Moshi Travel Blogs

Since arriving here, I have been determined to immerse myself into the local community, see life from their perspective and try to find out what makes these people who have virtually nothing to their names and so many problems live life with a smile on their face. I have been fully aware that I am …

We had the day to spend preparing for the climb - packing our things, washing clothes and so on. We also had the opportunity to go to Moshi to do some exploring out and about and of course, buy some bits and pieces at the market.Ruth, Kate, Sam and I decided to walk into Moshi from our hotel (aroun…

Jambo :) The end is really here… I just finished up my last day at Faraja, and walking out of the brand new classroom for the last time was probably one of the most difficult and emotional things I’ve ever done. We were all crying – me, Mrs. Massawe, Mr. Massawe, Amy (a volunteer who came to…

DAY 7: Ok, we are now out of our emergency stash of cookies! I am soo hungry! What I have not mentioned yet is we have been eating dry bread and butter for breakfast and dinner with rice for lunch all week. For BREAKFAST and DINNER - dry bread with butter. For lunch - Rice with beans…

Taken a good rest in the Hotel (included in the price)....good dinner....the most proper one i have ever tasted in my whole Africa trip.

Over the past 10 days there have been many little things that I keep forgetting to share.  Some heart-breaking. All over Kenya there seemed to be children playing in the dusty streets with the huge piles of litter beside the road.  Some found joy even in a mere platic bag they had attach…

We were a group of teacher students from Uppsala who went to Tanzania in the fall of 2008 to work at a school for a couple of weeks.

My trip over to Tanzania for a 3 month volunteer project and then headed over to Egypt for a holiday.

The day before I started climbing Kili I hiked in the lowest zone of the mountain, the cultivated zone. Since most climbs start at the gates at around 1800m I would have missed that. The area around Kili is plain and dry while at the foot of the mountain it rains regularly. No wonder the steep regi…

Sarah, Amy and I made an afternoon trip to Moshi Tehcnical Academy to watch the East Africa Cup. It wasn't really anything special, just some teams playing soccer, no scoreboards, just fun to watch. We knew nothing about who was playing, so we decided to just randomly pick teams to cheer for. Of …

I have always dreamed of going to Africa. Thank you Andy G.

Today I entered the compounds of Springlands Hotel.  When I asked the taxi driver to take me there, he rolled his eyes.  I was very self- conscious of going to the hotel and felt like a snobby tourist.  I seem to be the only American and definitely the youngest.  There were lots…
