Nomadic Lion walks the talk  

I finally get to meet an inspirational icon for humanitarian, David Atthowe famously known as Nomadic Lion for his humanitarian project 

He was excited to meet up my good friend SY and yes, David does own a smart phone (Nokia) 

Did you know that his bag pack weighs at least 10 kilo? So what’s inside the bag? His notebook, camping gear equipment, hammock, 2 set of clothes, medical kit and survival kit to name a few. He uses a trolley which he hopes to refine to make it more practical for his walking journey. 

Did you know that he loves cheese cakes? He applauded on the cheese cakes he tried at one of the places near Mount KK and the best he tried was in Europe. So peeps, anything with baked cheesecake, he is sold 😀 

David walked from indoor stadium to Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources and he was greeted with the team from Tourism Development Department headed by Mariani Sabtu, Acting Director of Tourism Development Department. 

During that 1 kilometre journey, he had some runners joining the short walk with him.

A notice that David will be heading to Sports School on Saturday morning 

He prefers to walk in this than sneakers and he hardly gets blisters even on his sole. Amazing!! 

Seng Yee’s wish came true and she caught up with David
