Ready to takeoff















In a matter of hours I'll be on a similar plane at a similar altitude. I'm looking forward to 30 hours of travel, including 15 hours in the beautiful Casablanca.

Happy new year y'all. See you on the other side...

Love,
Julie or should I say Djeneba

I'm off again

Welp. It's official. I'm returning to the Sikoroni zaban.

It's been a year and a half since I've done any serious globe-trotting, which means I'm starting to feel antsy. So this winter I'll hop on a flight back to Bamako. But this time I won't be working for MHOP. Instead, I'll be interviewing women who live there about microfinance and informal credit networks that they use. It's all for my senior thesis in Development Studies.

Stay tuned for thoughts, musings, and maybe a photo here and there as I prepare for and undertake my next adventure!
