Tanzania magic
Within
ten hours of being in country, after 3 continents and 2 days of travel,
I found myself speaking French in a car with two Moroccans, two
Tanzanians and giraffes galloping across the road in front of us. I was
definitely not in Chicago anymore.
Travel heightens the senses yet simplifies life at the same time; for me, it literally makes my heart swell. I like the challenge of figuring out new situations and people. Taking in new sights and sounds. It pushes you out of your comfort zones and in doing so you gain confidence and learn so much more about yourself and the world, which really isn't that big at all.
The
two Moroccans I was conversing with had just finished climbing Mount
Kilimanjaro and one was continuing on safari. Our driver dropped us off at a guest house where we met the rest of our
safari crew for breakfast; a lovely Italian couple; Song, from South Korea; and joining us for breakfast was Ana,
from Slovenia. None of us knew exactly what was going on, and decided to
just go with the flow and trust it would work out just fine. "Hakuna
matata," all the locals kept saying, and hakuna matata it was.
