Design the Life You Love
Designing the life you love is about embracing opportunities and exploring destinations that inspire and energise you. Whether it’s the vibrant cities of Australia, the serene landscapes of Vietnam, or the wildlife adventures in Uganda and Kenya, each experience adds depth to your journey. Align your actions with your passions, and let your travels ignite your creativity and purpose.
The dream life may include cultural explorations, such as discovering traditions in Korea, exploring the natural wonders of Zambia, or unwinding on the beautiful beaches of Thailand. Letting go of routine and embracing the unfamiliar builds confidence and resilience. Every choice you make shapes the path to fulfilment.
Embrace the opportunity to simplify and enrich your life through the beauty and challenges that each of these places presents. They push you to grow by adapting to new environments or embracing a new lifestyle.
Ultimately, living the life you love means finding joy in grand adventures and quiet moments. Whether trekking through Cambodia’s ancient temples or crafting memories close to home, stay true to your values and dreams. Celebrate every step forward as you create a meaningful, balanced lifestyle.

About Me
I cherish life by pursuing what I love most, with travelling and entrepreneurship at the top of my list. I’ve always embraced my free spirit and intend to live that way forever.
Despite describing myself as a “village boy” to appeal to Westerners, I actually hail from a middle-class urban family.
My Parents
Joyce and Dawson
I was born in the city, grew up in the city, went to school the city, and immersed myself in its vibrant life, though I have a deep attachment to my ancestral home where I schooled briefly.
My parents, both descendants of chiefs, met in their youth and pursued education at College in Mbale during Uganda’s independence era.
My father later joined the army in Moroto, while my mother, an early childhood development specialist and primary school teacher, dedicated herself to the teaching profession, rising through the ranks to head several primary schools for over three decades until her retirement in 2008.
My dad and mum, and siblings
Fred and Frank in Moroto
I was born years later in the picturesque city of Jinja, where my father served as an Education Officer at Magamaga Army Barracks.
In 2017, my beloved mother passed away while I was in Australia, leaving a void I keenly feel. My father, now almost 90, is my best friend, and we often share laughs over pork and beer.
Despite my urban and international experiences, I remain deeply rooted in tradition, valuing culture, family, and respect for my elders and ancestors. I consider myself fortunate to be African and cherish every aspect of my heritage.
When time comes, I will return home, and there, I will join my ancestors and forever I will remain in peace.
