Why I Stayed Overseas to Work at the Safari?

I am 30 years old and this all began when I was a young boy who had an admiration for animals. I used to pester my parents every week to take me down to the local zoo and farm. When we used to go I adored bringing my camera along on the journey. Within a few years my bedroom wall was covered full of fascinating images.

When I went to college I continued to study art and photography, I decided not to go to university and instead got a job down the local sea life centre. The job was great I got to see more then I could have ever imagined I was doing something that I really enjoyed but my life did not feel complete.

When I turned 25 I received the best gift ever from my parents, african safari were an up and coming trend, but to be honest I could have never afforded to go. Once I got my tickets I was totally happy.

Once I arrived on my Kenya holidays I just felt that I belonged to be here. This feeling just grew and grew the more time I spent there. In some ways I did not want to return home, things were alot better here. So do you realise what? I decided not to return back, I have now spent 5 happy years in Kenya and although I do miss my family and friends there is no way that I would ever return back.

I was created to be part of nature and that is where I want to stay, I am also earning a great bit of money by selling on my photography online, but not everything is about the cash.
