DISCOVERING KAMPALA & UGANDA'S HIDDEN GEMS
Hey there! I'm a curious wanderer who’s biked through Kampala traffic, hiked East African hills, and gotten lost (on purpose) in European alleys. I’m all about local eats, spontaneous detours, and swapping stories around campfires. Let’s make travel personal.
