We want this blog to document some of our favorite moments and experiences as we travel around the world over the years. This is partially for our benefit - so we make sure not to miss anything! But, it's also so we can keep in touch with our friends and family. We love to hear from you so let us know what you think!

Farewell, Tanzania!

We're about to head out from the hotel to begin our series of flights back home but we will both miss Tanzania quite a bit.  Along our travels we met and learned from incredibly kind people and saw a wider array of natural beauty than either of us could have imagined.  We climbed a mountain, saw a lion from ten feet away, and found out what Simon's beard looks like after over two weeks without shaving.  We pushed ourselves mentally and physically and we benefited from the tremendous support of a dedicated team that was as invested in our well-being as we were.  We traveled thousands of miles and grew closer together while accomplishing a long-term goal.  We hope that we made our team, our families, our friends, and our pup proud!  We were fortunate to visit this remarkable place and benefit from its endless hospitality.  We will carry the lessons from this journey with us even as we leave Tanzania.  Thank you, Kilimanjaro Brothers, Joseph, Priscus, George, Juma, Andrew, Stephen, Jacob, Edward, Masanja, Magembe, Paul, Emmanuel, and Mtaki.  We are glad to have met you and we will miss you very much.

Until the next adventure!
-Erika and Simon
