"If I know a song of Africa...does Africa know a song of me?"
~Karen Blixen, Out of Africa
For years I have been prepping interns to go abroad, calming their nerves, confident they'll have the time of their lives.
Where is that confidence now? It has been a long time since I did this myself. Five years since I lived abroad, and this will be my first time in Africa. What will I feel? Will I even begin to understand the people, the cultures I will be living and travelling in? What will I miss? Will I indeed come to know a song of Africa?
Methinks and mehopes the answer is yes! Excitement is mounting!
