Welcome to My Blog!

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to my blog!

I want to share with you what my experience is like living in Cape Town.

For those who don't know, I'm spending a year in Cape Town as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar. My job as a Rotary Scholar is to be a representative of my country (USA) and promote Rotary ideals of Goodwill and World Peace. That sounds like a big task right? Well, I think it's actually quite simple. I believe that goodwill is promoted through community sevice and world peace can be promoted through cross cultural relationships and communication. So all my activities in Cape Town revolve around building relationships, learning/teaching, and communication.


While I'm in Cape Town, I'm studying Medical Anthropology at a South African university, spending time with my host Rotary Club, making friends from around the world, doing service work, and basically just living life. So everyday, I have plenty of opportunities to be an ambassador for my country and build relationships.

I'm going to use this blog to share my experiences as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar with you. I hope you enjoy learning about the life of one young woman in Cape Town, South Africa.
