Getting ready to go

Hey everyone,

So I am trying out this blogging idea to try and keep all my friends updated as much as possible with my upcoming travels in Africa. I leave Wednesday for Equatorial Guinea (yes, this is a country. No, it is not related to the Guinea currently going through political turmoil). I will be there for 3 months, with about 3-4 weeks spent backpacking the southern portion of the island. I will be studying monkeys as well as conducting a research project on frogs...my new favorite amphibian!

Around the end of March will will take off for western Africa to the wonderful land of Tanzania. Here I will be staying in the small town of Moshi at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro. I plan to volunteer at a local orphanage to teach Engligh/Math/or whatever is needed. I will be in Tanzania for 3 more months and use Moshi as a base to explore the country more.

I will take plenty of photos and try and keep everyone updated. Thanks for all the support from my family and friends and the next time I write here will be from a tiny island off the coast of Africa!!! Let the adventure begin :D
