About Nathalie

My name is Nathalie and I am a Haitian American travel nurse that LOVES to travel! Hence the name, Globetrotting RN. My travels have been to over 10 countries and counting. My nursing career which started in 2011, has a taken me to both coasts of the United States and I’m not sure when or if I will stop. I am at the amazing age of 32 and I truly love to travel and create a life that I enjoy!

When Africa Stole My Heart

Excerpt from Globetrotting Travel Nurse

Why Ghana and Nigeria, why not South Africa? Why did you choose West Africa instead of the other countries that are well known? I was asked this question by many races, ages, and genders. I 100% believe that as a Haitian American, I have West African roots. In addition, Africa has been on my mind since around my 30th birthday. Due to low planning and friends without passports, those dreams ended. Fast forward to year 32 and Africa was still on my mind. Therefore, I began making my plans early. I researched a few countries that I wanted to visit in West Africa and eventually narrowed my list down to Ghana and Nigeria. Choosing West Africa for my first visit was the best decision ever because this is how Africa stole my heart!
