For some of you, this is the first time you have heard from me since I left for Kenya. I have had an incredible five months in a beautiful country that I have started to call home. I arrived in Nairobi to give what I could to The 1010 Project and the people of East Africa, but the people here and their relationships have instead been a gift to me[ READ MORE ]
Now that I know I will be leaving Kenya, I am on a mission to see as much of it as I can. Today I went Hiking with Mountain Club of Kenya. We knocked out a fairly difficult hike up a smaller mountain outside of Nairobi. I just posted the album so go check out the pics! [ READ MORE ]

The late night chef takes a seat next to me & asks how I find my meal, Kenya & Eastlands (the area I am in). I lie a bit and tell him that I love all three. I offer him a smoke and we light up together. I notice two women walking down the street & suggest that it is a bit dangerous for “mamas” to be walking around this time of night.

I arrived in Nairobi on Sunday. This is important because I was confident that I was supposed to land on Saturday… …Next time I will pay a bit more attention to the details, especially the 10 hour layover in Amsterdam. I have been staying with the Mulwa family. They are incredibly kind & generous hosts. [ READ MORE ]
I’m sitting in what is as close to home as I get: A friends house in the woods of North Georgia a few yards away from the Bartram Trail. In the late 1700′s William Bartram set off to explore the southern colonies. He documented his travels & is known as one of the earliest naturalists [ READ MORE ]
Tomorrow is my last day in Kenya. It’s unfortunate that my ability to write has been limited to my second day here & now my second to last. This trip was not what I expected. There was very little magic. I had a few of those energizing moments that I normally get when exploring a [ READ MORE ]
26 hours later I arrived in Nairobi. A long journey; Denver-Detroit-Amsterdam-Nairobi. Small world though. I ran into familiar Colorado faces during my layover in the Netherlands! In Kenya I was greeted by Fred, 1010′s Kenyan Director, & my dear friend Mackenzie. 5 minutes after leaving the airport I spotted a herd of Zebras on the [ READ MORE ]
I am leaving for my first trip to Kenya on Sunday. I will be staying in & around Nairobi until Nov 25th. This trip is mainly a scouting/vision trip. I will be looking for places to live, introducing myself to 1010 partners, & building out a budget for this next year’s adventure. I should return [ READ MORE ]
