Hello, I’m Stacey Peters
I’m an Army Brat and military (Army) spouse for 29 years. We’ve raised two kids– one Navy and one former Air Force. Steven and I have built a home in nine different locations and endured seven deployments. So far, we’ve traveled to over 60 countries across three continents. And I’ve written about most of them right here. I am a storyteller. I strive to deliver reliable, high-quality content, focusing on practical advice for military spouses, black women, and women over 50.
However, my blog goes beyond telling stories—I invite my readers to experience them. Covering slow travel, military life, wellness, and food adventures, my stories resonate with everyone who loves travel. Join me to learn helpful travel tips, taste local dishes, explore vibrant neighborhoods, meet interesting locals, and capture the essence of every place I visit.
The Magic of Slow Travel
Slow traveling shapes a unique lifestyle, especially for military families. Over 30 years of moving to new home countries every few years, I’ve embraced new cultures and found joy in every fresh start. From discovering the prettiest cafes and coffee shops to exploring vibrant markets, each relocation offers unique adventures. As a woman over 50, I also share insights on the best hikes worldwide, blending physical activity with cultural exploration.

A Complete Guide: Best K-beauty Products for Black Skin
Before moving to South Korea, my skincare routine was minimal at best—if I managed to wash my makeup off before bed, I considered it a win. Back then, I didn’t think I needed a skincare regimen. You’d never guess that was the case; I’m a skincare enthusiast. Although I don’t use all these products daily, I’ve found several favorites among Korean skincare offerings that are great for anti-aging, reducing hyperpigmentation, and enhancing skin brightness.
