Cairo, Kiwengwa Zanzibar

Coming into this trip I was incredibly nervous, it was my first time traveling alone, and the farthest I have ever gone. However, the moment I arrived at the airport and was picked up by our amazing guides, I immediately knew that this was going to be unforgettable. Something that I wish I knew going into this trip, was how much I would want to stay. The people, whether that be the Cairo community or the guides and volunteers themselves, was what made this trip fantastic. There was never a dull moment and I always felt safe, understood, listened to, and accepted with every single one of these people. Doing something new is scary, doing it alone is even scarier, but as I arrived I realized that I was never to going to feel alone on this trip. I sincerely hope that who ever is reading this considers joining one of the trips offered by GIVE. They are truly magical, eye opening, and simply irrepressible experiences.
