We had the privilege of taking Tayo Aina around Nairobi. I sat down with him after to chat through his experience of the city and why he thinks that Nairobi is the ideal destination for digital nomads. Full video on YouTube. Link in bio 🤎

On this episode we ventured out to Gathoni tea farm in limuru. We met Josphat, who has worked in the industry picking tea for over 20 years. We spoke of his process, and what tea means to him. Given how much tea is grown, consumed and exported here, it was great to learn more about this ancient crop.

Top nyama joints in Nairobi.

Today we meet Maina, a nyama choma connoisseur if you will. He reminds me of an opera conductor with his symphony of meat. He took over this highly competitive business from his former employer - Mr. Kamakis, the pioneer after whom this whole area is named after. A legend in his own right.

It’s crazy to think about the evolution of ‘nyam chom’ as its popularly known. Once a rare meal that was cooked only on special occasions. Now it sits squarely on the throne as Nairobi’s top street food, virtually found everywhere.

On this episode, we feature Abdullahi Bulle, who owns Nuria bookshop which has a large collection of African books. He has a novel mission; to create a decentralized network of African books and art held by individuals and companies whose records remain public. This is to protect our own culture and heritage against neocolonialism and erosion. Can this be done? How do we protect what we still have for future generations?

Some old photos of how Nairobi looked in the 1990s. Such rapid loss of the greenery compared to present day. Thank goodness for spaces like the plant nursery and Karura forest (which has dwindled and continues to be under threat).
Pic 1 is the mall Westlands 😮
Pic 2 not sure maybe Peponi road and general mathenge junction?
Pic 3 is the Westlands roundabout
Pic 4 not sure maybe off Rhapta road?
Last slide is an aerial shot of Westlands in 2004 vs. 2025. An alarming decline in green cover on the southern and eastern ends of the plant nursery.
