Travel and Tourism

Allison W. travels to Africa to take a university course.
She shares her experiences while in Africa in an online blog.

While living in Vietnam for a year, I had many opportunities to travel throughout South East Asia.

My trip began April 1^st 2010 and ended April 10^th 2010. In those short days, I learned more about myself and the people around the world then I have in my entire life.

Is your school involved with the Free The Children? Are you participating with the Youth in Action Summit? Want to be involved with doing something to change the world for girls everywhere? Well here’s your chance!  

What comes to mind when you think about learning? Studying? School? Homework? Sleepless nights? Well I travelled half way across the world to learn.

Have any of you ever visited the pretty little town, Niagara on the Lake? This tourist attraction is located on the edge of Lake Ontario in Canada. It’s a beautiful little spot with unique restaurants, a famous theatre and many quaint stores and shops. True to its Victorian style, on the streets people explore the town on lovely horse drawn carriages.

Now that I have bombarded you all with a blog about my crazy life at the moment, maybe I will take the time to relax and tell you a little bit about a time when I travelled across the world to Africa.

On March break of 2006 I was given an incredible opportunity to get on a plane with eight other students from my school and go to Tanzania to help build a school building for a school that was overpopulated and needed help.
