All that has a beginning has an end but what a caterpillar calls the end a butterfly calls it the beginning. The last day means the end of the trip but on this particular trip, it meant the beginning of new memories and friendships for me. Breakfast, shower, unpitched tents and off we set for takawiri island on a water bus. Takawiri island is one of the 19 islands on Lake Victoria; the lake...
My tent mate Njuguna woke me up at 6:00 am to go catch the sunrise but being more of a sunset person I decided to snooze his wakeup call to around 6:15 am. “Wake up Yvonne, sunrise means a new chance and day to start all over again,” He said. “And sunset means time to […]
Heard the slogan “sihami kilimani mums”? That is soo me. Why should I leave after finding a Rusinga island trip posted there? Why should I leave when I make sales there? Why should I leave when I have purchased good stuff from the sellers in it? Social media usage? It all depends on what you choose to do with it
Remember when you couldn’t wait to get to form 2 or 3 to drop some of the subjects? That was Yvonne in 2010! History vs geography? I had no second thoughts when it came to this two.

See, I am...
A few days ago I got an invitation to cycle with a group of 10-15 others in search of adventure. I hesitated, bearing in mind the last time I was on the 2-wheel machine I fell terribly almost breaking my leg. My body said no but my heart said yes COUNT ME IN." But wait, how many Kilometers will we cover? Is there a ‘kibandaski’ (small hotel with a kiosk structure)on our way where we can have...
last day of 2016 was on a fine Saturday, making 1st January a Sunday. It’s a family tradition to be home over the festive season but on this particular one, my Dad and Our firstborn Kevin were absent for reasons we all understood. This left us with mum, alphine and I. Alphine being an early bird when it comes to sleeping left for bed at around 9.00pm. Mum and her girl stayed by the fireside...
