At 17, I realised I was living a life I didn't want.

Over the next decade I rebuilt myself through education, fitness, entrepreneurship, engineering and relentless self-development.

Eventually, I achieved many of the things I thought would make me happy.

Yet something was still missing.

So I left.

On 23 October 2025, I walked out of Manchester and began a journey to Kenya, the country where I was born.

Not because Kenya itself was the answer, but because every journey needs a direction.

Today I am walking across continents in search of adventure, meaning, growth and understanding.
