Meet the storyteller
insights from the hills of Mount Elgon
I’m Daan — co-founder of Home of Friends Guesthouse and a storyteller who finds meaning in the quiet rhythm and beautiful nature of Kapchorwa.
Through my writing, I hope to offer a different view of what a good and healthy life can look like. One rooted in nature, Community and connection.
Here on the mountain, I’ve seen how sport and adventure can open hearts and minds. When travelers slow down, explore a trail or cook with natives, something powerful happens: real exchange, shared inspiration and fresh perspective.
My stories are born from those moments: where curiosity meets culture and where visitors and natives learn from each other in Uganda’s unique Land of Champions.
