Robbed in Windhoek – Lost My Phone, My Data, and Part of My Journey
I never thought I would write something like this.
On the day I arrived in Windhoek, Namibia, I was robbed.
My phone is gone.
And with it, a 1TB SD card.
On that card were all my photos and videos from my journey—stretching from Zanzibar to Namibia. Months of experiences, memories, and moments I had captured along the way are now gone.
More Than Just a Device
For many, a phone is replaceable.
For me, it was my archive, my storytelling tool, my Wallet, and my connection to all of you.
Right now, I’m facing the reality that I cannot replace my phone on my own—I simply don’t have the financial means.
Trying to Recover
I’m doing what I can to recover and continue somehow.
If you’d like to support me during this difficult moment, I would truly appreciate it.

Thank You
