

01:01past my limits and it's about proving that I can show up for myself and for

01:06those who look up to me. Inspire people to not think that they have to live in some

01:13boundary or by some preset rules or confines they may have placed on

01:22themselves. Even when I'm tired, even when I'm scared, even when I feel like no

01:27one is cheering me on, every country teaches me something new about people, about

01:34resilience, about faith, and about who I am when no one else is watching. Yes, I get

01:42extremely lonely. Absolutely. Do I question if I can keep going? Sometimes. But for

01:48me, giving up is not an option and it never will be. Because someone out there,

01:54there's a little girl watching me somewhere wondering if she can do

01:58something big, wondering if she needs a man to be complete in life, wondering if

02:04little old her from nowhere can do big things. And the answer is she can.

02:12I'm not doing this for fame. I'm not doing this for a thrill or for an escape. I'm

02:17doing this because I was called to. Because this dream is planted deep, deep in my

02:23heart. And no amount of heartbreak can uproot it. This journey is the hardest

02:29thing I've ever done in my entire life. It is so lonely. It is so mentally and

02:35emotionally taxing to the point where sometimes I feel like I'm going to break. But the beautiful

02:42moments are outweigh the bad. The heartbreak is real. The loneliness is real. But the things

02:52that I learn, the things I get to experience, whether difficult or easy, are shaping me.

02:58The continent that I need to conquer, that is going to bring me so close to visiting every

03:06single country in the world. When we are finished Africa, we're going to be so close to finishing

03:11this goal. I may be alone, but I'm never empty. This challenge has become a deep part of my lineage,

03:21my family's lineage, my legacy, and so many others. Because when somebody makes a big, brave

03:27step, there's more to follow.

03:31back in the single world. And totally dedicated to this mission of visiting every country in

03:59the world. I am taking this time in my life to go all in on the things that I truly believe

04:11in. And no person is going to stop me. No discouragement is going to stop me. If you

04:18watched my video the other day, I got very discouraged. I got very upset. I was also dealing

04:22with that relationship stuff. And I just felt defeated. But I was like, wait a minute.

04:28I didn't start this challenge of trying to visit every country in the world to one, not enjoy

04:36it, to let something or someone stop me. I started this because I wanted to make waves. I wanted

04:44people to look at me and be like, she is doing this so I can do brave things in life. I can

04:54be courageous in life. I am doing this challenge. It's not even about me. It's so much bigger

05:02than me. So I have no reason to quit. If you saw my video the other day, it felt real in

05:09the moment. I was discouraged. I was upset. I was lonely. I was tired. I was thinking about

05:15how much money this is going to cost and getting overwhelmed. But you guys, I got myself back

05:21up and I would only say that I am even more hungry now. I'm going to finish this goal of

05:27visiting every single country in the world, whether I'm sad, whether I'm heartbroken or

05:33confused, or I wake up and I just don't feel that good that day or no matter how many times

05:39I get food poisoning or whatever the case may be, I'm doing this. So full steam ahead. I

05:49am in pursuit of heading back to Africa, but I need help. I have been trying to fundraise

05:56a ton these last few days. My goal was to raise 20k. That will help me with flights for my next

06:0442 countries that I plan on visiting this year. So if you can help, please do. Even

06:10if it's a $5 donation or a $10 donation, it helps. If all of us gave $5, we'd probably

06:19reach this goal. So even if it's $5 or $15, if you can donate to this mission, please do.

06:25I have my goal fund me down in the description box. If you want to donate, it would be so

06:33meaningful to me. And if you want to be a part of my live streams, I go live every night and

06:40I talk to you guys. And tonight we're going live, uh, trying to raise 2k $2,000. So if

06:48you want to join in during the live stream and be a part of the live, I would love if you joined

06:52in on my lives. If you can't just a donation to my goal fund me would mean the world to me

06:59and all the people who donate, I will be shouting you out. Uh, in my video tomorrow, I'll be saying

07:06your name so I can thank you. So if you don't want to be shout out, just put, you can just

07:10donate anonymously cause that's an option on go fund me. So if you don't want to be thanked,

07:15um, in my video, um, just put anonymous, but I will be shouting you out if you do donate. So I can let

07:24you know, uh, that your name is a part of this challenge that you are a part of this because

07:31it takes a village. I am not giving up. If anything, I have more grit, if anything. So

07:38I wanted to update you guys and I will see you very soon. I am heading back to Africa. Every day

07:44we get a little bit closer. I am hoping to raise this 20,000 before I head back so I could finish the

07:50entire continent. I love you guys so much. You have no idea how much it means to me that you

07:56guys are part of this goal of me trying to visit every country in the world. I am honored that you

08:01are along on this ride with me through the downs, through the highs, through the lows,

08:07through the food poisoning, through the discouragement, through the breakups,

08:10through the, all of it. You guys are with me and, uh, we're going to do this together. So I'll see you

08:17guys in our next video. I love you so much. God bless. Pray for me. Keep me in your prayers

08:27and I'll keep you in mine. Love you guys. Bye.
