This is my story of my summer 2014. It's a realistic insight of the life of a season worker in Kavos or any similar place really such as Zante, Malia, Magaluf or Ibiza. Life over there is 100 miles per hour all the time. It's a crazy place and you really do have to be strong to cope. I have had many breakdowns and there's 100 million things that make you wanna cry every single day but you just need to stick it out. I myself may have experienced a more dramatic times than some others but that's just a given. I really hope this novel is enjoyable as its my first time to write about myself with some tweaks. Of course I can't give an exact diary and at times some events in my novel are exaggerated and jumbled but its basically my summer in Kavos and I hope you enjoy your read.

University friends Luisa and Kay reunite in Nairobi after a year apart to do some feel good volunteering but their friendship and the trip begin to unravel the moment they meet a strikingly handsome British philanthropist and a Ghanaian entrepreneur. In short order the donor funding the project that has brought them together is revealed to be rich and cruel, her interest in coming to Kenya to "help" routed in deeply disturbing ideology. Meanwhile, Luisa must confront her reasons for maintaining her friendship with Kay, her status as heir to a nearly incalculable fortune, her feelings for a man who seems a little too good to be true and the tragedy she left behind back in California. ** A/N This story is a work of fiction, but it's based on things I saw and heard while working in international development for five years. It's my attempt to find the complicated middle ground between those who would idealize international development and those who would condemn it. It's also a place for me to deal with a difficult friendship I had with a friend who was suffering from mental illness. She's since passed away and I'm not sure I ever really got over it. The story isn't at all done so as I'm writing I'm figuring it out too. I've set the story Nairobi and in Kisumu, which is far west of Nairobi. I've picked the title partly because of what Nairobi represents. Nairobi is a throbbing, innovative metropolis situated in a continent that is still viewed very narrowly as a place in need of help.
