Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

This week I got to go into Maseru for my doctors appointment. The city is only about a two hour drive away, but it takes me six hours in a local taxi! It's always nice to go into the capital because I get to spend a few days outside of my village in the city.

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

Throughout our journey together, I've mostly travelled to and from my local town called Hlotse. I take a taxi for about two hours to get there, and I usually go a couple times a month to stock up on groceries, relax and hang out with friends!

How did I get around this week?:

My village is pretty small, so I go pretty much everywhere on foot. Every day I walk half an hour to and from my school with my students, and we like to listen to music and enjoy the beautiful views! I can even get small necessities like eggs, toilet paper and soap at local shops, which only takes about five minuets to walk to from my house. 

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

I don't often travel during the school year, but when I was in the capital I got to visit a newly opened cafe. I had an iced coffe and avocado toast, and for about an hour, I got to pretend I was back home in the US!
