Alekh was born and raised in Kenya and his passion for Kenyan wildlife, coupled with a desire to preserve it for future generations, drew him to the travel industry.
In 2015, he moved to Canada to follow his passion and graduated from Centennial College and Ryerson University with degrees in Tourism Management.
To date, Alekh has traveled to about 22 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, with Japan being my favorite.
In his free time (and when not travelling), he enjoys playing tennis, cooking, golfing, painting, snowboarding, and spending time in the water.
He loves any chance to discover new places (especially restaurants — you might even catch him bar hopping from time to time).
