Something personal about me

​My name is Lucy Oyubo. I was born in Busia, a small border town near Lake Victoria in Kenya. 
I have lived in Switzerland for several years. I spent my first years in Switzerland in Romanshorn, a small town on Lake Constance. The multi-cultural city of Basel  has been my home for 8  years. I love it here. What I fancy most is swimming in the Rhine River.
It brings back the sweet  memories of swimming in Lake Victoria and Lake Constance! 

I also like travelling. I count myself one of the luckiest people because since I have lived here, I have been able to visit many countries around the world. This has enabled me to discover countless cultures and it is something I appreciate very much.
