Kisumu City!


I've moved! I'm now working and living in Kisumu, which is turning out to be a great place to live, the paceof life is very relaxed. The first couple of days I was choking on the humid air, but now I'm used to the heat and enjoying it. It is also a very bicycle friendly city - there are way more bicycles than cars. Never thought I'd see bumper-to-bumper bicycle traffic! The best thing so far is my new commute to work, which consists of a 15 minute walk on this road:


I do not know how I ever managed my previous two hour commute in Nairobi traffic!

Hey lovelies. Sorry I've been away for a while. I've been a consumer rather than a producer of internet content this past month. I just wanted to share with you guys the official Furaha Project Pinterest board featuring fun stuff about style, hair, crafts, fitness and general happiness. Let me know what you think!
