Content creator Shorn Arwa is taking it a notch higher to satisfy her cravings and desires.

The bubbly influencer revealed that she booked a flight to Kenya to experience the Matatu culture.

Taking to her official social media pages, the content creator noted that her cravings were ignited after bumping into TikTok videos about the vibrant Kenyan matatu industry.

"A little story time ❤️ I was on TikTok the other day and I saw something about how Kenya has very beautiful matatus. Instantly I started craving matatu ride 😂 it's been almost 10 years manze.

"So I booked a flight to Kenya, later on 😂. At this point I was questioning myself 😂ati naenda Kenya kupanda matatu 😂said bye to my husband and checked in. I remembered I have a YouTube channel and began vlogging. London to Nairobi it is ❤️So got here this morning very exhausted and there was no matatu 😭, maybe kesho ama jioni I will go matatu driving. Exhausted and tired 😇 but again I missed Kenya," she added.

Shorn Arwa left Kenya for the UK in April last year. Her relocation was a bittersweet moment for her family as they reminisced about the good times they shared.

Led by her sister Zainab, her family also expressed that they would dearly miss the content creator during an emotional speech at her farewell.

"You are one girl that has really motivated us in our family in so many ways. Ever since our childhood days when our parents were still there. You've been a go getter ever since you were a toddler. You have grown to be such a beautiful, strong-willed hardworking young lady.

"You are now a mum and I can proudly say you're the best mums I ever known. It pains all of us that you are relocating to a new country. but at the same time, we are so happy for you and we thank God for this milestone and the far that he has brought you," she said.

On her part, Shorn Arwa expressed sadness over the fact that she would dearly miss her sister. She expressed gratitude for the parental care she accorded her since their parents passed away.

"The thought of leaving Zainab behind had me crying. When I think of Zainab, I think of my parents. My parents died when I was six years old and my sister Zainab stepped in. And just so you know she was just 18 when she took the role.

"Who you people see today is a result of Zainab's making. So when I think of leaving Zainab I become a little scared. I just wanna say thank you Zainab for sacrificing so much for me, for building me and being there for me," she said.
