Nairobi is the capital and largest city of Kenya. The name Nairobi comes from the Maasai phrase 'Enkare Nyorobi', which translates to 'the place of cool waters'. However, it is popularly known as the 'Green city in the sun'.
Throughout the 1990s, Nairobi had struggled with rising crime, earning a reputation for being a dangerous city and the nickname 'Nairobbery'. In 2001 the United Nations rated Nairobi as among the most insecure cities in the world.

Up at 6am. Got a lift to school with Daniel. Arrived at school very hungry so I ate my chocolate bar. At 9am, the pre-unit teacher came to my classroom and told me that I was not going to be teaching the little ones any more, just the ones later in the day.

Went to break and had chai. I talked to the other student teac...

The image I took of the leopard was an amazing experience. A colleague at Nairobi University had arranged for a driver to collect me very early so that we could get out into the park at dawn. Which we did, not sure how they managed it but we were the first vehicle on the park that morning. At first we saw very little as it was quite dark but as the sun rose we managed to see more and more. From the lower plain it was hard to see too much so the guide (Harry) decided to get some height. We wen...

There is no doubt, if you are feeling any kind of stress at work, just follow this travel itinerary! I dont think I have ever been so relaxed… Hacuna Matata (no problem, take it easy in Swa...

Sept. 23: I am currently on the airplane flying to Amsterdam! And Im
flying over the Sahara right now! Nothing but sand for miles Anyway,
this morning was quite the fiasco. I woke up at 4 to make sure I had
time to make myself look decent. I am determined to get off the plane
in Paris looking fresh! I am totally decked out in my Maasai jewelry.
Im trying to go for the Maasai Parisienne look. Haha, talk about a
clash of cultures! We had to leave at 5 to get to Nairobi in time for
my fli...
