My Travel Story

by: Charity Grace Start Date: Jun 25, 2024 - End Date: Oct 22, 2024
My grandfather often tells me that his fondest memories are when from the time he ran away from home ( to escape an abusive father) and boarded a merchant ship secretly . On board he met a discharged British soldier who sympathized with his situation and decided to take him under his wing. He offer my grandfather clothes and food and decided to accompany him in his journey . With the influence of his new travel companion , my grandfather got the chance to visit most of the countries I listed before ultimately coming back to Kenya to start his own family . I would like to take my grandfather to this places once more just to see his eyes light up again just like they used to when he would tell me of his past .
