The Best things in Rwanda

Every now and then I run a poll of my viewers to figure out what the best things to do, see and eat in Rwanda are. We're up to episode two at the moment, so plenty of time to join in with future polls.

Ten Years in Rwanda!

 

Today I'm celebrating ten years since I moved back to Rwanda! I was originally a VSO volunteer from 2007-2009, then returned a few years later. I was only passing through, or so I thought, but a decade later and I'm still here! So, I've decided to share some of my favourite memories along the way.

Up a Tree on Lake Ruhondo - Treehouse Adventures

Hi guys. It's been a while - sorry!

Here's a little excursion I went on recently with my friends. We stayed in a treehouse on Lake Ruhondo and swung back past the Ellen Degeneres & Dian Fossey Fund gorilla museum in Kinigi. Enjoy!

And if you're interested, I've shared a bit about my experience volunteering at Kigali Memorial in 2008, and reflections on how Rwanda has changed over the years.
