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. You don’t have to be Kenyan, young, old, travelled, male, female, straight. Just grab a cup of coffee and sit down with me. Hear - lies the story of a Kenyan traveler.

Nureyn Mwang'ombe's Expedition To Kenya

Nureyn Mwang'ombe joins me to speak about his time in Kenya, the United Kingdom, and the Islam faith.

After 9 years of knowing Nureyn, we dive into a few memories from Prep, share a few laughs and investigate further what it's like growing up in the UK, taking a 3 year expedition to Kenya, and being Muslim in a non-Muslim country.
