Walking, Hiking, reading Health & Lifestyle books
I live in Ngong, Kajiado county. This area is well known in Nairobi as the nearest hiking place because of it's seven hills. I love to walk and hike in these hills. I grew up country in Nyeri, and our house is on a hill top. With these I have grown to enjoy walking and hiking. Growing up there were very few vehicles and walking was the only way we could get to school, coffee factory, main shopping centre and even hospitals,
I love to read books on healthy habits including eating, exercising and on healthy plants. This has enabled me to make a change which has greatly improved my health.
