Victoria Falls: ...and the air

This is a top pick! ... . My dream come true. Subject myself to the strength of rope threads and provide entertainment for the entire crew of "Abseil Zambia." Sooner than I'd hoped I was in two harnesses; my heels with no land underneath. We were told to lean back and we'd ...

The Day After
Today is the day that most of the people from the site Go Home. It is quite a process. No one, that's right, NO ONE has transportation. Everyone has to literally be hauled back home. I remembered well two years ago when our LifeNets ...

Malawi is where my heart belongs

Lusaka Part II
... at someone's house, everything looks the same, and barely anything is built above two stories. Because it's so thinly populated, Zambia has a ton of immigrants. The main groups really are Arabs and Indians, which makes for an interesting mix, when you ...
