Sanam Saigol flies us all the way to Africa. From enjoying spectacular views, to spending time in the wilderness, she shares her life-changing trip

Experiences make you grow. They make you the best you will ever be. I have spent the last two months travelling and exercising my inner adventurer. The itch in me this year managed the extreme north of Pakistan all the way down to the southern end of Africa. As all great journeys make you grow, my first time in Africa had more to offer than just the contentment of travelling. The energy, the vibes, spirit and air have occupied parts within me that made me trust this earth a little bit more. This world is a truly beautiful place and sometimes we don’t value it enough!

Sanam Saigol ex fianc e. | 1 week ago | Reply I was engaged to Sanam the girl who wrote this article she went to Thailand for holidays whilst I stayed home working 15 hrs a day to save up to pay for our wedding and to get her into the UK and for our future together. She constantly rang me whilst she was on holidays and I was home working just to tell me she was going for drinks with other men. My respond to that was why do you insist in calling me whilst I m working to tell me this. This was all during the Christmas season. She told me that that behaviour was normal there jumping on the back of random mens motorbikes and going with them for drinks. I told her next time just don t tell me.. she made it into a issue saying I needed to see a therapist saying that I was traumas dumping. She then tells me that she s going to a near by island for a few weeks and from there back to lahore. She goes incognito during Christmas only to text me on Christmas day I replied to the text with Merry Christmas and then she response with I texted you by mistake I don t want to chat to you.. then on the 29th December 2024 she text me saying that she s going to phuket early for new year. She has no accommodation there but knows a guy. She goes incognito during new year day. Then on the 2nd of January she breaks up with me by text saying that she doesn t date mentally disabled people and that I am mentally disabled. This is your guest Sanam Saigol sanamsaigol . All she kept on saying was that I ruined her holiday. She extracted money from me to pay for things such as visas accommodation hotels and even compensation for the socal ruin holidays and then cut all contact.
