Kimberly Monroe's FLAS Fellowship in Tanzania

Visiting Tanzania was an amazing experience. Not only was it a pleasure to learn Swahili in Africa but living five weeks with the natives speaking their language, eating their food, and learning their culture was a life changing experience. While there, I noticed many parallels with the US South culture. The way we speak to people in passing, community eating, and respect to elders is very similar to where I come from so it wasn't hard to adjust. The people live their lives with no worries and that's what I enjoyed the most. My host family was the best.
