Now we all know 2020 sucked majorly. There’s no argument about it. 2020 proved to us that we can plan, but God decides. It humbled us all! Me included. But I thought of looking back to some positives instead, and bring you this round-up. I made my first Yearly Round-up in 2018 and I was […]

We Went Hiking! (August 2019)
After adult life slapped me hard and left me down in the dumps, I asked my cousins and niece if we could go hiking up Zomba Plateau (timafuna mphepo zina amwene). Zomba Plateau is one of my favourite places in the world and I’ve been up there a whole lot of times, but I always […]
2018: Yearly Round-up
If you asked me to describe 2018 in the shortest way possible, I would say it was slow, but it went by so fast. Do I even make sense? Anyway, here’s a round-up of all things 2018. Top 5 places I visited: One January morning, mom woke me up to drive her to Jokala because […]
Kachere Kastle
If there’s an area that’s dear to my heart, it’s Northern Malawi. Nkhata-Bay was my home for a good four years because it’s where I went for boarding school, and I have always felt there’s a lot of hidden gems I am yet to visit in the North. On our way back home from my […]

I don’t mean the people who ask me are annoying per se, but the question annoys me because of personal reasons. I know […]
For Richard Mussa (PhD)
The news that Dr Richard Mussa has passed on is very very hard to believe. Surely, this is a mistake? I just bumped into him in town the other day! He was alive and well, he looked very healthy. What was this? It took me so long to accept it; heck, I don’t even think […]
The Wrong Route
Last week, I was by my friend’s home in Blantyre, and I had to return home on a Wednesday morning. Dad was also in Blantyre and he said he would come by and pick me up early in the morning. So I got ready and waited for him to pick me up. Within minutes, we […]
23 Things I learnt before I turned 23
1. Life may not go as you planned. You may still be in college at 23 and not be an independent lady, adulting and winning at life, and that is okay. Pace yourself.2. You are going to make mistakes; lots of them. Don’t be afraid to tell your Heavenly Father that you have messed up […]
