the Burrito's burning africa

1. So, I’m off to Africa (Zimbabwe) for a few weeks to a project called Kufunda…to try something new (I’ve done yoga trainings the last three years), experience a different culture, and to scout for what I might want to do after YMCA (I’m thinking peacecorps). From what I’ve read so far about Zimbabwe and who else will be on the “learning journey,” it sounds like it will be an exciting trip. This is also the first time I’ve traveled abroad by myself (the last three trips to finland have been with my mom).
It's interesting the comments/advice I get when I tell people I'm going to africa...here's some of what I've heard: bring those towelette hand wipes things, you will be "fresh meat" to the locals, talk to people--they are interesting and you may get to have a buddy for your 14 hour layover, do not be indecisive outside--go inside to make decisions, walk like you know where your going, even if you don't, the money belt is key.

2. I’ve had a few phrases going through my head. Here they are and what they mean to me right now: “burn”—I must experience the pain/loss/failure before I can fly. “you must fly”—this means that I( and we) all have a passion. It is SO important that we find it and use it in this world…for many reasons.

3. Well hello to you to mr. Seven layer burrito. People say “taco hell,” but I like it, every now and then…not all the time! And getting two-for-one with entertainment coupon is a good thing!
