I'm getting there...

It's now about 20 hours untill I leave my safe home in Trondheim. I am actually not going very far, but still my journey begins in Oslo. At a seminar with Fredskorpset. I'm pretty excited! Next saturday I will be sitting on an airplane on my way from the capital city of Norway to the capital of Malawi: Lilongwe. I'll be staying in Lilongwe for about a week, then I'm heading a little further north to take a swim in the great Lake Malawi. After that I'm going south to Zomba, which will be my home the next months.

That’s it. Adventure awaits:)

Volda

 
I started this semester by driving in an overloaded minicar to the great city of Volda among the mountains and fjords of Western Norway. A perfect place to prepare for Africa. During a two week program we looked at everything from the great rift valley system to lions and Livingstone and intercultural communication. I even learned some chichewa: "Muli bwanji" (how are you?) and "Zikomo" (thanks). So I've got what it takes..




Anyway, Western Norway is characterized by spectacular scenery and charming inhabitants, and despite the language barriers we even managed to visit the home of a Local.  It turns out that they are quite like us! I would definately go back, perhaps in May.
