    A few things crossed my mind when I was dangling on a rope over Kali Gandaki River in Kushma: In case you missed it, those were my reflections from my little solo rendezvous to Nepal. Now to the juicy stuff, what I did and how much it cost me 😊 I entered Nepal to the…

    It took everything in me to draw myself out of the blissful state; you know when you’re on a plane or in a car and you look out and just blank out and start playing non-existent scenario in your head? That’s a me thing? Oh well. I’ll be here when you’re ready to admit that…

    I can still see it- in Addis, running on the three hours of sleep I managed to snag on the flight, and wondering if I have enough activities to keep myself busy till I catch my flight six hours later. Then, I had the idea to take this trip with my mom and niece. This…

    Hello, my fellow travel enthusiasts! Since my first day of work, I knew I wanted to embark on a road trip across various countries.

    I finished my final exam for my Electrical and Electronics Engineering degree on 14th December 2022. I remember very clearly that it was a Wednesday. Four days later, on Saturday 17th December at about 5:55 am, I boarded Tahmeed from Nairobi to Dar-es-Salaam, and about one-fifth of my trip began. As is customary whenever I…

    Photo by Anna Gru on Unsplash A conversation with Felistus on August 5th 2023 2128hrs The specificity of the time- that’s from this little trick I started where I add time stamps when I’m journaling because I journal up to five times a day.

    I’m seated at Addis on my layover, laptop about to die and my cable is not suited to the charging ports they have at the airport. If someone had told Felistus at the start of the year that she would be seated in Addis on her way from Ghana and Ivory Coast she would laugh…

    I literally had to force myself to put down the book I was reading (Hanya Yanagihara you beautiful genius) because more than three hours into my flight, I was yet to get started on the skeleton of this blog and it’s something I was very committed to getting done on this flight. So, whilst looking…

    I’m writing this trip’s blog on my flight back home because once bitten, twice shy people- we all know what happened with the Sri Lanka trip blog and I will not be making the same mistake again. Quick back story, I had wanted to take this trip to Jordan last year in December during the…
