Muna Moto

Muna Moto is a 40-something writer from West Africa who lives in Brooklyn, New York. Early in life he subscribed to the belief that while adventure can be dangerous, routine is most certainly lethal. Since then, he has tried his hands at many things, traveled often, lived on three continents and is eagerly hoping for a return to the days when moving around would be great again. All the while, having learned a thing or two from his (many!) mistakes, he is committed to keep making a few more.
