Ahhh C'est la Vie!

Bonjour mes amis!

Hopefully all is well with each and every one of you. Man, life has just been…crazy, to say the least! While I do have other articles I’ve written (and will post shortly) about the reverse culture shock I felt at coming back to American, I thought it would be nice to write one of . . . → Read More: Ahhh C'est la Vie!

Hello? Is anyone out there?

Just curious. Does anyone read this in the blogosphere?

You know that feel-good movie called “Julie and Julia”? Julie…I think…starts blogging and wonders whether there is anyone who is even reading what she writes.

Tonight, I sit here and wonder the same thing.

Update your playlist…Kim style!

Hey ya’ll!

So I periodically post the music that I love and that I think you all should be listening to! Well…it’s time for another list! This one is heavily inspired by the music I heard in Madagasscar, which was a lot of French music with some traditional malagay songs and some world cup stuff on top. . . . → Read More: Update your playlist…Kim style!

Jack Johnson Inspired Post…About Africa.

Everything in quotations are lyrics from Jack Johnson songs. I do not own these lyrics, nor the songs, nor am I affiliated with Jack Johnson. I’m just a broke conservation biologist who was sitting around one night listening to his awesome music and started to make his music describe how I’m feeling.

Raspberry yogurt, a volkswagon, and a friend: Germany.

It was the day after I arrived in Germany. I’d just woken up. I immediately checked for new bug bites; a silly habit from Equatorial Guinea. It was cold outside, and I was wearing a sweater. I took my breakfast (fresh bread, marmalade, butter, and yogurt) out onto the porch. The bright spring sun gave everything . . . → Read More: Raspberry yogurt, a volkswagon, and a friend: Germany.

A day in Diego, Madagascar

6am.

Diego.

The bright blue sky stretches in a dome above the city; majestic strips of virgin white clouds create an awe-inspiring contrast. Cracked streets crisscross in a semi-block like pattern. One dusty, ex-colonial street after another. Two story houses line every cracked alley; pillars and beautifully shuttered windows allude to moments past. White washed walls stand like . . . → Read More: A day in Diego, Madagascar

Reviews: How my equipment faired in Africa.

Well, the time has come, my friends, for me to lay judgment down upon my well-traveled equipment. By equipment, I of course mean the stuff that I bought specifically for this trip. Yes, the trip isn’t over yet, but it’s been nine months and it’s most certainly been long enough for me to say what worked, . . . → Read More: Reviews: How my equipment faired in Africa.

Acer Netbook: Review!

Hi all!

So you may remember way back when I was planning this trip, I had serious doubts about whether or not it was worth it for me to bring my own personal computer along for the ride.
