I'm originally from California, however jumped the boarder and have been doing some of my undergraduate work at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

I have nothing but positive things to say about the city of Vancouver as well as the Canadian people. I have experienced nothing but genuinely kind, down to earth, chill people during my entire stay in Canada.

Also, the University is spectacular. I am in the Forestry department up here (Bachelor of Science in Natural Resources Conservation). The campus is stunningly gorgeous, the professors are incredible, and the drinking age being 19 is a plus

All this is great... the friendships I have made here will last a lifetime...

However, I'm not sure if the whole 'University Experience' is right for me.

I have made yet another big decision in my short life and will be departing for Africa following the summer of 2010.

I have never been to Africa and would love a seasoned veteran traveler to take me under his/her wing and offer some words of wisdom.

Thank you so much.

One Love

Daniel
