I didn’t expect to write something like this.
In February 2025, I traveled to Namibia — and it became the best country I had ever visited out of more than 40.
I loved it so much that I decided to come back in 2026 for my birthday and spend 60 days exploring it again.
But everything changed.
The Attack in Windhoek
In Windhoek, I was attacked by two armed men.
I defended myself during the assault, and I know I injured at least one of them. Later, the police told me that I had actually injured both.
But in the chaos, one of them escaped — with my phone.
Inside that phone was a 1TB SD card containing everything from this journey. All my photos and videos from Zanzibar to Namibia.
Everything.
Lost Data, Lost Story
This wasn’t just random content.
I was planning to turn this journey into a documentary for my blog and channels — to show the beauty, culture, and reality of traveling across Africa.
Now, that data is gone.
Month of documenting, effort, and this entire journey — erased in a moment.
A Journey Without Result
I invested a lot into this trip.
Traveling from Zanzibar to Windhoek meant transport costs, accommodation, and daily expenses.
Now I have nothing left to show for it.
- No images.
- No videos.
- No documentation.
Situation Now
I am currently dealing with police and legal processes, hoping something might still be recovered — but it doesn’t look promising.
On top of that, I’ve been threatened by people connected to the attackers after the incident.
I never thought I would say this, but after this experience, I can no longer recommend Namibia.
Why I’m Asking for Help
I am not rich.
I cannot just replace my devices easily. And I don’t earn money from my content — I share experiences, recommend places, and show the beauty and culture of the world.
This situation hit me hard.
If you want to support me in recovering from this, I would really appreciate it.

Final Words
This journey was supposed to be something special.
Instead, it became a moment of loss, fear, and uncertainty.
If you can help — thank you.
If you can share — that already means a lot.
