Why I Stayed Overseas to Work at the Safari?

I am 29 years old, but my journey actually began when I was a toddler and facinated by animals. I used to bug my parents to take me to the zoo every week. When we used to go I did love to bring a long my camera with me so that I could record all of the fascinating animals. Within a few years my bedroom wall was covered full of fascinating images.

I continued my education in college where I studied art and photography, after completing the course I decided against going to uni and instead getting a job down the sea life centre. The job was great I got to see more then I could have ever imagined I was doing something that I really enjoyed but my life did not feel complete.

When I turned 25 I received the best gift ever from my parents, safari holidays were an up and coming trend, but to be honest I could have never afforded to go. Once I received my tickets I was absolutely ecstatic.

Once I arrived on my Kenya holidays I just felt that I belonged to be here. This feeling just grew and grew the more time I spent there. I just did not feel like returning home, things were so much better here. So do you realise what? I decided not to go back, I have now spent four great years in Kenya and although I do miss my family and friends there is no way that I would ever go back.

I was created to be part of nature and that is where I want to stay, I am also earning a great bit of money by selling on my photography online, but not everything is about the cash.
