Six months ago, I decided I was going to set a side about a year of my life to go out into the world, and try and do something different no one around had done. That entailed signing up for two trips, the first being my excursion into the Central American country of Guatemala, and the second being the trip of a lifetime to Africa. 5 months later, here I sit, already completed with the first portion, and set with numerous amounts of lessons that I learned, hopefully readily available to apply in Africa. I'm 19. I wanted to see things that I had never had the chance to see otherwise, and help people that I would never have the chance to meet otherwise. And this next trip, along with the last, will help me truely find whatever it is that I am looking for. Kenya, Uganda, and Tansania arn't Wausau, Wisconsin, and for now, that couldn't be more exciting. I'll experience new things, and maybe one day, meet Simba.
