Home is where the heart is! I was born and raised in this very beautifully green land locked country called Uganda, have you heard of it? Well, not to worry, most people don't know which part of Africa Uganda is let alone what the main airport is, I will tell you all come with me. Uganda is one of…

After the long journey we were getting closer to home. We left Addis Ababa exactly an hour and a half after landing there to pick up passengers to Entebbe. We began our finally decent into Entebbe an hour after leaving Addis Ababa; it had been raining so the air was so fresh. Going through Immigrat…

I don’t do diaries, but somehow today I have a craving to write. Sitting in a pub, in Nairobi, just finished an outstanding trip through Uganda and Kenya. It was superb, but yet I’m sitting here, drinking a bottle of Tusker, Kenyan lager, and I’m… incredibly sad. Why?   “My” wai…

 Up early again this morning. I was aching from the rapid. It was lightly raining when I got up so I decided I would wait for the rain to stop before taking my tent down this turned out to be a mistake. I  went for breakfast by now the rain was getting heavy so people were going on the&nb…

so, i can't adequately capture the ways in which my trips to uganda have impacted me...but here is a snipet:) uganda is probably not high on the list of "tourist" destinations despite the reference to it being the "pearl of africa", the source of the nile complete with some of the best rafting in …

Wow.  The first day I have gotten to sleap in!  I had the most relaxing day today.  I woke up at 10am.  It was our day of leisure because tomorow is my groups day to go Gorilla Trekking in the Congo.  I took a nice hot shower, and then walked around to check out our amazing…

Fall semester of my senior year in college, I left to work at an orphanage and shoot a documentary...here are some photos for everyone. Sorry, they're not really in any order.

Uganda was amazing. I experienced tragic sights but beautiful ones at that. Sometimes this place overwhelmed me with the need. I left something there and took something back. I left my camera at home which is a tragedy in itself. I acquired a really cheap one with no flash in the airport. Even still my pictures aren't the quality I would have had with my own camera, but I'm happy that I was able to get some shots to remember details I might have forgotten otherwise.

   It was around 10pm in nearly pitch black darkness when my plane touched down on what seemed a very dimmly lit runway in  Entebbe, Uganda.  As I walked off the plane onto the tarmac I was greeted by a starry night sky, a slightly chilly, but refreashing breeze, and an unfamili…

We woke up this morning and took down our tents.  We are all getting in the hang of it by this point........much faster then befor.   I slept so good because I cheated and bought a real pillow yesterday when we stopped at the store.  It was a very good investiment of 6 dollars, …

Went to Uganda for 5 days to see the Gorillas. There are only about 700 of them left so wanted to see them now, when it is still possible

Ok,I So today was a crazy long day of driving.  We woke up super early, and were on the road all day.  We stoped for lunch along side of the road, and played with some children that were facinated by us.  They were so exited when we took photos and let them see their own pictures.&…

Im going to start my journal in Masindi (well...just before, but i can't remember the name of the rhino park. If anyone knows i'd be happy to be reminded).  The people that work at this park were brilliant. We actually arrived after it had closed and they'd stopped monitoring the rh…

Finally arrived...it's nice and warm (a big change from Germany!!).  A big culture shock already too, the roads and the people, and the traffic...OMG the traffic is something else!!  I have never seen such craziness!!

The journey there It was a bit of a shock when I was informed that Lau was doing Kwanjula on Saturday. Kwanjula it turns out is the ceremony that is performed when the man goes the woman's home to ask for her hand in marriage – basically an engagement ceremony. I never got any m…
