  Hi there!

  The domain you mentioned used to be registered with WordPress.com under a different account. If that account was yours too – it looks like you let the domain expire a couple of years ago.
  After the domain expires it goes through a lengthy process before it’s released to the public. Once released, anyone can register it, and it seems that this is what happened here. You can see here that somebody else owns the domain now:

  https://www.whois.com/whois/browngirltravels.com.

  I’d suggest looking for a similar domain name, you can choose a different extension (TLD):
