Week 46: Victoria Falls Half Marathon

I ran my second half marathon this week in the beautiful Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Along the run I was able to see the falls, cross a bridge to Zambia, see Baobab trees, and meet some cool people. Making new friends is one of my favorite things about travel and highlights the multitude of different ways to live one’s life. Whether it’s talking with an Australian lawyer about their justice system,  learning about the good places to eat in Durban, or breaking people’s stereotypes about Americans, I enjoy meeting new people, learning their story, and sharing mine

Before going up to the falls I lead a workshop on Gender Based Violence in a friend’s village. So much of what I do here involves me learning things as I go or more often than not from my mistakes. “Lesego speak to the kids about Commonweath Day” Great let me first learn what that is. Speaking and educating about GBV was a welcome relief as it is a topic I am both passionate and knowledgeable about.
