    With seven interns arrived and one on their way, the 2023 International Travel Team Internship has officially begun! After a grueling two-day travel itinerary, interns arrived in Dar es Salaam for brief overnight stay, before departing on a 5-hour (air-conditioned) bus ride to Morogoro. Since arriving at the house, we have been slowly adjusting to all the unique elements Morogoro has to offer. From the heat to the food, our team has been enthusiastic about taking advantage of all our surroundings. 

During our first Sunday, the team took an introductory hike up to Choma Falls! This 3-5 hour hike served to test all of our stamina, and it is safe to say we have all been successfully humbled. 

After being blessed with a cooling rainfall on the trail, we were finally ready to finish our trek up to the falls, and the view we were met with made it all worth the effort.


The coming weeks are sure to be filled with more adventures like this. As we begin more substantial work in the office, be sure to come back to the blog for more updates!

Ciao!
