Here’s Day 4 as continued from here;

Day 4: Places I want to visit

Ouuu this one is interesting. I am actually one of those women that aspire to have checked off all the countries in her passport, so help me God. I actually had a travel blog before but mad anxiety made me delete it. It’s so funny how getting in over ourselves has us tripping, and for no reason at all. For now I’m at 5/195. I’ll see if I can get more travel content on here, but let’s get into it.

Uganda

I’d love to see all parts of Uganda tbh, to document and also revel in the Ugandan glory that our scenic Pearl offers. I come from Jinja so best believe, I have a high standard when it comes to natural experience fulfilment, even though I haven’t exhausted the town. So I’ll start with home then branch out to the rest of the country. Although just a small list of about 10 spots, just to answer the question

  • Mushroom Tripping Vacation at Sipi Falls
  • And every other pretty place 🙂

Australia

Rumour has it that this is the devil’s lair so it’s really mixed feelings if I’m being honest. I’m not even a coward like that but I have no desire to tempt the devil. Miss me with that 🤍

I’ll keep updating but for now, day 4


Day 5: my parents

Okay… my parents are Paul George Bateeze and Genevieve Katherine Bateeze Bakibinga.

They’re pretty cool and I love them both very much. Mum represents the OG Jack of all trades in my life closely followed by Snoop Dogg. While growing up, we all feared her so much. We actually nicknamed her Hitler because every-time she’d open her door, it was like a world war. Everyone would run or take cover. Now that we’re older, we’re friends.

Dad is one of the kindest men I’ve ever met as he’s a really gentle soul. He slaves to put other people’s needs first and sometimes it’s at the expense of himself or his family but he still comes through. Over the years, watching him grow older, I see the pain in his eyes, the exhaustion but I learnt that it’s not my cross to bear, or carry. He chose the life he chose and that’s okay.
