Happy happy birthday to this cutie. I'd drop mountains and forests and swamps for you any day. #justafling 😂😂😂

Probably one of my favorite pics from this holiday break. My place was a zoo, but it was the best kind of zoo.

On my last day in Kenya, I made my way back to Mombasa to catch a flight to Nairobi, but my tuk tuk driver dropped me off in the middle of Old Town, the oldest part of Mombasa, instead of the airport (miscommunication?). Since I had 6 hours to spare, I walked around the neighborhood with all my stuff. Eventually I ran into Mody and Imran, who were heading home from work at a nearby hostel. They offered a place for me to store my things, and in my remaining hours in Mombasa, shared a bit of their stories and showed me a view of Old Town from the bay. The backpacker community is so full of welcoming and empathetic people who are curious about the world and the people in it, and I'm thankful to be a part of it.

One of my favorite things about traveling is not really having a plan and seeing where the wind takes me. During my last week in Kenya, I went to coastal Kilifi and made reservations to stay at @distantrelativeskilifi for two nights and ended up staying the entire week. It's the most eco-friendly hostel I've ever experienced with even friendlier staff, guests, and local community. During the week we daytripped to Watamu and Malindi, visited ecoworld (a nonprofit dedicated to recycling and waste management through education/health promotion), scuba dived in the bay alongside dolphins (no pics due to no waterproof camera, womp womp) and more. 🌍🌊

Kenya isn’t all safaris and grasslands. It’s also got creeks, white sand beaches, and abandoned coastal hotels.

Been slacking on my IG game, and I need to give shoutouts to a few people for making this trip happen. First of all, thank you @gavinwaits for inviting me along and being such a delightfully chill travel pal. I probably would have waited another decade before doing this trip if you weren’t like “Oh! Cheap flights to Kenya!” Thank you to Peter for connecting us with his family and planning out the whole damn thing for us. Thank you Cecilia (@mutave_miss) and Dickson for showing us around Nairobi, Lake Navaisha, and being all around amazing hosts. BIG SHOUT OUT to Benjamin, James (@sensational_adventures), and Kamande for coming in clutch by driving up to Nakuru early in the morning at the last minute to save us from idiot Joseph and making the rest of the trip a success (seriously, if you ever come to Kenya, reach out to James, he’s an AMAZING tour guide). And thanks to Joseph for threatening to leave us on the side of a highway and making us spend 3 hours at a Kenyan police station. I mean, thanks for the story.

Despite a mild mishap, we had a wildly spectacular time in Kenya, and it was all due to the amazing hospitality of our hosts. This is definitely a trip to remember.
