I had never been outside of Europe, never traveled … Continue reading How volunteering in South Africa changed my perspective on life and traveling

Safari in Tsavo East
You simply cannot visit Kenya without at least one day of safari. I wish I had saved up for at least two-three days in the bush, but instead I had an amazing one-day safari in Tsavo East with lots of cool birds, elephants and antelopes en mass.
