This is a book of photos and stories from a journey in East Africa in 2016/ 2017 on a motorbike bought in Kenya. I travel to meet the people, always so rewarding in Africa, where everyone lives in the moment and expresses joy and warmth without reservation. The customary broad smile on my face is reflected so generously, as these pages testify. There’s nowhere like Africa, and no smile like an African’s!
