  • A Language of Togetherness

    A year ago, I went back home – Sierra Leone. A trip of a lifetime. I wanted to reconnect and reminisce with that of my upbringing and reflect on the journey of transformation so far. What re-ignites these reconnections are the moments of laughter and fun, occasionally some bruises too. As for many boys/men growing […]

  • Florence – Italy

    Two things that comes to mind when someone mentions the city of Florence : Leonardo Da vinci & The Medici family. Well for me anyway. That’s probably because I watched the TV series _ ‘Da Vinci’s Demons’ for like 3 times, obsessively. A show that digs into the history of its people, rulers and at […]

  • LISBON – PART 1

    Colourful, Homely, Cheap, History, Art, Hills, Bridge, Friendly, Memorable, Hostel and Fun. A list of adjectives and nouns that comes to mind whenever I think of Lisbon. Fun facts : My home town Sierra Leone was discovered by a Portuguese explorer – Pedro de Sintra in 1462. Hence, one could say it was inevitable to […]

  • THE NEED FOR PLACEMENT or GAP YEAR.

    The year 2018-19 saw over 20 applications sent out in order to secure a placement opportunity, within my industry. A few interviews, many Noes and one YES. The year 2017 was a year of risk. I took the risk to study Civil Engineering at university without a fully comprehensive outlook of the bigger picture. My […]

  • ROME: PART 1

    This time last year I sold my car and went on a solo travel in Europe. I had just been offered a job which was to start in September, so I had little time to plan this trip. Three weeks in 3 countries was the plan – including different cities/towns within these countries. Amongst many […]

  • Prince Of Wales – Freetown

    Founded in 1925 by his Royal Highness – Boys school which I was fortunate to spend 5 years of both my junior and senior education. A school of tradition, culture, sports, drama, science, art, music, religious equality etc. However, nothing beats the long-term friendship bond harvested in this school. Friendship harvested through various means such […]

  • Degree Apprenticeship

    A 2017 throwback of me working on an individual project during my last year at college, before going to university. I spent 4 years in college (Level 1-4). When I moved to the UK at age 17 my academic background didn’t translate to that of UK’s. Hence, I had to settle down for a course […]

  • Pineda De Mar

    When I arrived I was dumbfounded by how quiet and maze-like the town was! You could walk down a neighbourhood as if no one lives there. To me it struck me with a sense of freedom, fresh air and vacancy. Ironically, this maze-like town is full of neighbours who know each other very well, drawing […]

  • The Phone Call

    “Hello is this, Mohamed? she asked “, yes! I replied. “You applied for a student Engineering placement role with us, and I was wondering if you are still interested?”. Believe it or not my response was – which one? Silly, isn’t it? Perhaps over the course of 10 months I had applied for more than […]
