swimming, travelling, photography, documentaries and learning
I go for swimming every other Sunday afternoon to keep fit and I started this back in high school when i would represent my school during competition. I love travelling and i have traveled all over my country and part of Tanzania. I hope to travel to Uganda and Rwanda this year if i get sufficient resources. I love photography to the point of starting a small business of taking people photos especially official passports and events photos. I use Canon 250D camera with a lens of 18-200mm. I watch lots of documentary on TV or You tube channels and in the process learn alot. I recently learned the story of Kevin Carter the South African award wining Pulitzer photographer who took photos of Sudan 1993 famine though it had a sad ending.
