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

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...

A Weekend in Southern Indiana

I went on a weekend getaway to Southern Indiana. It was a four-hour drive from Northwest Indiana. I attended the Thunder over Louisville Kentucky watch party at Buckhead Mountain Grill in Jeffersonville, Indiana. This event was to kickoff the three-weeks of festivals leading up to the...

Here's a fun picture I took on Day 3 on Kilimanjaro with my 360 camera. I have a lot of pictures and video that I have not edited. I don't have a reason why. I guess I didn't have the time.
@miaadventura and I got up early to watch the sunrise over Memphis. I revisited The Big River crossing. I was screaming and afraid to walk across it one year ago. It wasn't as scary as I remember. See the link in my profile.

@sheswanderful posted a challenge to share a picture in your swimsuit. This picture is buried in my feed somewhere. I didn't make it the first picture on purpose. I did put it in my stories that day, but I knew it would disappear. I had never worn a bikini before or shared any pictures of myself on social media where I wasn't covered. Honestly, most of my friends had never seen me in a swimsuit. If I went to a beach I had on shorts. I brought it with me because I knew I was going to be around supportive plus-size women. This was taken after I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with the @curvykilicrew. I reached 15,485 feet elevation in this body it could definately wear a bikini. Tanzania is one of my favorite countries because it is beautiful, and it is where I faced a lot of my fears. I left feeling stronger than before and not afraid to wear a swimsuit.
Throwback Thursday, I went skydiving. What I remember the most is how quiet it was. I would do it again and I did. Not sure where the pictures are.
I have a confession to make. I have gone rock climbing before. It was about 20 years ago, and I had only done it once. I've always had an adventurous side. I hadn't had any training and didn't know what I was doing. It was part of a weekend of adventures with the boot camp I was attending at the time. I went skydiving the day before. (picture coming soon) Not sure why I don't have on a helmet. 😮 This was before Instagram but I stopped for a picture and then came down. 😂
I probably should have done this first. I went down the wall before climbing up. 😂 Now I'm even. #womenwhoexploreillinois #outsideexperience

I met Travel Journalist and pilot @kelleesetgo and Travel host @worldwidenate at the @outside_experience. They’re both from Chicago. Kelle is speaking tomorrow on the Yeti Stage.
