About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn Swahili.

ABOUT ME

I live in Kenya. I love to travel, seeing new things and places and meeting people. My travel plans/ whishes include sailing on Lake Tanganyika and Lake Malawi, Congo, Comorro Islands and maybe Quirimbas Islands in Mozambique. I probably won't have time/money for all of it though.

I like cooking and baking and learning new recipes. I used to dumpster dive in Denmark, but I don't think anyone throws away food here in Africa, luckily.

PHILOSOPHY

Changing all the time.
