Day 87: make future plans

Today I took some time out for myself. I let myself sit and read for a long time - a book about one of my favorite topics: Africa. I've wanted to go to Africa since middle school and it's always called to me. I even got accepted to the Peace Corps and was going to go to Malawi. Circumstances changed and I couldn't go then, but I still really want to go. One organization I found years ago is Cross Cultural Solutions. I get emails from them and read reviews. It's one of the best overseas volunteer organizations out there. They provide food, lodging, volunteer placement, local culture excursions, security, travel medical insurance, and fun! It's not cheap, but they provide a lot. And security is super important. I'd rather go through someone like them than try it on my own! I'd want to go for at least two weeks. So today I started planning how I'm going to save money and hopefully go within the next five years. Watch out Africa, here I come! The one I want to do first is in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. But they have others. I'd love to do them all :) I love planning for the future!! Go me!
