I was born in the Tanzanian city of Dar es Salaam. I enjoy traveling, going on hikes, taking pictures, and making videos.
There is nothing that I have done more passionately than venture out to enjoy the beauty that our nation and nature have to offer, having lived and traveled through nearly every major city in my country.
Greetings from Tanzania. We say "KARIBU" (welcome) in Swahili.
