OnetouchLive Lake Nakuru

It had been five months since I’d been on a OnetouchLive and my body showed it. There was greying around my trigger finger, with the occasional shivering of the skin around the elbows whenever I saw an overland truck on the highway.

Mt Kenya Sunrise

I spent four years schooling on the slopes of Mt Kenya and I can’t recall mustering the courage to brave the morning chill to get a glimpse of the sunrise over Kenya’s highest mountain. The blankets were either too heavy or a certain magnetic force always pinned me down to my bed around sunrise.
