I am a travel blogger, digital marketer and content creator from Malawi, the land of the lake of stars. I blog about the beauty and awesomeness of Malawi, the African continent and her diverse people.
I would love to partner with content creators and tourism brands on storytelling projects that expand the African narrative around tourism, travel, conservation and the continent’s people.

A colleague from South Africa working in Malawi once exclaimed βLast weekend we saw a hyena in the middle of city centre. In the middle of the city! Gosh, it was a culture shock!β
