The Life of a Kenyan Who is Never in Kenya episodes

  • The Things I Learned from Studying Abroad (why didn't anyone tell me?)

    Travelling abroad. The most romanticised thing on the globe. Many say that their ideal is travelling the world while others wish to stay close to home. 

    My experience of studying abroad includes a long list of failures and successes, and at the same time, a hell of a lot of learnings as a result. 

    In this episode I give to you the things that I have gained from continental travel. These are the things that you need to know before you file for that passport. 

    Tune in to hear the experiences that have shaped my opinions, and a little extra...

    Remeber to tune in every Sunday for new episodes on the Life of a Kenyan Who is Never in Kenya!

  • The Bad Habits That South Africans Share...

    Why did you ask me that? Like generally, why? This is the same question I asked myself every time a South African asked me a condescending question. So was it racism? xenophobia? stereotyping? tokenisation? You'll only know when you tune into this weeks episode about the bad habits that South Africans share. 

    Let me know what you think once you listen.

    I hope you have a lovely week ahead and tune in every Sunday for new episodes.

    Next week's episode will be about the things that I have learned while studying abroad - talk to you then!

  • Social Icks That Higher My Blood Pressure

    Do you also have social icks? The things that people do that absolutely irritate you to your core and you CANNOT even begin to imagine having a conversation with anyone that does these things? This episode will unpack some of my most intolerable social icks and make you understand why they bother me so much. Let's see whether we have the same towards social settings or not. 

    Let me know what your social icks are and if any of yours align with mine!

    In next weeks episode we will be discussing the social habits that South Africans share that bother me - Yes I know, ALOT of things bother me LOL. 

    Tune in next Sunday for this episode!

    This weeks episode brings to you the reality of teenage temptations. From underaged drinking, sex and relationships, I unpack these adolescent desires while examining whether it is really worth it to take part. I will give you my experience, while hoping to guide a 15 year old from making the wrong decisions. 

     I hope you enjoy and tune in for next weeks episode - same time, same place on 'The Life of A Kenyan Who's Never in Kenya'.

About The Life of a Kenyan Who is Never in Kenya

From the publisher's feed

The colourful coded complexion of a summer day are coinciding the chaos of an internal indigo confession of a panicky new life. I’m 16 years old. I blink my eyes and I’m in a new country, I have new friends, and I am a different person. I’ve changed, they’ve changed, we’ve changed. A podcast investigating the Kenyan life abroad in laughs and a marvellous mix of people, prospects, and places.
