I loved my time with SFS!

I did the semester program in Tanzania and Kenya in the fall of 2011; it was by far one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Getting to go on all-day safaris to world- famous parks almost every week was awesome, but even better were the connections I made with people, which I wasn't expecting. We got to become a part of the community during our stay there; saying goodbye was one of the hardest things I've had to do! I also stay in touch with the group I went with; I had never met any of them before boarding the plane, but our incredible shared experiences brought us so close. There were definitely moments of culture shock and homesickness, but I think overall my family was a little offended with how little I wanted to come home at the end of the program.
