These are fotos taken on the beautiful island of Zanzibar, off the coast of Tanzania. I first arrived on the island in 2003 when I was backpacking 3 months from Nairobi (Kenya) to Johannesburg (South Africa). I came back in 2006 during the exchange project between the Zanzibar International Film Festival and Film by the Sea in The Netherlands. Then I made my first documentary abroad. It's called Zenji Flava and talks about the hiphop scene on the island. A year later I came back for the festival and made a documentary about it for the Dutch NGO Hivos. And the same year in November I ended a Kenya/Tanzania tour I was guiding on this paradise spot.
