About Me

Hi! I'm Zita, a Rwandan blogger and content creator, currently living in China.

My passion for storytelling started at a young age, but it wasn’t until my cross-cultural experiences that I realized the power of sharing others' stories and my own. Beyond Borders is more than just a blog; it’s a platform for sharing inspiring stories, learning about different cultures and discovering new perspectives.

My spouse and I together, we have created a beautiful family that embraces both our heritages.

This blog aims to provide a glimpse into our daily lives, sharing the joys, challenges, and lessons we encounter as a blasian family. A space where we can celebrate our culture fusion and inspire others who may be navigating similar paths.

Thank you for being part of our family blog. Together, let's celebrate the beauty of diversity and the power of love.

I had been working since 7 am, welcoming hotel guests, taking bookings, answering calls, handing room keys to hotel guests, receiving payment, handing out receipts, and chit-chatting with hotel employees and guests. Hotel Ibis was launched during the colonial era, and its authentic Western cuisine attracts many tourists and foreigners in general. With 2 main entrances, one on the right side of the reception
