About this blog

"All he could see, as wide as all the world, great, high, and unbelievably white in the sun, was the square top of Kilimanjaro. And then he knew that there was where he was going." - E. Hemingway

We, Philippe and Tyra, are about to set off on "yippee-we-finally-got-our-degrees" adventure, taking three and a half months to wind our way down the enormous and incredibly diverse continent of Africa. Philippe has just gotten his M.D. in radiology and Ty has just gotten her Masters in Conflict Resolution and Security, and we both hope that we will be putting our skills to use in some way during our travels. Departure from Paris, first stop - the golden sands of the Spice Island of Zanzibar!
