Mbiki? What's that?

  The title of this post may have been your response when you opened up this blog. 

Well, friends....that's me! 

On my last trip to East Africa I was given that nickname by some friends.

 It is KiLuguru (a tribal language of the Luguru people who live in Tanzania, Africa) and to my best understanding it means "wise sister".
As I was thinking about what tagline to use for this blog and impending journey I thought what better name than one that was given by East Africans themselves! 

The main purpose of this blog is to document, share, and of course keep you all informed of the happenings on the other side of the globe!
