I am a liar.
I lie with a smile
plastered on my face
when the world is crumbling
around me.
I lie
to ease the pain
of strangers
just to witness a glimpse
of hope on their faces.
I lie
to erase the guilt
of loved ones who neglect
me during my dark times.
I have been lying my entire life.
Spewing words of encouragement
that I didn’t believe,
for others to succeed.
I am am a liar.

I was born in Guyana (South America), and moved to Brooklyn, New York just shy of becoming a teenager. Though Brooklyn was my home for more than half of my life, my heart remained in Guyana. Talk about being torn in two!
I think I was bitten by the Wanderlust Bug at a young age. Too broke to travel, I read instead. And you know what they say about reading? (They say a lot of things so any quote you choose may work for this purpose). Due to an unhealthy obsession with books, I developed a passion for writing & telling stories. I like my writings most times.
I once called Italy home. Whilst there in Europe, I explored and wrote as much as I could. It was there I came up with the concept of "Roaming Kitty". Upon returning to the US my passion dwindled especially during the pandemic. Recently I, along with a few amazing people, worked on revamping the blog.
Please feel free to stick around for my continued journey around the world -- or if you have something better to do perhaps bookmark me and return later?
Come for the photos, and stay for the words.
