2020 has shown us many things. We have learnt to accept the things we cannot change and adapt accordingly. One thing that was taken away from us was the ability to travel. Back then, we would all wait with bated breath for the president’s addresses, just in case he opened or closed something again. So […]
Category: Travel
Every once in a while, I travel. And when I do, I take mental notes because I am going to share the experience as soon as I can. It gives me great joy to relive the experience in words and pictures.
About Addis
We went to Addis and saw a lot of things. Amharic. Injera. Ambo water. Coffee. Museums. Kutembea kwingi, kuona mengi.
Lovely London
First of all, I know their ancestors were our colonizers but I love a lot of British things. The accent. The history. The series that come from that place: Sherlock. Merlin. The Bodyguard. The Crown (the reason I subscribed to Netflix). Arsenal at a certain teenage point in my life. A lot of things. Bernard’s […]
Joburg in a Jiffy
I have stared at this white space for a minute now. A lot can go through your mind when you have a lot to do. And when several new things are happening in your life. Like when you get into a flight and find familiar food, because it’s KQ and you’re at home in the […]
An Alpine Affair
After getting lost in Madrid, I came back to my comfort zone for a week then headed out the next Saturday to Marseille. I was very anxious about this trip to France because it was going to be loooooong. When I say long, I mean very long. Why? Because cheap is expensive. As a newbie, […]
Madrid Maze
It’s been a while since I wrote. I guess I keep saying that. But oh well, here we are again. Anyway, this post is going to be about Spain. A week ago, I was in Madrid (Or rather, when I started writing this post it was a week ago). And that was fun. Let’s list […]
Kampala Goodness
Someone keeps saying I should do more travel pieces, but I keep fighting it, in the spirit of keeping things under wraps. But something changed this time, and I thought it’s good to talk about travelling in its true unInstagrammable form. It started with missing my flight. You do not want to ever miss your […]
SGR Manenos
(Do people still say manenos?) I was thinking of what to write today then I remembered I should have written about being on a train for the first time in my life. Okay, fine, I have been on the miniature train. The tiny train that remained the biggest reason I looked forward to Show every […]
Newbie in Nanyuki: Day Three
Ol Pejeta Conservancy. You cannot come to Nanyuki and not go to this place. A few days ago, the friend who recommended this place sent me a Business Daily article about the tycoon who popularized both Mount Kenya Safari Club and Ol Pejeta. I will not write this one chronologically because things fell into place […]
Newbie in Nanyuki: Day Two
Continued from Newbie in Nanyuki Sunday was blend-into-the-community day. And what better way to do this than to go to church. When I was getting lost yesterday, I spotted one PCEA church and one Baptist church down the road from the hotel. However, a friendly guard told me that the PCEA in town was much better […]
Newbie in Nanyuki
Guys, I did it. I took the road alone and found myself in Nanyuki. Thanks to the urging of someone very close to me and a few calls (thanks 🙂 ), I am here on my first solo trip. I thought about visiting one of our neighbouring countries and then it hit me, I haven’t even seen […]
Kisses from Kisii
No, I am not in Kisii. I was though and that’s what matters. I just wanted to use that title. First of all, Kisii is the most beautiful town I have ever approached at night in Kenya. That’s not saying much because I am not the most well-travelled person in the world, but on the […]
MIA Things
I’m seated in this room, my swivel chair positioned right where the A/C fan blows its good stuff. I’m listening to this insurance guy. A new friend. Maybe friend is too big a word. Acquaintance. That’s it. He is telling me about life insurance. The first person in a while to convince me that I need […]
Come and Go with Me to Eldoret!
If I had it my way, this blog would probably be a travelogue. I love travelling, but the only place I travel to is Eldoret. That makes it complicated because I never like coming back to it. But a girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do. I might as well enjoy the […]
