We delved into topics like the effects of Covid 19, the team at Somak, and why you should be booking through a travel agent!  Also, who knew you could film a podcast in a national park?! Yes... I did it! You can also hear the planes taking off and landing! You can only experience that in Nairobi, being the only capital city in the world with a National Park. Listen till the end to get Bushra's top 5 must-visit places in Kenya.  —————————————————————————- Zanelle is an Economist and travel photographer based in Nairobi, Kenya.

Want to learn how to travel on a budget? Want to learn how to collaborate with hotels and travel agencies and get a complimentary stay? My next guest on my podcast needs no introduction (if you're Kenyan). Rajvir Soin AKA Adventure Singh is a phenomenal travel content creator who has collaborated with several brands and grown his platform exponentially. He's been travelling round the world creating content for 4 years now and he's scaled his business and he's now making over six figures. He has a course and presets which are currently for sale.  A special thanks to The Curve by the Park for collaborating with me on this podcast. This is an upcoming hotel located on Mombasa Road. Their official launch is on the 28th of November. I definitely enjoyed the views of the National Park from my room and the elegant interior design.  _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Enjoyed today’s episode and want to get notified when new episodes are released?
