When Olga Orlova landed in Lamu from Russia five years ago, she immediately fell in love with the island, the people and the culture. She decided to settle here for a fresh start in life.
The tranquility and diverse culture rich of history was reason enough to have Orlova put up a tent and stay in the archipelago.
“When I arrived, I was shocked by the beauty of this place and the history. The people used donkeys and boats. The old style of life for me was wow! This place is amazing with lots of energy because you see a lot of people from different countries, with different cultural backgrounds and religion but we live in peace despite the challenges of 2020,” says Olga.
