{Kenya in Film}

While I still have so many photos and memories to share with you about this trip, I am just not sure how to put it into words. I am working on several different pieces about the different aspects of this life changing adventure to share with you all in the upcoming days. Thanks for being so patient with me!

But anyways, here is a video I put together of my time in Kenya. I think videos really bring to life the emotions and beauty of this trip. Hope you enjoy!

I will be uploading photos, no worries! Have a wonderful Sunday :)

P.S. The shop is still up and running waiting for you to support! 15% of all profit goes back to Children of Promise.

Kenya | The Sun

This is the first true Kenya post out of God only knows how many. I have so many wonderful memories and thoughts to share with you about this trip. Tonight I am going to start with the beautiful scenery of the place because what comes to mind when you think of Africa? Hot, desert, poverty, disease? Let's just say this place completely flipped my view of Africa upside down. I am not positive what I was expecting when I arrived in Nairobi, but it definitely wasn't the lush, green mountain sides that I saw.

Everything about Kenya was a surprise: the people, the views, the weather, the hearts. I couldn't imagine a better bunch of people to be with for 3 weeks. I truly felt at home. Every morning I would wake up to a foggy morning and within a few beautiful moments the sun would rise through the fog and fill the sky. There is something about the Kenyan sunrise that makes the morning that much better. And the way the sun would shine on the hillside throughout the day was so spectacular. And then, the sunset. I can't even describe the African sunset to you. This is something you have to see for yourself.

Also, shameless self promotion coming up: You can buy prints of my Kenya/other travel photos here. It would be a great support if you want to purchase one or a few :) 15% of all profits will go to Children of Promis, the organization that I helped with in Kenya. Thanks! xxx
