Hi everyone! I recently returned from a volunteer trip to South Africa, and since then returning to Africa has been all I can think about. It was an eye opening experience that I think everyone should get to do at some point in their life. This time around I wish to go to Tanzania, as it is more rural and in need of volunteers. I do plan to volunteer again while in Tanzania, I just haven't chosen a program to do it through yet. In my last volunteer trip I was with a girl who had volunteered in Tanzania and hiked Kilimanjaro while there, and she said it was completely breath taking, so now I want to do that as well! I absolutely love to travel and see the world, and I love inspiring my friends and family to do so also! So many people think that it's just "too expensive" to attempt to do, and I want to continue to show them that if you put your mind to it, it really isn't hard at all. I fundraised for my last Africa trip which helped cover expenses a lot. I struggle to keep enough money in my bank account to afford rent, but I've found that every penny spent on travel has been 100% worth it. I plan to travel to Tanzania in May 2018. Please help me continue to travel and show others that it is very possibly and worth it to see the world! :)
