Africa

It's been a few years but how can I not return back to blogging as I am about to go on a trip of a lifetime. It all started a few months ago when I was starting to think about turning 30. No I was not have a mid life crisis or whatever you want to call it. I was just thinking about how to celebrate it. Usually I'm not one to throw a big party for myself but this is big. I should do something special to bring in a new decade with a bang. Then I thought to myself, what is the one thing I've always wanted to do?? Simple answer: do a volunteer build in Africa. Something about volunteering in Africa have always fascinated me. I almost went immediately after graduating physio school but my parents thought it was too dangerous to go alone. After not seeing your family for over 2 years you miss them too much to get into a long argument.

Well 4 years later and I still haven't gone to Africa. What the heck am I waiting for?? Yes I need to save up to do renovations, save up for retirement in 30+ years, save up to open a clinic, etc. The list goes on. Sometimes I feel so settled when I'm not married or have kids yet. Life's too short to not take a break from saving up for that life security.

So here we are today, less than a week until I head off to Tanzania, Africa for 3 weeks. I will be doing a volunteer build for 2 weeks and then hoping to climb Kilimanjaro the following week. It's just starting to hit me this week that I am actually going. Eeek!!!
