The past 4 years, I have celebrated the 4th of July in Africa (Ghana, Uganda, Seychelles, and Kenya). To honor both the country where I was born and raised and the continent that has become my home, I list a few of my favorite things:
Things I miss most from the U.S.:
- My family and friends
- Celebrating the birthdays of my 6 adorable nephews and nieces
- Weddings
- Soul food
- Fast food, especially Chik-fil-a and In 'n Out
- Cheap regional flights
- Being able to use a credit card to buy a $3 smoothie
- Retail therapy
- Clean and fast public transportation
- Long summer days and warm summer nights
Things I love most about Africa:
- Working with rural farmers
- Meeting great people who are also passionate about social entrepreneurship and sustainable development
- Scuba diving in the Indian Ocean
- Riding random animals like camels and ostriches
- Wild adventures like white water rafting the Nile, swimming with whale sharks, and gorilla trekking
