Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
As I was preparing for my trip to Africa I was inspired by images like this on Pinterest, We’ve all seen them, helpful tips on how to pack and not having to check a bag. Knowing that most of the people I would meet in Africa were going to be significantly more traveled than I,…
I’ve not had the time or internet connection to write anything worthwhile since arriving in Africa, but believe me good things are coming when I get back. Any suggestions on fun things to do with my last few days in Arusha? Save Save…
I came across this gem on Someecards.com a while back and it really hit home. I’ve had a particularly emotionally taxing couple of weeks. As usual, when the going gets tough I want to run away. Can you actually run away from your problems? It’s an argument I feel like I’m perpetually in with someone. …

Where else do you get transportation, lodging, and food (lots and lots of food!) for around $100 a night (sometimes less)? So naturally, those of us that live near a port cruise as often as possible and…

Ok, so I’ve been doing contest pages every month and I had resigned myself to the idea of skipping it this month, mostly out of laziness.
