“ It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I’ve gone and come back, I’ll find it at home.” – Rumi


Sojourner travels like she meditates – on both feet, with deliberate steps. Her great travel goal is to visit every country in Africa taking photographs to document her journey.

Growing up in Rochester, New York, Sojourner’s first major brush with culture shock came when she moved to Manhattan to attend school. Jolted into an unshakable curiosity, her wanderlust had begun.

Her first major trip was a jaunt across the pond to merry England where she crashed for a few weeks with a friend studying in Westminster. One trip soon led to the next and before she could identify what had hit her, she had visited nearly every continent and included travel among the great loves of her life.

Fascinated by culture, history, and indigenous healing traditions, she has volunteered, lived and journeyed her way around nineteen countries.

Whether working at an orphanage in Cape Coast, Ghana, painting fishing boats in Kao Lak, Thailand, exploring the Algerian suburbs of Paris in search of white honey, or sampling the rum in Barbados, traveling to support locals and giving back to her host communities is a priority.

Published both in print and online, Sojourner relates stories from her travels with humor and heart. The administrator of a travel blog, she feels fortunate to be able to share her experiences with others.

A yoga instructor, Ayurvedic nutrition consultant, and creator of organic handmade lotions, Sojourner lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband and their conspicuously loquacious cat. She can often be found rambling along the streets at twilight or sipping wine and tea by the window in her favorite writing chair.
