I wanted a place to keep track of all the cool things that I experience during my travels. So far, there are a few quoteables about my travels...
" you're going to Africa...nerves are so expected, even encouraged by many haha. but one you get there...you'll ease in"- my classmate Kidan, when
chatting about our near miss layovers on our flights out to Namibia and Cameroon. On my last day working at the Pan-African Association in Chicago, my supervisor (who is from Sierra Leon), cautioned me, "You'd better be careful, visiting Africa. Once you go, your heart may never come back."
"You're putting your parents through the wringer on this little Uganda jaunt, ehh?" -my travel doctor
"Where are you going? Ghana?" -Asad, Claire, Marlee, all separately.
"In Africa, we share." -Leena, my translator, encouraging me to have some KFC.
"Did you know KFC is American?" "No. But I've heard eating too much of it can give you worms." -every conversation I've had at KFC in Namibia
"Us African boys, we eat only one meal a day." -Erastus, my coworker at the wool cooperative.
"Uganda?!? That's real Africa. Why would you want to go there?" -Charl, a Namibian
