Robbed in Namibia – Lost My Phone, My Data, and My Journey

in #namibiayesterday

I never thought I’d have to write something like this.

In February 2025, I traveled to Namibia — the best country I had visited out of over 40. I loved it so much that I planned to return for my birthday in 2026 and spend 60 days exploring the country again.

But everything changed.


The Attack in Windhoek

In Windhoek, I was attacked by two armed men. I defended myself during the assault, but one of them escaped with my phone.

Inside that phone was a 1TB SD card containing all my photos and videos from Zanzibar to Namibia. I had planned to turn this journey into a documentary for my blog and other channels — now it’s all gone.

I also spent a lot on this trip — transport, accommodation, daily expenses — and now I have nothing to show for it.

The police told me I injured both attackers, and since then I’ve been threatened by people connected to them. I am left hoping for justice, but my belongings are likely lost forever.


Why I’m Asking for Help

I am not rich. I cannot simply replace my devices. I don’t earn money from my content — I share experiences, recommend places, and show the beauty and culture of the world.

If you can help, even a small contribution makes a huge difference.

This journey was meant to be one of my most meaningful adventures. Instead, it became a moment of loss, fear, and uncertainty. Any support — whether a donation or sharing this post — means the world to me.
