WELCOME TO THE ROCKY SAFARI
HI, I'M ROCKY

I'm Rocky from The Rocky Safari
 

SAFARI MEANS JOURNEY
IN THE SWAHILI LANGUAGE

Hey, I'm Rocky Trifari! For 9 years and counting, I have been documenting my craziest misadventures while traveling the world. Blogging, backpacking, and birds are some of my greatest passions. As an introvert, I have fallen in love with solo travel and learned how to connect with nature. On The Rocky Safari, I'll show you how to explore, embrace long-term travel, and design your dream lifestyle.
