On her Instagram profile, Margie Gathungu describes herself as a hiking trendsetter and an adrenaline junkie and has pictures to prove it. When she is not at work, Margie is probably ascending or descending a hill or mountain.
On the day we meet at her office in Nairobi’s Karen, where she works as an accountant, she has traded hiking gear for a black and white floral dress with black high heels. Margie is among the hundreds of Kenyans discovering the joys of standing on top of Mt Kenya highest Batian peak.
