Zanza-what?

Hey all!

I'm writing to you guys on my first blog ever!! Wow, this feels awesome. Just kidding, I'm just writing to give anyone who is interested the heads up on my trip to Africa. From February to May, I will be studying Swahili, coastal ecology, conservation, and field methods in the Indian Ocean archipelago of Zanzibar. Zanzibar is made up of a series of islands and is part of the country Tanzania, (which is more widely known) check out the map on the left. I will try and update this blog and upload as many pictures as I can while I am there, and publish stories as they roll in, as I'm sure they will. I've put the link to my program below in case anyone is interested in seeing exactly where I will be and what I will be doing. Feel free to share this blog with whomever you would like!




much love,


Laura
