Profile Information
- About me:
- I spent three weeks in Morocco in May - June 2009. It was the trip of a lifetime and I'm so thankful for the opportunity. The people at Home Base are fantastic and I still think of them often - the most genuinely kind and caring people you could hope to meet. I kept a blog on TravelPod and would be happy to share it with you if you are heading to Rabat.
This was my first international volunteer trip and I'm looking forward to doing more with CCS. Ayacucho, Peru, Dharamsala, India, and Robertson, South Africa, are next on my list!
