One fine fall day in 2008, my dear friend Brittney and I were sprawled on the back lawn of our residence at Rhodes University. If I recall, there were study notes laying beside us on the grass, but it is not likely they were an important feature of our afternoon. Much more important was the Lonely Planet section on a place called Malawi. Why had we never made time to go there during our semester on exchange?
It took very little discussion for us to realize that it was not too late, and by day's end we had booked tickets and made a plan to take off for reading week (Studying is clearly over rated in the grand scheme of life....)
A couple of days later we were sipping a beer on the edge of a stunning lake, watching the sun set as we daydreamed about what the future might bring.
Now it would appear that the future is bringing me back to Malawi, and hopefully many magical moments to come! I will try to update this weekly with my favorite/ most embarrassing moments, pics, quotes, whatever I feel might give you a laugh. Enjoy! :)
