Away We Go

I'm essentially done packing now, and in 15 hours I'll be on a plane to Moshi, Tanzania. It's impossible to put into words the mix of anxiety, excitement, and curiosity that I've been going through these past few days, but I'm extremely grateful for the friends and family who made this a great weekend in Durham. I've been waiting for this since the idea was first thrown around in December, and I can't wait to join the people I've heard so much about who are living in Moshi.

Hopefully it won't be too long before I can post an update on the 20-hour flight and my first experiences in Africa. Until then, take care and keep an eye out for more exciting posts in the future.
