After 3 Years of Hiking, What’s Next?

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.😏 I can’t believe it’s already been 3 plus years of exploring the trails around our beautiful country. I had done a few hikes before the pandemic, but things kicked into high gear after Covid. From September 2020 until now you would think that I’ve done it all, but nope. There’s so much more to see in Kenya. So what’s next?

Hiking Through The Alphabet

Hello peeps, can you believe June is over? The year is half done already! Is it just me or time is moving at 2X speed? 😮 Anyway, I thought this time I’d do a different kind of post—outlining the Let’s Drift hikes I’ve done so far in alphabetical order.

Let’s go!

8 Years a Traveller

I don’t know when travel became synonymous with flights out of the country. You can pause here, open a new tab and search for ‘travel’—I bet the first few thousand image results will be of a suitcase, passport, and an airport. If you mention local tourism as part of travel, people look at you sideways. For me, though, some of the best experiences I’ve had in the past 8 years have come from touring my awesome home country: Kenya.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Hello peeps! Can’t keep calm, it’s my birthday. 😎💃🏾 And what a year it’s been. I went through some pretty heavy challenges but I have lots to thank God for. I didn’t fall sick (not even a cold), new opportunities opened up for my business, and I surpassed the number of hikes I did last year. Here’s a summary of my 2022 adventures with Let’s Drift.

Scaling Ihiga ria Guoya

If you’ve been following my adventures for a while, you know that I’m a fan of forest hikes. There’s something just so special about forests. Especially those that have rivers and waterfalls- their atmosphere is incredibly rejuvenating. As much as I love forests, sometimes I explore different kinds of terrain for a change. And so in September I decided to do the Ihiga ria Guoya trail by Let’s Drift.

My Blog Turns 7!

Hey peeps, it’s wild thinking about the fact that I’ve been writing on here for 7 years. What a ride it has been. What a ride. Let’s take a trip back in time, shall we?

2021, The Year of the Drift.

First things first, happy birthday to me! 💃🏾😎 Another trip around the sun, and all that. It’s unbelievable that the year is almost over. Wasn’t January 1st just the other day? Sometimes it felt like life was moving too fast. You blink and two weeks have passed. Adulting + being in a paronamic is not a joke. One of the things that helped me stay sane is Drifting- hence the title of this post. Dive in and see what that’s been like…

Drifting Through Bathi

After being active on hikes in July and early August, I found myself taking a break. Partially due to financial constraints, and partially because I needed something different, I guess. But I was still outside with Let’s Drift. After the Githobokoni hike, I attended Art Therapy in Ngong Hills, the Unplug and YogArt (Yoga + Art) experiences at Oloolua Forest, and City Art Tour in the CBD. And that’s how two months passed before my next hike.

The Long Awaited Return

Some people say that if you stay for long without doing something you’re good at, it will still be waiting for when you get back to it. Others believe that your creative muscles will atrophy from lack of use, and you might never be able to do it as well as before. What do you think? I’d say I was of the opinion that it depends on the situation. However, I was still apprehensive about an art form that I hadn’t engaged in for years. And this post is all about that.

Out of Town Shoot and Chill

If you read my previous post, you know I’m not a fan of cold weather. It makes me unable to function properly until it gets warmer. Sometimes I think I may be cold-blooded… Despite that, I was out on another Tembea Kenya adventure on 23rd May- at a location even colder than the weekend before.
