And travel I did… have spent the last 3 weeks in Zambia – not on holiday but rather on a youth exchange… helping lead it with my mate neil. one of the most awesome yet difficult experiences i have ever had…
so different than being a tourist; so different than being part of a student team like i was in the dominican republic.
still trying to get to grips with what to make of it. primarily it wasn’t for me anyway! i was there to facilitate and support the group of scottish young people as they met a group of zambian young people, and discussed / compared / evaluated their respective cultures – similarities and differences… covering topics such as youth poverty, youth boredom, education, sex – hiv/aids…

but we did manage a small excursion to livingstone – managing to see the awesome victoria falls, and fit in safari and a sunset cruise on the zambezi. wow.
