You know those old photos that used to take forever before you had them from the cameraman and/or studio? Those, coupled with scattered memories, were the only thing I had on Naivasha. And not Hell’s Gate. Lake Naivasha. I was there about 20 years ago, sigh. So I jumped right in when I heard some…
Nairobi, like most other cities, is that literal common ground. A place where everyone gets into with the hope of becoming something better – in most cases one (seemingly) has it figured out. Once in a while though, you meet a teacher who had hoped to be an engineer, a lady who just landed a…
Adventure is what defines us. Life is an adventure in itself. We could take adventure to imply uncertainty, adrenaline, hope, struggle, and excitement. Well, at least that’s my definition. We are such that the next minute is just as unpredictable as the next year. Faced with such incertitude, why not just dive in? Face all…
Myths and misconceptions have clouded the thoughts of most, making them miss out on what is otherwise one of the richest places on earth. Okay, to be fair, I am an optimist. Maybe Africa is not where we are supposed to be for one reason or the other. I can get political here but I…
Mount Everest has been on the news over the last few days for the wrong reasons – it cut short what were otherwise very promising lives. I don’t know what comes into your mind when the said mountain is mentioned. Personally, the only thing that comes into my mind is Nepal. Which is not news…
Mombasa is, in many ways, one of the best cities there is. There is too much diversity, and one never lacks things to see or do. It’s not uncommon to find yourself in a town for just a few hours. Maybe before you proceed to another town or country. What if that town is Mombasa?…
If you have made it through life without the help of anyone else, I doubt this post will interest you. Volunteering defines humanity since it is one of the ways one can make a difference – no matter how small. The beauty is that no one is too poor to give, and it’s one of…
We all strive to find the sweetness in our hearts – directly and/or indirectly. That explains why we seek new relationships, why we have to deal with heartbreaks… Well, it’s only after we discover the love in our hearts that we can see the same in others. We can go on and on about love,…
“Who sent me here?” That was one of the many questions I asked myself just a few hours after I landed in Kathmandu. I flew from India, and even through it’s about 1 hour from Delhi, I had to spend 11 hours of layover at the Delhi airport – was connecting from Pune. Anyways, I’m…

Keep the buzzing phone aside, tell your mommy you’ll be late but don’t miss out to read this ultimate guide to visit Singapore right now. I completely agree…
Maasai Mara is one of the most preferred places to do an African safari. First things first though. I’m so excited to do my first post on Kenya. One, it’s Kenya… two, I’m Kenyan. But seriously, I love Kenya so much, some people (wink) thinks its crazy! Whether you’re a Kenyan or not, there’s so…
India is one of the most diverse countries there is in the world. This may be because of the large population or the spicy food or its geographical location. Whatever you know India for, it is highly recommended as a travel destination. India has it all. Swim in the beaches, climb the mountains, skate in…
Having traveled across India for a few months now, I thought this post would serve to best introduce what have been some of the most amazing moments ever. What comes to your mind once India is mentioned? The Big Bang Theory? Crowded streets? Kurtas and saris? I decided to help those who hope to travel…
The comfort zone is just that – (superficial) comfort. Seriously, there is nothing else to it. Ready, Set… Go (No??) One of the scariest things in life is trying out something new. The comfort zone is, without a doubt, one of the best places to be. But life is changing, and fast. Humans are no…
