Kenya: a bucket-list
January 13, 2026•213 words
I found the people of Kenya to be delightful. During our three years there, our twins were born, so Kenya will always have a special place in my heart. I spent most of my time getting to know the Kikuyu, Luo and Luya people. They are hardworking, careful, productive, knowledgeable, and highly competent just to name of few of their wonderful qualities. I was struck by their singular reserve and self-respect. They are careful in making judgements about people and in decision-making. They are cautious in making friends. If you're there any length of time, take a stab at learning Swahili, the national language. It's a lot of fun, relatively easy, and the people will be excited to help you learn and engage with their diverse cultures and traditions.
