Fearless traveler Shataya P. is self-proclaimed “just a Harlem girl living in an international world.” No lies were told - she has seemingly been everywhere, from Thailand, Egypt, and Cuba, to Costa Rica, Italy, and Colombia. She hits Instagram with the cutest of poses and outfits, looking fly everywhere she goes and exuding pure joy in her wanderlust. Here are only seven (of many) times we have been both inspired by and very jealous of Shataya.



CAPPADOCIA, TÜRKIYE



POSITANO, ITALY



PARIS, FRANCE

ANTIOQUIA, COLOMBIA



RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL



QUEPOS, COSTA RICA



CAIRO, EGYPT



The list goes on, so be sure to follow Shataya @____intaynational89 to see more of where she’s been. We’re excited to see what other journeys come her way.
