Peter and Helen
Dear friends,
I am really enjoying the hostel I’m temporarily living at. Recently, I decided that I am going to stay here for the duration of my fellowship in Nairobi, and I couldn’t be happier.
One of the best things about traveling is meeting new and interesting people, and one of the best places to do this is at a hostel. Recently, I came across two really amazing individuals, Peter and Helen, who have been traveling for four and a half years now. They travel somewhere and when they get there, decide how long they want to stay (the best way to travel). They’ve done all kinds of amazing volunteer projects, and are on their way to Madagascar to work with coral reef conservation. Interestingly enough, when asking them how they finance their travels, Peter and Helen told me that they rent out their apartment in Brooklyn, which enables them to live comfortably and travel wherever their hearts desire. I had never heard of such an unusual way of being able to travel before, but they make it work.
Here’s to you, Peter and Helen. I hope that I can be as cool as you two someday. Thanks for inspiring me.
