unity, euphoria, and sex will never go out of style
A thank you to my pal, the Hawaiian, for passing along his latest words of wisdom and getting me back on the blog.
All I have to say is Kiva’s training about dealing with isolation and loneliness as a fellow DOES NOT apply in Nairobi. I’ve been overwhelmed with a jam packed social calendar full of themed parties, outdoor adventures, cultural explorations, and shopping excursions.
2 weeks left in kenya and I’m full of a mix of emotions: sadness about my fellowship ending and my new kiva fellow & expat friends leaving / excitement to return abroad to find a new organization to work with after a brief visit home / apprehension about crime going up in Nairobi during the month of December (Christmas & New Years leaves people shortchanged and desperate to cover food/housing/school fees) / nervousness about returning to the US – will my friends actually listen to my stories? will i be able to relate to Americans? will i fall back into my old rhythm of life? where will i work? we shall see.
