travel: zimbabwe

Just wanted to write a quick note to say that I'm back from my amazing African adventure, and to thank those that wrote for your good wishes.

As I'm writing about the holiday for a travel feature, I can't give too much away about the trip other than to say that I have fallen in love with Africa. I didn't expect it to happen because, generally, I prefer cities over the countryside. But Africa is such a majestic place that it was impossible for me not to feel deeply about the place.

And, also, I wanted to make a special mention about Zimbabwe. It is a country that has received a lot of bad press in recent years but rest-assured I felt completely safe my entire time there. The spirit of the people was wonderful - I encourage you to travel there because it is worth the trip. And, yes, I travelled with &Beyond and not only is the company and its sustainable mission completely inspiring but the service was absolutely faultless.

I will be posting again later this week.
