Life is such a beautiful thing and the way you choose to live your life speaks volumes about your character. A few weeks ago I went to Africa where I was able to see things I thought I’d only see on TV. I was able to experience a culture I knew very little about and meet people who changed the way I view my own life. Quincy and I went through villages where we saw the happiest kids ever. What were they doing? Playing with tires, wire and a make-shift ball. Simple things. Nothing special but they were happy. We walked through and said hello.

Tried to play with them but they were all a little scared. I can just imagine; two strange dudes walking up to me in my home. I would be scared too. We managed to get a fun game of jump rope in with a few girls. It was fun. They were laughing.

The currency in Botswana is called Pular so I had about $300 that I converted when we arrived. When I tell you that 300 covered my entire weeks stay, I kid you not. Crazy. 

We took a small plane from Gaborone to Manu. A smaller village where Safari’s are very popular. Here we stayed in huts; no wifi, minimal electricity, no cell reception, no soap or clean towels, mosquito Nets over the beds! It was in the cut.

We stayed here for two nights. Two nights I won’t ever forget. Such a humbling experience. Then we hit the safari! POW POW! Lion King swagg in full effect. The drive to the safari was MAD COLD! We had to bundle up! Blankets and alll dat! 

I’m not going to talk too much about the safari because below all this you will find our safari video! But checkout the sunset! 

Doing something like this truly shows us how blessed we are. Our showers, computers, cell phones, lifestyles — everything we are so accustomed to — is such a luxury many people do not have. Most kids in the village ran around with no shoes, dirty water to bathe in, rashions for food. Such an experience. Such an adventure. Sharing it with my best friend was the best of it all.
