I can’t keep calm! That’s probably the worst tag line ever, but it’s true. I have tried finding fulfilment from settling down and focusing on one activity and place, but I failed terribly.
Okay, I should probably start by telling you who I am. My name is Wachera, a daughter of the African soil. Just recently, I realized that Wachera is native for “the one who loves travelling”. Who would have thought, right? So I guess my troubles began immediately I was born, and my parents decided to call me that – that explanation gives me a lot of closure any time I feel like I move around a lot
Anyways, now that you know that about me – and that I just gave you FREE African language lessons – we should get straight to what this is all about.
Before that though, a little more about me I just graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Actuarial Science. I learnt a lot of amazing stuff in the process but just like you, every evening marks the end of another day down without applying algebra even for a second. That shouldn’t be taken to mean I don’t like Mathematics, I love it!
Now that you know what my name means, and that I’m not a failure, more about me (Okay, I promise I’ll stop just after I tell you this ) I love reading, writing, fashion, and children. A little about my love for children: their smiles keep me sane and their faces remind me of what life is all about – living every moment like it’s your last. So, I use any chance I get with a child to reflect on what we were designed to be. Some are annoying, I know. But that doesn’t change the fact that they represent my ideal world. I keep my promises, so I won’t talk more about me.
You’re here maybe because Google directed you here for one reason or the other, OR you love adventure, OR you love me Whatever the reason, just be sure you’re in the right place. I mean, we just learnt that destiny has a way of making things, right? Somehow, my name defines who I am; an adventurer, a wanderer, an explorer – anything travel-related. Now that we’re on the same page, that’s what this site is all about.
I haven’t travelled as much I would like, but that won’t stop me from dreaming (and starting this blog). Walk with me, and maybe we may discover what we are all about in the process. I believe in working towards my dreams regardless of the costs. Am I scared? Very! Will I make it? Certainly. I could have waited until I was halfway across the Earth (and/or Earth 2.0 – I heard we now have that), but I won’t. Follow me as I travel to different places, watch me make mistakes, and cheer me on as I dust myself off and get back to the road again. Failing to live our dreams might as well be compared to (I forgot to say I love movies) that Friday night where you are all set to watch a new episode of your favorite series. So you’re all set on the couch with popcorn and all, then you realize you need to switch off the lights for the best experience. No, it’s not happening! After a few minutes the problem is still there, you need to get started with the episode already. You had a long week, and all you want to do is rest so instead of switching off the light, you wish your neighborhood’s transformer explodes. Yikes!
As lame as that may sound, that’s how it sounds once you fail to live your dream. Needless to say, the lights will be on when you wake up at 10 am the next morning – you’ll be on the couch, and still clueless on whether your favorite character came back to life. Your problems won’t solve themselves, you need to get out of your comfort zone and go after what you firmly believe in. Okay, that was a note to self
Now that you know some stuff about me be sure to subscribe to my blog; I’ll appreciate that, plus it’s sexy.
