MY BACKGROUND
I live in one of the coolest little estates on the planet - Langata-: in the Nairobi Metropolitan, Kenya. About 100,000 population, with a small portion professionally in the general arts.The conversations in this estate are to die for! And it's beautiful, if you like gala nights and probably art galleries,great sunsets with a combination of low-key chilly weather almost all year round and a variety of well-blended native culture. It's also a serious foodie city if you're so inclined:- Great restaurants and spas!.This is a tiny corner of my world.Anyone who wants to visit?✷‿✷

PASSION AND INTERESTS
I grew up as a city lad with a passion for photography, talking to people and writing and somehow I found a way to make that into a call of duty that has allowed me to meet people who do incredible things, spend a lot of time learning about it and then communicate it to others. It is surreal at times to think how much I have come to enjoy this art.
I didn't know medicine and surgery would be my place, but a series of incredible people encouraging me really took hold. I remember when I would return to the countryside (Bungoma, Western Kenya) excited about having been on a medical trip for a couple of days and as I shared that with others, feeling like people thought I was crazy. So I started telling more about the medical side of things. The world has certainly changed in how interested people are in medical science.
Having a passion for making a chain of friends around the globe,I embraced social media as a way to connect stories and people early on and have been personally sharing my interest in Medicine since I stumbled on it. I hopped on Facebook early as a kid and attracted a fairly good mass of productive friends.
I have always had a real passion for travel. I took a year between junior and senior high school to kick back and traveled a tiny bit. I have been saving up for hike equipment and trips most of my childhood! I recently visited Mombasa and have been to a number of local states..on my pocket. The south coast (adjacent to the North Eastern horn of Tanzania) is on my bucket list.
I love the cold seasons...cold weather seems to call me up and playing video games is a major way of finding peace. Even better if I can take a break "off school" and make time for it!!😂
