Travel has a tendency to look very glamorous but that’s not always the case. I’ve been getting a lot of comments about how perfect my life looks, and that’s concerning because there is really no such thing. Social media is a great way to share pieces of my journey, but know that there’s always more to the story. I don’t post images of the times I’ve been homesick, frustrated from limited wifi or language barriers, or the one time I accidentally booked a week’s stay at a place infested with bugs (😖). Not to mention the difficulties of remaining on a plant-based diet in Africa lol. Even though this is a dream come true from me, it comes with its own share of challenges that I have to overcome. But that’s all part of the experience, so I take the downs with the ups.

Series: Education struggles in South Sudan - Nyaboth, 6, holds her family stove that she carries to school to sit on during class. She says “There is nothing to sit on at school and as soon as I bring the stove home my mother needs it straight away for cooking”, she says with a smile. “The war brought me and my family here. I saw so many bad men with guns shooting people, I saw so many wounded. It made me very sad, it was so bad and it made me sad. I am very happy at school, my favourite subject is math. I live here in the POC with my mother and I feel safe.”
