I have a lot of flaws but one thing I am not is a flake. If there is a chance I don't think I'll follow through on something, I won't promise it. I believe in keeping your word and most importantly, I believe in loyalty.
A loyalist. That's what the enneagram told me I am. It's a hippy dippy personality model that my dear hippy dippy friend Taran showed me early in college. I probably scoffed at it...
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.
