You know Megan & I are planning our European vacation next summer.
Well after that I'm considering 'swinging' by Africa for a bit. If anyone's interested in coming get in touch with me. You know I'll do it alone regardless, but I thought since I survived it once already maybe more people would realize they could/wanted to do it. Anyway, this is the organization I'm looking into going with: www.eliabroad.org One of my beloved roomies from South Africa volunteered in Tanzania through them and LOVED it! Plus it is so much cheaper than any other program I've seen (and I've done my research!)
I'm looking at Tanzania working with special needs kids or Kenya in a "work camp." The work camps have a huge variety of things to do--teaching, counseling, farming.
This is all of course based on time & money so it might not happen, but it's something I'd really like to do. And again, based on time & money, maybe a quick trip to Cape Town... who knows. Maybe just Europe with Megan, but I don't think it's too early to think outloud :)
I've just been missing it so much and talking with everyone I met there, and people who are still there. I just love traveling, meeting new people, and trying new things...period. The short time you spend with the people is all you need to make some amazing friends...it's such a unique experience that only the people you were with truly understand and I'm addicted to that experience. Still think about my Key Largo gals all the time and although we don't talk as often anymore we're still in touch and I love 'em. Now I've just added my Cape Town girls and I can't shake 'em :) hehe
