Alex Nereson After two years of college study, I was eager for a change of pace and hungry for adventure — both were waiting for me Tanzania. The country offered endless opportunities for exploration and discovery and I found Tanzanians themselves to be among the most genuine people I have met anywhere. That Tanzania is home to an exciting mixture of the modern and the ancient was perpetually evident to me in its vibrant culture, bustling cities, and wild landscapes. If provided the opportunity, I would return in an instant.
