About me

Hi! My name is Bisa, and I'm a breast cancer thriver, plus-size adventurer, writer, and photographer.

After finishing treatment for breast cancer, I received a 5-year survivorship plan. It included monthly, then quarterly test and doctor visits. Instead of worrying about whether or not the disease would return, I created a recovery plan of my own. My plan included exploring the world around me and new experiences.

The blog's mission is to remind you we can create a life we love despite our weight and circumstances. My goal is to inspire others to follow their dreams and not wait for a devasting diagnosis to live the life you've always wanted. I want to share the power of travel to help through anxiety, stress after having breast cancer.

Join me on my journey. I still have miles to travel

This year’s trip celebrating my cancerversary was to Iceland. Every year since I completed treatment from breast cancer, I make it a goal to travel to a new destination on or around November 4. Here is a recap of where I’ve been in the years that have passed. In 2016 I was in...

Hi, It’s me. Bisa. Do you remember me? I pop in every so often and write something. When I write my elevator pitch or attempt to tell people what my blog is about, I stumble over my words. I don’t know what the blog is about. I want to write about travel. I would also like to...

I wasn't going to share because my head is chopped off, and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Eight of the nine pictures are from that time I went to Tanzania and hiked up a mountain. You might have heard of it. Mount Kilimanjaro. 2019 has been an amazing year. Of course, there were some low points. But that's life. I'm looking forward to a new decade and whatever the future holds. #kilimanjaro #plussizebloggers #minoritytravelblogger #mylestotravel #plussizeadventure
Do you like my drunk snowman glasses? Lol. I had fun tonight at @kitaro.munster for paint and sip. The salmon wasn't included but it was delicious. #munsterindiana
The Alba White Truffles are grown in the Northwest Region of Langhe Monferrato Roero Italy. I had the opportunity to try something new. Representatives from Alba Italy tourism gave a presentation about how the locals find the truffles. You can tour wineries, hikes, and cycling. The area is a Unesco heritage site. All of the dishes were tried were delicious. arancino verde tajarin uovo gnocchetti Have you ever eaten White truffles before? I visited Rome over seven years ago. I can't believe it's been that long. I'm excited to go back in March. I'm not sure if I will be in Alba, but it is definitely on the list. #langheroero #monferrato
I have a new blog post about the performance of the A&A performance of The Art Deco Nutcracker. I use to think I watched a lot of tv growing up. The Nutcracker is something else I never saw growing up. I must have been waiting to see it live. I enjoyed the performances last night, and hopefully, I can make this a holiday tradition.
Another 5k done. You might notice a theme. First chocolate now cookies. 😉 We had fun at the @santahustle. I got my share of cookies. #santahustle
I'm put on Friday night at the ballet to see the Nutcracker for the first time. Set in 1920s America, A&A BALLET's "The Art Deco Nutcracker," featuring Tchaikovsky's beloved score, is a fresh, yet traditional take on the beloved holiday favorite. The Chicago Tribune has described it as "A glossy rendition filled with gorgeous, glitzy costumes" and The Cincinnati Enquire writes that Kremnev has "brought dance to a whole new level. "The Art Deco Nutcracker" is Kremnev's eig we know. Tickets were given to me. Photo Credits: Stagebill: Mine Others: Carol Fox and Associates Public Relations Tickets for A&A BALLET's "The Art Deco Nutcracker" range from $30-$50 and are available now at https://www.aacenterfordance.org/box-office.

I've already confessed to not being a Game of Throne fan. I still was excited to see the location where some of the episodes of the show were filmed. You never know, I could start watching it. This location is the black sand beach at Reynisfjara, near Vík on the south coast. Do you visit tv or movie locations when you travel? #iceland #gamesofthrones #travel #plussizetravelblogger #plussizetraveltoo #minoritytravelbloggers
Believe it or not, this is just one photo I took with my #Theta360 camera. I've been slowly editing my photos and videos. This is day five, I believe in #Kilimanjaro. The terrain was different every day. I was so amazed each day by the beauty of the mountain. I tried to soak in as much as it in as I could. Don't worry; a guide was never too far away from me. It looks like I'm the last person on earth. Have you hiked Kilimanjaro before? @whoatravel
