travel to Africa

My parents are both from Africa and although I have done the holiday thing, I haven’t actually gone there and really experienced where they are from. I am really planning to in the next couple of weeks if I can get a move on with my visa etc. but I need to get out there.

I guess the reason why I don’t consider this done is because I need to make sure that when I get out there I really experience Africa and don’t just lounge on the beach. I want to travel and work and I am so determined to do both – I just hope I come back with renewed sense of who I am and where I came from. You know what inspired me to do this? Obama. His first book. Strange, I know, but I’m so excited to be going.

So the ticket is booked, headed in the fall :D

not just the touristy parts

It’s always been my dream to visit Africa. The world has changed a lot since I first desired to do this, but I know I will go there with my son someday in the near future (within a few years).

I am going to Tanzania in June for 6 weeks to do volunteer work. I will probably be working in an orphanage. I am so excited!!

I have always wanted to travel to the mother land and stand where my forfathers left from

i went to tanzania last summer and taught art and kindergarden. i fell in love with africa and plan on going back as soon as i have the money.

Doing volunteer work in South Africa December 2009.

I’ve been to a lot of European nations, but none in Africa…. and I think before I go anywhere else I should go here, even if its just to lend a helping hand in a peace keeping effort.

Since I was three years old I wanted to got to Africa and help people there. I want to go on a safari and help those in need and have an amazing experience!
