So I just recently had my 25th Birthday in Kigali, Rwanda! Quite the experience I must say. It included an hour of hiking the many hills of the city searching for a specific restaurant, doing flips on a trampoline once we arrived, dominating in some foosball, and enjoying delectable burritos and quesadillas. Definitely one of the most random, yet entertaining birthdays yet!
My team also made a list of 25 things of why they loved me. I thought it was pretty hilarious, so I wanted to share it with all of you. It is happily entitled…
