I am a Kenyan born and raised in Nairobi. I love traveling and taking videos and pictures. I am one person who loves learning new languages, so far I can speak 5. I have traveled and lived in almost all the big cities in my country and there is nothing that is always passionate such as going out to see the beauty that this country and nature provide. Welcome to Kenya. In Swahili, we say -''KARIBU''- meaning welcome
