All packed and ready to go, at least physically and logistically if not psychologically!
I’m now sitting in Manchester airport having a last coffee before getting on my first flight to Istanbul. Looking forward to landing in Kigali around midnight tonight and finally getting a taste of life in Rwanda!
Over the last few days I’ve been through the full gamut of emotions, from excitement about the trip to complete denial and a desire only to stay in my comfort zone. But now the wheels are in motion and there’s definitely no backing out, I’m feeling pretty positive. I’m sure there will be some tough times and a lot to learn but I’m keen to get started.
