A Little About Me
I’m Emily — a wife, mom of three, and travel-loving storyteller sharing our family’s adventures from Uganda and beyond.
After returning to Uganda with my family, we’ve been exploring East Africa together and navigating everything from international flights with kids to weekend road trips and everyday life abroad. Here, I share practical travel tips, honest experiences, and the places that have become part of our family’s story.
Thanks for coming along on the journey.

Save Me a Seat at Our Table
We’re so glad you’re here.
Life is a little more meaningful when it’s shared.
About once a month, I sit down with a cup of tea and write a letter about what we’ve been noticing, learning, cooking, exploring, and celebrating in our little corner of Uganda.
It’s less like a newsletter…
and more like catching up with a neighbor.
If this sounds like your kind of place, go ahead and save yourself a seat.
