Today has been a very emotional day for me. I can’t help but reflect on the time I’ve spent in Tanzania. All the ups and downs. The frustrations that ended in laughter. The growth (mentally and physically… hah). All the wonderful people I’ve gotten to know on my journey here. Asante sana, Tanzania. A piece…

I’ll miss the colors. Everywhere you turn in Tanzania you’ll find a rainbow of kangas and kitenges, whether they are being worn as garments or baby carriers or thrown over a clothes line to dry. I’ll miss being constantly impressed by the new things I see women balancing on their heads. I’ll miss being referred…

Today marks one year since my family of three said our goodbyes to friends, family, and everything that was familiar to us and embarked on our journey to Africa. I remember anxiously sitting in the airport, and then plane (and then another couple of airports and another couple of planes) wondering what our new life…

Prison Island, known locally as Changuu Island, is a small island off the coast of Stone Town. It was originally built up to be a prison, but ended up being a place to quarantine people with Yellow Fever. To get there, you can pay a boat driver a negotiable amount of money. Or you can…

During our trip to Zanzibar, we took a sunset snorkel cruise on a traditional dhow. The snorkeling part wasn’t so great. The captain dropped us off in about 45 feet of water, which was probably awesome for SCUBA diving, but not so much for snorkeling (at least when you’re pregnant and not able to freedive…

The first thing I did after the Lion Park was visit Nelson Mandela Square. I honestly didn’t know what it was at the time, but Amy (who lives there) tweeted me and told me to check it out. I was pleasantly surprised to learn it’s a giant mall. It had been a while since…
