  • I introduce to you, the new member of the exclusive Wind Surfers Club-Wangechi Gitahi🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I recently visited Watamu in Kilifi county and not only had my first surf lesson, but actually sailed it - albeit after swallowing loads of ocean water. I highly recommend all of you to try it. Click link in bio for more details of the escapades and lessons. #tembeakenya #watamubeach #watamu #wangechigitahitravels #windsurfing #solotravel #travel #travelblogger #travelgram
  • We did it people, Wangechi Gitahi Travels https://www.wangechigitahitravels.com/ won Best Travel Blog @bakeawards . I am grateful to God, my family, friends, everyone who works on it, reads, engages, supports, partners and voted for us. May God Bless You all Abundantly. This one is for all of us
  • I also really enjoyed the cultural showcasing of Indian culture. Their women as always did not disappoint with their beautiful brightly coloured clothes, glimmering jewellery and bold make-up that accentuated their beauty. The men were also very involved in the activities including music and dance, which in their case are quite vigorous and enjoyable. What stood out most for me is how well they have ensured that their culture is not lost. Their engagements included different generations and genders showing that they are passing it on through the lineages.
  • The “Best Cultural Experience Exhibitor ” at the Seventh Nairobi International Cultural Festival according to Wangechi Gitahi Travels was, Japan Information and Culture Centre stands. Check out videos and pictures here, and more on link in bio. A) Their representatives not only verbally engaged all who visited their stands, but, they also provided varied engaging platforms for individuals to “Experience ” and be “Immersed” in Japanese culture practically. Their Visitor experience was very enjoyable and them including a competitive angle to it, ensured most visitors engaged in all platforms. The engagements included : ¡) Yakata Dressing-Wearing the informal Japanese Cultural Dresses ¡¡) Shodo- Is a traditional Japanese form of Calligraphy. We learnt how to write our names ¡¡¡) Flower Arrangement iv) Ticad7 v) 2020 Tokyo Olympics vi) Tea Tasting vii)Origami Yours Trully, Wagechi Gitahi successfully participated in all of them and became a recipient of a Certificate. So Proud😀
  • The Seventh Nairobi International Festival was indeed a cultural experience "Around the World in One Day". Music, dance, cuisine, fashion, handicrafts and more. First up, the Somali community and more so the women have been viewed/stereotyped as being “mysterious” and “contained.” The ladies from Awjama Omar, who performed at the festival put cracks into these “stereotypes” to even shattering others. It was a joy watching them perform😀 Click link for more:
  • So, in keeping with ensuring you all get to know "interesting experiences" that I know about, that you can then plug in-Here goes. The High Commission of India in Kenya in partnership with the Hindu Council of Kenya, is hosting International Day of Yoga activities at Premier Club, on 23rd June from 8:00am to 10:30am and it is FREE and open to all. If you are already a "Yogi" ie those practicing Yoga, or have always wanted to learn or are have always wondered what exactly it is about like Wangechi Gitahi herself, here is your chance to engage with it and have professionals guide you while at it. Attend, Attend solo, with friends and family or with your Yoga squad. See more details on invite attached. The invitation has all the necessary information but feel free to contact me if you need any more information.
  • This is a Must attend my people. Five continents represented and numerous cultures showcased. All happening tomorrow and it is free. It seems like it will be a blast of a celebration. I will definitely be there.
