Well folks y’all have patiently waited with me for the revealing of my countries that I’m going to. Up until this point I had only known this trip to be for Central America, Africa and Southeast Asia but now I know more. So let the research begin into culture and what these places are all about. Being careful of course not to set any expectations for what I will experience.
So without further ado and in the correct order:
#1) September, October, November:
GUATEMALA!
#2) December, January, February:
THAILAND!
#3) March, April, May:
BOTSWANA!

When you add all these people together and tell them to make a memory this is what you get, enjoy!
