I was told a saying while I was in the bush, which sums my situation up perfectly: I wasn't born in Africa, but Africa was born in me. There's something about this place that makes me not want to leave! Of course there's always bad things, and there's quite a few in this part of Africa, but everything and everybody kinda makes up for that. The sunrises and sunsets are spectacular and I will definitely miss them, and I will miss our beach dearly. Seriously missin...

I'm back 'home' in Pemba now after the most amazing week in the bush camps. There was crazy slow internet in one of the camps so I was only able to post once, I had no patience for any more! But had I actually had good internet all the time I don't think I would have posted much anyway, it was such an amazing experience.

Trying not to get myself crazy worked up about it, keep dreaming abou...

Hello from Africa! I've come into my dad's school today to use the internet- time to blog and talk to people! After over 30 hours of travelling and the most horrific flights we got here on time and in one piece- and all our luggage made it! Amazing! Spent the past 4 days on the beach, swimming, reading and kitesurfing- all good really! Got used to my camera and hoping to get some more pics and videos- I've got one to upload in a minute :) The picture attached t...
