It's true that we named our children after towns that we'd never been to.I can't wait to name my children someday. Until then, I'm going to keep on traveling. I leave tomorrow for Israel. I will also spend a weekend in Istanbul with a dear friend where I will see culture and religion and beauty and history. I will listen to new music I put on my iPod. I will write things in my journal every day....
About Me
- KK
- Portland, Oregon
- I'm Kelsey from Portland, Oregon. I'm currently living in Mto wa Mbu, Tanzania where I'm volunteering for the Red Sweater Project. I started this blog for everyone back home to keep tabs on me and to force myself to write about my experience. Why Mutombo? It's a long story, but the short version is that Mutombo has become a term of endearment amongst my closest friends; it's synonymous with community - with family. When I found out that I would be living in a town that sounds so similar to the word (i.e. mmmtwomboo), it just seemed fitting. The hardest part about leaving my life was leaving behind my community. I'm hoping to find a new one here.
