Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

It's 25 kilometers to the nearby town and I usually go once a week to get groceries. I like taking public transport because then I don't have to bike in the sun. To take transport, I wake up at dawn and wait by the road! 

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

I am 7,500 miles from where I grew up!

How did I get around this week?:

I walked and sometimes biked to and from the school, which is a 40-minute walk!

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

I met the new deputy principal at our primary school! He studied agriculture science so he is motivated to maintain the orchard and try different agriculture projects I've been learning more about. Since he is still moving in, he has an exciting new energy and I'm looking forward to working with him.

Other Travel News from this week:

It rained on our ride home the other day, so we spread a tarp over ourselves in the back of the vehicle. Imagine a bus where you're holding the roof up in the rain! It's a great way to meet the other passengers and chat.
