@annabelleegolden: first day back on the bikes!!!! and it was.. not my favorite. maybe the worst day ever? I’m sorry for being quite negative here, it was just a really hard and rotten day and I had a lot to say about it and wanting to be truthful to my experience. hope you don’t hold the negativity against me and just know I’m doing my best. 🫶🏻 I also just want to add a disclaimer that I 100% recognize that I am a visitor here and have the capacity and privilege to come and go *mostly* as I please. I also want to recognize that the DRC is a very complicated place with many past and ongoing systemic struggles and harsh conflicts that continue to impact the lives of millions who live here. Still though, I felt it was important to be truthful to my experience, to share honestly about what I saw and experienced. I’m never trying to influence/de-influence anyone about a particular place, I’m just trying to document and share through my personal and specific lens, an authentic retelling of my travels throughout. #travel #traveling #traveltok #traveltiktok #cycling #cyclist #bikepacking #biketravel #adventuretravel #travelgirl #travellife #travelvlog

“I know that’s hard to say and probably won’t come across well…” I say this as I lie in the comfort of my own bed, and I didn’t have the day that you had, but there’s definitely a way to talk about a country and its people both truthfully AND respectfully, even when you’re not enjoying your experience, or circumstances are bleak

@anabelle please don’t feel bad. I used to fly corporate for 10 years. And flying in and out of the Congo was of the hugest hassles I’ve had in my life. Mind you we paid for a company to handle all our papers and still were bullied into paying off the record tips
