Favorite Natural Wonders and Scenic Views

Here’s a list of the most stunning places we have visited so far in our travels!

Malayaka Gym

Malayaka House is a place of infinite possibilities and is constantly changing, yet it always feels the same each time you are there. Things change because there are 36+ kids these days and they grow, their interests change, and each volunteer that visits shares something a little different. It is why this place is great to visit once, and even greater to visit often.

Elephant Nightmare

“Don’t move or make a sound so you don’t get trampled by the elephant” was the only thought going through my head as I was awoken from my sleep in what I believed could have been the my last moments.

Dipping in Buffalo Bay

Our spring break trip in South Africa included visiting an elephant sanctuary, riding ostriches, exploring underground caves, ziplining through a forest, and jumping off the highest bungee bridge in the world. However, one of the moments that remains most vivid, even nine years later, took place late one evening on a quiet beach.

Rwanda & Lake Bunyonyi

While living in Uganda we took a week-long vacation to Rwanda and western Uganda. Here’s what you need to know about traveling to Kigali and Lake Bunyonyi.

People Are Good

We are all taught from a very young age not to talk to strangers because they could have bad intentions or be trying to take advantage of us. But one belief we have that guides our life is that people are good.

Multiple Homes

When I think about how my heart is connected to multiple places, I find myself in a familiar cycle: saddened by the reality of it, annoyed at myself for feeling sad because only those with a certain level of privilege are fortunate enough to identify with this, and then grateful that I have been able to carve out a home for myself in several different places.
