Some of my favorite memories cost practically nothing. We'd have vikombe (small group meals) in someone's bedsitter, everyone contributing a little flour for ugali and sukuma wiki (collard greens). We'd spend hours discussing politics, career dreams, or just watching series on a tiny laptop. This taught me that the best connections aren't about spending money; they're about presence, authenticity, and shared struggle.
