Ok, so imagine the traffic of Trafalgar Square, the flashing lights of Piccadilly circus and the amount of people found in Waterloo at rush hour. That is the best way to describe where our hostel was positioned in Mombassa. Every 30 seconds there was the blast of an angry matatu driver, or somebody shouting about [...]

With 1 day to go, I would have expected most people to have been in a state of serenity. A state where their bags are packed and they are ready to go. I am not. I have spent a majority of today writing and re-writing ‘to-do’ lists. I swear….it never ends. But as I have been involved [...]

So what’s it all about?
