June 26th is my first day as a volunteer on a wildlife refuge in Zimbabwe. Just half an hour from Victoria falls, I will be able to experience a whole new lifestyle! I have wanted to travel far my whole life. My family often took summer trips to Mexico, Puerto Rico, and other close by areas. However, they live very much like us and Ive never experience culture shock or felt like i was learning much. In Zimbabwe, I will be staying in an enclosed park, but surrounded with volunteers from around the world. We will travel off site and experience local cuisine (the chef if a local that the IVHQ employed). They encourage traveling (in groups) off site, especially on weekends. I cannot wait to experience a whole new place, despite me still being somewhat sheltered while im abroad.
